Properties, pieces & chance cards for St. Louis Monopoly? FOX 2 fans share ideas
ST. LOUIS – Board game makers are working to develop a St. Louis-inspired Monopoly game.
This game aims to be quite different than the brand knockoff St. Louis-opoly or St. Louis Cardinals-themed Monopoly editions from past years. St. Louis landmarks, symbols, and cultural references will take center stage.
Top Trumps USA, the company behind the planned Monopoly board game, is asking for the public’s help with ideas. Folks with St. Louis ties are encouraged to email game idea submissions to St.Louis@toptrumps.com.
What places should go on the board? What pieces should players move along the board? What should be the fate of chance cards?
The digital team at FOX 2 recently asked its Facebook and Instagram followers for ideas. Fans chimed in with quite some interesting suggestions.
