Hasbro is coming out with a Monopoly Branson Edition hoping to spotlight some of Branson’s attractions in a game sold internationally.

Parker Padgett and Brandon Scott of Ozarks First has the full story below:

The toy company said it wants input from people in the community.

Katie Hubbard from Top Trumps USA, Inc. said, “We want to know, what do you want to see on the board? What is your favorite park to take the kids to feed the ducks or what is your favorite restaurant? Or who are those icons of Branson that must be Boardwalk and Park Place? That is the most important thing. But I also want to know: we put local charities on the community chest square. So, who do you want to see represented?”

Licensing partners presented their ideas for the newest game during Tuesday night’s council member hearing.

Hubbard said there are less than twenty city-specific monopoly games in the country, and Branson is the second in Missouri behind Kansas City.

“I’m just really excited to get that feedback. You know, I spent every summer there growing up, but it has been a while. So, I want to know what’s important to the people that live here and what’s important to the people that still come out here every summer.” said Hubbard.

Public submissions and business inquiries can be sent to branson@toptrumps.com.

The Monopoly Branson edition is expected to hit store shelves and online in 2023.
