Top Trumps’ game manager Tim Barney spoke about the board’s design, the process of selecting Queens locations and more.
This weekend a new Monopoly Board hit the shelves, but unlike the original’s classic Atlantic City-inspired locations, this version hits even closer to home.
The Queens board is the second borough to be featured in the Monopoly special editions list, following the release of the Brooklyn board in 2021. Top Trumps also announced the projected release of a Fort Lauderdale and a Detroit edition for later this year. After a busy year, there are now nearly 40 special edition U.S. city Monopoly boards.
Every edition is unique. Queens is dissimilar to any area that’s come before or will come after and I think the locals would agree there’s nowhere else like it on Earth. I believe that uniqueness is successfully emulated through the look and feel of the board. We did our best to capture the essence of this great community by celebrating the places and things that are quintessentially Queens and really do call it their home.
We received thousands of submissions with so many amazing places that we really were spoiled for choice. It was a difficult process to try to decide which things represented each business type, neighborhood, etc. best, but those nominations really helped a lot. In addition to public response, we seek places with longevity, credibility, and community engagement.The selections are always the toughest part because we want to fit in everyone but we will always leave someone out.
