Fort Lauderdale is about to become the newest addition to the Monopoly community.
This year, the classic board game will receive a vibrant twist with the release of Monopoly: Fort Lauderdale Edition.
This exciting version, crafted by Top Trumps USA, will replace familiar Atlantic City locations with Fort Lauderdale's most beloved landmarks, businesses and nonprofits.
Mr. Monopoly and Sarah Bowman, sales executive of Top Trumps USA, visited NBC6 to talk about the new board game coming to shelves this December.

"With a touch of the local flavor, we hope to convey the spirit of what makes Fort Lauderdale so beloved by both locals and tourists," she said.
