ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Monopoly is getting a Duke City makeover.
Game maker Hasbro officially launched Albuquerque Monopoly this week during an event at the Sandia Peak Tramway, replacing the classic Atlantic City properties with some of Albuquerque’s most recognizable landmarks, attractions, businesses, and institutions.
Instead of buying Boardwalk and Park Place, players can now land on local favorites including Nob Hill, the KiMo Theatre, The University of New Mexico, Old Town, the Sandia Peak Tramway, and Petroglyph National Monument.
The Albuquerque edition also highlights local businesses and community organizations such as Ex Novo Brewing Company, Frontier, Duran Central Pharmacy, Adelante Development Center, and Locker 505.
Other featured locations and organizations include:
- Albuquerque Isotopes
- Central New Mexico Community College
- La Luz Trail
- Paseo del Bosque Trail
- Rainbow Ryders
- Route 66
- The Pit
- National Museum of Nuclear Science & History
- New Mexico Museum of Natural History & Science
The game is available for purchase at several Albuquerque retailers, including the Albuquerque Museum, Duke City Toys, Sandia Peak Tramway, Frontier, John Thomas Jewelers, and the National Museum of Nuclear Science & History.
The Albuquerque-themed edition joins a growing list of custom Monopoly games that spotlight communities around the country while showcasing local landmarks and culture.
