A while ago, there was a contest of sorts that allowed the general public to vote on a city of choice to determine eligiblity to be included on the newest edition of Monopoly. Edmonton was one of the cities of choice so of course I voted for it! Edmonton is in the $3,000,000 spot!
Today, June 22, 2010, Hasbro made the announcement. We will be on the green strip along with Calgary and Sarnia, Ontario. Receiving the highest number of votes was Chatham-Kent, Ontario which gives it the top property, the equivalent of Boardwalk.
The Canadian version of Monopoly will be in stores in Canada June 28.
$39.99. This game was featured on Citytv Breakfast Show this morning, June 24, 2010.
