Today, Hasbro has announced that for the first time in 85 years they will be updating all 16 Community Chance cards in the base Monopoly game this fall. No longer will you be able to win second place in a beauty contest, but you might be able to get a bonus for shopping local!
Hasbro is asking fans to vote on their choices in a head to head vote. Head to MonopolyCommunityChest.com to select your favorites of 32 cards (sixteen sets of 2 head to head votes) and those with the most votes will be added to the game.
“The world has changed a lot since Monopoly became a household name more than 85 years ago, and clearly today community is more important than ever,†said Eric Nyman, Chief Consumer Officer at Hasbro. “We felt like 2021 was the perfect time to give fans the opportunity to show the world what community means to them through voting on new Community Chest Cards. We’re really excited to see what new cards get voted in!â€
Hasbro is counting on their fans to help reflect what community means in their real lives, into the Monopoly game, by voting for new cards like “Shop Localâ€, “Rescue A Puppy†or “Help Your Neighbors.â€
To further show Monopoly’s commitment to the community, they will be hosting the first ever Monopoly Charity Classic with a $350,000 Community Chest fund up for grabs. You can tune in to this celebrity filled game of Monopoly this spring on YouTube, where four celebrities will play to win a part of the Community Chest to be donated to the charity of their choice. This game will also be the first place you’ll be able to see the new Community Chest cards that have won the vote!
