Nominate suggestions by Nov. 22 for a St. Paul edition of Monopoly

Summit Avenue or Rice Street? The Minnesota State Capitol or the Cathedral of St. Paul? Union Depot or Holman Field?

All of the above, perhaps.

The public has until Nov. 22 to nominate their picks for iconic landmarks, businesses, places, spaces and more for a St. Paul edition of the Monopoly board game.

Nominate a St. Paul icon — which can also be a school or a nonprofit — for a square on the game board at US.TopTrumps.com/SaintPaul.

Monopoly as consumers know it today has been a popular game since Parker Brothers began marketing it in 1935; players buy and sell property as they go around the board, a lesson in real estate, banking, economics, wheeling and dealing and more.

Hasbro, a game and toy company that acquired Parker Brothers in the early 1990s, has partnered with Winning Moves International to create city-specific versions of the popular board game featuring well-known local landmarks, businesses and nonprofit organizations.

In September, a game manager for Top Trumps USA visited St. Paul for ideas and as part of a publicity tour.

The expectation is that Top Trumps USA, the American division of London-based Winning Moves International, will debut “Monopoly: St. Paul Edition” on June 18, 2025, under license from Hasbro.

Top Trumps has rolled out about 40 city-specific Monopoly games in the United States since 2020, and plans to pick up the pace and produce 12-20 annually, on top of games designed around sports teams and other themes. It’s also made international editions, such as “Monopoly: Dubai.”
