Lagos Edition Of Monopoly Arrives

In line with the popularity of Lagos as an entertainment, tourism and business capital, Monopoly, the world’s most famous board game is set to launch the first African city edition The City of Lagos Monopoly board on 11 December.

Showbiz Trends learnt that the ‘City of Lagos Monopoly’ board is brought to the market by Bestman Games with the support of the Lagos State Government, First Bank of Nigeria Plc, GTBank Plc and other esteemed partners.

“The strength of the City of Lagos Monopoly board is the enhancement of the profile of Lagos and Nigeria, and presenting the city on the world stage in a fun and attractive way. Moreso, it is a powerful tool for children, as they grow up, to play a board game that they can relate to and that captures familiar streets, neighbourboods and leading brands, which other board games currently do not address,” the marketers added.

Showbiz Trends learnt that one of the reasons that the City of Lagos Edition has enjoyed the full endorsement of the Lagos State Government is their desire to use this novel tool to educate people about some of the laws of the city that are so often overlooked, promote financial literacy and tourism, allowing all those who love Lagos to have a piece of her in their homes and get a sense of the unique aspects of daily life that are synonymous with the mega city of Lagos.

Approximately 750 million people have played the game; making it “the most played board game in the world.”

With just a few weeks leading up to Christmas, this is a perfect gift for all members of the family.
