WEST HARTFORD, CT — West Hartford residents will soon be able to buy, sell, and trade some of their favorite hometown landmarks, restaurants, and businesses without leaving their living rooms.
A new Monopoly-style board game called "West Hartford-Opoly" celebrates the town's familiar locations while raising money for Hall High School and Aiken Elementary School.
The customized game features West Hartford landmarks, parks, schools, restaurants, and businesses, replacing traditional Monopoly properties with locations familiar to residents.
The game also gives classic Monopoly features a distinctly West Hartford twist.
Chance and Community Chest cards have been renamed Rose Garden and Reservoir cards, incorporating local references and humor.
Among the hometown personalities making an appearance is the infamous Trout Brook Turkey.
Players can also search for hidden objects throughout the illustrated game board, adding another activity to the traditional property-trading game.
Some purchasers will receive special surprises, including free West Hartford parking, ice cream from A.C. Petersen Farms or tickets to Playhouse on Park.
The game was developed with support from local businesses and organizations as a fundraiser benefiting the two West Hartford public schools.

West Hartford-Opoly is available for pre-order for $40 through Sunday, Nov. 15, 2026.

Organizers are promoting the game as a keepsake for current and former residents, West Hartford school alumni, and others with connections to the community.
Although pre-orders are being accepted ahead of the holiday season, the games are not expected to arrive until after the holidays.
