Naperville landmarks are getting the Monopoly treatment with a new board game launching Thursday, Nov. 12, at DuPage Children's Museum.

Monopoly: Naperville Edition, made by Top Trumps USA and Hasbro, replaces the classic board's properties with local spots, according to Naperville Patch. Landmarks on the board include Main Street, the Riverwalk, Centennial Beach, Millennium Carillon, Knoch Knolls Park and Naper Settlement. Additional local businesses and organizations also appear, but those names won't be revealed until the launch event, Patch reported.

The game is a full Monopoly experience with a local spin. The Top Trumps USA product page describes Naperville-themed Chance and Community Chest cards, eight metal tokens and support for two to six players ages 8 and older.

At the launch party, families can meet Mr. Monopoly, create their own game tokens, draw cards, railroad stations and location squares.

Naperville joins a lineup of city-themed editions Top Trumps has produced with Hasbro. Philadelphia, Austin, Portland and other cities have their own boards in the series, each listed at $39.99 on the company's website.

This week in Naperville

Thursday, Nov. 12, 4:30–7:30 p.m. — Monopoly: Naperville Edition launch party, DuPage Children's Museum, 301 N. Washington St. Meet Mr. Monopoly and design custom game pieces. Contact the museum at 630-637-8000 for admission details.

Roveena Chand Jassal is Surround Sound Media's very first news producer with a vibrant background in magazine and print journalism herself. Starting off in beauty and fashion at Women's Health Magazine and featuring my own mom and friends in an InStyle South Asian beauty traditions feature, I knew I had a passion for shining light on multicultural voices, especially growing up in the Chicago suburbs. After attending fashion shows in Miami and trying out products for Black Friday deals, I had a desire to do more serious reporting, and found myself being the youngest Punjabi Sikh journalist at Toronto Star. It was here where I really felt a connection to the diverse community I serve, from running around on the ground investigating international students being exploited for overpriced housing to amplifying those same students who have been able to find peace and confidence in the city's growing Hip Hop scene. I've had the opportunity to interview major celebrities, government officials, businesses, and creators, but what I enjoy most of all is being a contradicting human being because this truth is what allows me to pick and produce real stories that give a community true knowledge of their contradicting human being selves too.
