It's time to roll up your sleeves and prepare to roll the dice on a brand-new MONOPOLY: Penang Edition as it passes GO!
Winning Moves, under license from Hasbro, a leading toy and game company, launched the official MONOPOLY: Penang Edition in collaboration with Penang Global Tourism at an exciting event today at Queensbay Mall.
MONOPOLY: Penang Edition (available in stores and online starting today) features an exciting twist to the classic game by replacing the iconic locations with landmarks and locations around Penang, which was officially unveiled today by Mr. Monopoly himself.
YB Wong Hon Wai at Penang State EXCO for Tourism and Creative Economy (PETACE) says, "Penang's rich history, delectable cuisine, and breathtaking landscapes has long been a favourite destination amongst visitors from near and far.
Now with MONOPOLY: Penang Edition, it will be the first MONOPOLY game created in Malaysia that focuses on a particular region of the country. We aim to encapsulate the essence of this remarkable state within the confines of the iconic family board game”.
Visit some of Penang's attractions, such as Batu Ferringhi, Kek Lok Si and Penang Hill.
Once you've seen the sites, don't forget to journey around the board and visit some of Penang's shopping malls - Queensbay Mall, Design Village Outlet Mall, Sunway Carnival Mall and Gurney Plaza! Round off your turn with a visit to Fort Cornwallis and Komtar, which is featured as one of the game's most expensive properties.
Jennifer Lau, Partnerships Manager at Winning Moves says, "This game is a celebration of everything Penang, from its landmarks to its culture. Thank you to everyone who contributed during the public consultation process. We have been wonderfully spoiled with choices when putting this edition together."
Many businesses and landmarks around Penang are featured in the game. Starting today, Penangites and visitors alike can start the journey once they arrive at Penang International Airport to stay at one of Penang's beautiful hotels, whether at The Granite Luxury Hotel or Courtyard by Marriott Penang. Take a tour around Penang to see the artwork on Armenian Street before enjoying a ride on the Penang Ferry with your friends at Tenby Schools Penang and Stonyhurst International School Penang.
Tenby School student Kaira (Form 5) excitedly stated that "with the Penang edition, I can enjoy the Christmas holiday and create memorable moments with my family and friends whilst reminiscing memories of the iconic locations in Penang."
MONOPOLY: Penang Edition and Top Trumps: Penang Edition are available for purchase at select retail outlets across Malaysia, including BookXcess, Kinokuniya, Twigs, Tsutaya, York House, Hamleys, Toys R Us, Foreva Kids, Design Village Outlet Mall's Customer Service lounge, Urban Pantry Grocery at Design Village, and online (through Shopee - IMAGINEGAMES, and Design Village official website shop), ensuring that locals and visitors can relish the joy of the game at their leisure.
