That power is currently in your hands, but the clock is ticking.
Top Trumps USA, the company licensed by Hasbro to create the official MONOPOLY: Philadelphia Edition, has issued a "final countdown" warning. Residents have until February 28 to nominate the local businesses, nonprofits, and landmarks that will be immortalized on the board when it hits shelves later this year.
The "Philly-fication" of a Classic
This isn't just a sticker slap. This is a bespoke version of the world's most famous board game that will completely replace the classic Atlantic City squares with Philadelphia icons.
According to Tim Barney, a representative for Top Trumps, the team is in the "home stretch" of the selection process. They are looking for authenticity—places that scream "Philly" to the people who actually live here, not just the tourists.
They are specifically asking for nominations in these categories:
- Food & Beverage: (Is this where we fight about Pat’s vs. Geno’s?)
- Nonprofits: Local charities that deserve the spotlight.
- Neighborhoods: From Fishtown to South Philly.
- Utilities & Transportation: The El, SEPTA, or maybe PGW?
How to Cast Your Vote
If you want to ensure your favorite hoagie shop or dive bar makes the cut, you have to act fast.
The Deadline: Saturday, February 28, 2026.

When Can You Buy It?
The game is scheduled to debut in November 2026, just in time for the holiday season. It will be sold at local retailers, Barnes & Noble, and Amazon.
Until then, this is your chance to make sure the board reflects the real Philadelphia. Get your nominations in before the window closes forever.
