MONOPOLY The Hamptons Edition
MONOPOLY The Hamptons Edition was just produced by Top Trumps USA, an American branch of Winning Moves International (creators of classic games and puzzles), under license from Hasbro.
MONOPOLY In order to ensure that every aspect of the game pays homage to the legendary Long Island location, the Hamptons Edition swaps out the iconic Atlantic City squares from the Boardwalk to Park Place with images of beloved cultural institutions, iconic buildings, and time-honored businesses from the Hamptons. It also includes a specially designed Community Chest and Chance playing cards. Included in the whole game are:
Sites that showcase the East End’s natural beauty and geography (Sag Harbor Sand Dunes, Shadmoor State Park, East Hampton Main Beach, Cooper’s Beach, Atlantic Avenue Beach, Hallock State Park Reserve, Montauk Boardwalk Trail and Shelter Island)
Local nonprofits (East End Hospice and Hamptons United)
Cultural destinations (Bridge Gardens and Southampton Main Street)
Historical landmarks (Camp Hero Radar Facility, Agawam Park World War Memorial, Cedar Point Lighthouse, Montauk Lighthouse, and Hook Wind Mill)
Beloved local businesses and shops (Homeport Montauk, The Roundtree Amagansett, Southampton Inn, Stevenson’s Toys, Hampton Chutney and Propane Depot)
Transportation staples (Hampton Jitney, Hampton Ambassador, Montauk Airport and Long Island Railroad)
“We’re thrilled to kick off summer with the launch of MONOPOLY The Hamptons Edition and to celebrate one of New York’s most beloved, culturally rich and geographically beautiful regions. We’ve spent months creating a portrayal of the area’s dynamic communities that we hope locals and visitors alike will enjoy for years to come,” says Dennis Gavaghen, a representative from Top Trumps USA. “We’ve incorporated important feedback from locals to truly make this a fun and engaging game for Hamptonites and beyond.”
