New and fun Etobicoke-Opoly board game hits the streets

June 19, 2020 by SouthEtobicokeNews

Community residents and social media are buzzing over our new board game.

Yes, we have our own board game called Etobicoke-Opoly, which allows players to buy famous landmarks across our beautiful community.

“If you love Etobicoke, you’ll love this game,” the promotional materials promise. “Help spread the word about everything great that is Etobicoke.”

For those who have dreamed about buying The Kingsway, The Old Mill, or another Etobicoke landmark, now you can and have fun at the same time with Etobicoke-Opoly!

The game is created by Outset Media Corp., of Brampton, which says it plays much like the traditional board game. You can trade iconic Etobicoke landmarks and attractions as Sherway Gardens, Woodbine Racetrack, Etobicoke School of the Arts and more.

Much like best-seller Monopoly, in Etobicoke-Opoly players collect properties, pay rent and mortgages when needed, the makers say.

Another fun aspect are the “Big Fun” and “Contingency” cards with rewards as being crowned Miss Etobicoke or penalties as eating too much at Rib Fest. City blocks and keys to the city replace houses and hotels and streets as Royal York Rd., and Lake Shore Blvd., replace the old railways.

“This game screams Etobicoke through and through and we have loved playing it,” according to its marketers.

Outset Media says the “the game has been one of the best-selling versions and actually sold out in its first week in stores.”

Residents seems to love it and have taken to social media to talk about the game.

“Got mine. It’s so much fun,” writes Lisa de Wit.

“Omg how cool,” says Aziza Mamedova.

Tracy Cho-Yee thanked readers for the post saying “I have to have one.”

And Marie Braz asks “here’s my question, which Mimico street is Park Avenue.”

The game is being carried by Walmart Canada and available at its Sherway Mall branch, which has since restocked its shelves. It cost about $30.
