Vote for Minneapolis for Space on Global Monopoly Game Board

MINNEAPOLIS COULD EARN COVETED PLACE ON GLOBAL MONOPOLY GAME BOARD Vote for Minneapolis at www.monopoly.com

(MINNEAPOLIS)&#ndash;February 13, 2008&#ndash; Do you think Minneapolis deserves a spot on the MONOPOLY game board? It may be possible with the new MONOPOLY Here & Now: The World Edition.

MONOPOLY fans around the world can now vote for ‘candidates cities’ listed on an on-line ballot to determine 20 of the 22 property spaces on the new MONOPOLY Here & Now: The World Edition game board.

Since Minneapolis isn’t currently featured the ballot, it can be nominated to be on the game board as a “wild card” city! Two spaces on the board have been reserved for wild card cities that are nominated as write-in candidates, meaning virtually any city on Earth has the potential of finding a home on the new worldwide MONOPOLY game board. Why not Minneapolis?

Each day from now until Feb. 28, fans may visit www.monopoly.com to cast up to 10 votes for cities featured on the ballot. During this vote, fans may also nominate one wild card city per day.

Beginning Feb. 29, the top 20 vote-getting wild card cities will compete in a one-week face-off for the opportunity to be featured as members of the “lowest rent” property group on the game board, traditionally home to Baltic Avenue and Mediterranean Avenue.

The MONOPOLY Here & Now: The World Edition game board will be unveiled in August 2008 and the game will go on sale in September 2008 in 45 countries.
