Jackson Hole, Wyoming, is a vibrant western playground with much to offer. Ski resorts, national parks, historic landmarks, and endless recreational opportunities are scattered throughout the valley. The area has gotten so popular that the average single-family home now costs a record $7 million.
It seems only fitting that the classic board game, Monopoly, would choose Jackson Hole to be the highlight of its next edition of the game where you can buy, sell, dream, and scheme your way to riches. There will be no “Boardwalk” or “Park Place” on the 22 squares on the board. They will be replaced with iconic representations of the Jackson Hole area. The game will also come with customized Community Chest and Chance playing cards, ensuring every detail of the game pays homage to the region.
Locals and tourists are being asked to submit nominations for what locations will be represented on the game board. If you’d like to submit your input on one, or many of the 22 possible square locations, send an email to jacksonhole@toptrumps.com.
Surely Jackson Hole Mountain Resort will make the cut, but what about Snow King, Grand Teton National Park, or local favorites like Town Square or The Million Dollar Cowboy Bar? The public will decide, and nominations are being accepted until June 28, 2024. All submissions will be reviewed, tallied, and closely considered during the board creation process. The goal is to create an accurate portrayal of what everyone loves about Jackson Hole.
The new edition is slated to be released nationwide in late 2024. It will be available in stores as well as online retailers including CVS, Amazon, and more.
