Baltimore's rich cultural tapestry is about to be immortalized in one of gaming's most iconic formats. The highly anticipated Monopoly GO The Baltimore Edition is set to make its grand debut, offering both locals and visitors a chance to own a piece of Charm City's most beloved landmarks in this special 90th anniversary celebration of the classic board game.

The official unveiling is scheduled for next week at Power Plant Live!, where Mr. Monopoly himself will join local officials and business leaders to reveal which Baltimore treasures have secured their spots on the coveted board. This exclusive edition is the only licensed version in Maryland, produced by Top Trumps USA under license from Hasbro, making it a true collector's item for board game enthusiasts and Baltimore fans alike.

From Community Input to Cultural Celebration

What makes this edition particularly special is how it came to life. Earlier in 2025, Mr. Monopoly invited Baltimore residents to submit suggestions for which local landmarks, businesses, and cultural sites should replace the traditional Atlantic City properties. The response was overwhelming, with passionate locals championing everything from historic sites to beloved eateries.

"The Baltimore edition is a love letter to Baltimore," explained Tim Barney, a Top Trumps USA representative. "We are so appreciative of everyone who suggested landmarks, organizations and businesses to make this Baltimore edition unique and truly special. The enthusiasm from the public and, in turn, those establishments who raced for an opportunity for a place on the board, are what makes this experience fun."

A Game 90 Years in the Making

As Monopoly celebrates its 90th birthday this year, it's worth noting this beloved game predates many everyday items we take for granted - it's older than ballpoint pens (1938), Silly Putty (1943), and even the Frisbee (1948)! Yet its enduring popularity continues to bring communities together, now with a distinctly Baltimore flavor.

The familiar Community Chest and Chance cards will remain but have been customized to reflect Baltimore's unique history and cultural significance. Imagine drawing a card that sends you to the Inner Harbor or collecting $200 as you pass Camden Yards! Talk about bringing local pride to game night, hon!

What Made the Cut?

While the final board remains under wraps until the grand unveiling, speculation runs wild about which Baltimore icons secured their spots. Could Camden Yards replace Boardwalk? Might Johns Hopkins University claim the prestigious dark blue properties? Will Mr. Trash Wheel make an appearance? The possibilities are as diverse as Baltimore itself.

Join the Celebration

The unveiling event at Power Plant Live! promises to be more than just a product launch - it's a celebration of Baltimore's unique character. Following the official reveal, attendees can enjoy live music, food and drink specials, and a variety of activities including country line dancing, karaoke, and even a Joker-inspired Halloween pop-up bar called "Why So Serious?"

As one local enthusiast put it, "Let's make the Baltimore Monopoly the best Monopoly that ever Monopolyed!" With the city's passionate involvement in the creation process, it's hard to imagine it being anything less.

Whether you're a lifelong Baltimore resident or simply appreciate the city's rich history and vibrant culture, Monopoly GO The Baltimore Edition offers a fresh way to connect with Charm City. Just don't be surprised if you find yourself negotiating over Harbor Place properties with the same intensity as a real estate developer - that's the magic of bringing Monopoly home to Baltimore.
