Queen’s guitarist Brian May has revealed that an edition of Monopoly based on the band’s storied career will be released in May.
“We’ve been very secretly developing Queen Monopoly for over a year,” May announced on his web site. “And it’s due in a shop near you in May. I’m excited — it was a blast working on it — like making an album! We hope you love it!”
The official description of the game explains: “Tour the amazing gig history of Queen, from their very first at Imperial College in 1970 to their last with Freddie Mercury at Knebworth Park in 1986.
“Tour the world with the band and buy gig locations and hit singles. Build staging blocks then upgrade to full productions and watch the rent come pouring in. Take your chances with A Kind of Magic and In the Lap of the Gods cards as you tour the board as one of the iconic Queen bespoke tokens. You can own it all!”
Check out an image of the box and board below, as well as the bespoke tokens – you’ll notice a ‘Hammer To Fall’ as well as a participant in a ‘Bicycle Race’.
