Pittsburgh-Themed Monopoly Game Coming; You Can Pick Square Names

PITTSBURGH, PA — Who needs Monopoly's Park Place and Boardwalk when you can purchase the Duquesne Incline or Primanti Bros.? That question is about to be answered, as Pittsburgh is about to get its own Monopoly game - and you could have a say as to which local landmarks are on the board.

The official Monopoly Pittsburgh edition will substitute area locations for the traditional Atlantic City squares, with representations of cultural sites, historic landmarks, and time-honored businesses, alongside Pittsburgh-themed Community Chest and Chance playing cards to ensure each detail of the game pays homage to life in the Steel City.

“From the Steel Tower to the Sister Bridges, to the Carnegie Museums and the August Wilson Center, Pittsburgh isn’t short on iconic locations to visit and enjoy,” Pittsburgh Mayor Ed Gainey said at a news conference on a Mt. Washington overlook to announce the move. "Pittsburgh is proud to be able to celebrate our rich culture and history with this new edition of Monopoly.”

You can email Pittsburgh-themed board suggestions to pittspittsburgh@toptrumps.com March 30. The city-themed version of the game will be available in the fall.
