| First-ever Monopoly edition featuring world's greatest cities
The big launch on Aug 27 |
Thank all Monopoly fans for participating in the worldwide online voting earlier and the long-awaited Monopoly Here & Now: The World Edition is to be launched on Aug 27!
We should be delighted that after the worldwide vote, Hong Kong is elected as one of 22 cities to be included in the new World Edition. Located on the yellow zone, Hong Kong is one of the two highest priced Asian cities along with Beijing, more valuable than Shanghai, Tokyo and Taipei.
The most famous tourist attractions "Peak Tram" will be used on the game board to represent Hong Kong. For other cities, some well-known images are used: the Great Wall for Beijing, traditional red lantern for Shanghai, National Palace Museum for Taipei, and Nozomi bullet train for Tokyo. |
