Transylvania University occasionally shows up in a \u201cJeopardy!\u201d answer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now it\u2019s on a Monopoly board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The school joins other well-known sites around town as properties in MONOPOLY: Lexington Edition, which was unveiled this morning at Keeneland. Sanctioned by Hasbro, the Top Trumps USA game is available in retail stores, including the Transylvania bookstore, and online<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“What an honor for Lexington to have its own Monopoly game spotlighting so many of our favorite places,” Mayor Linda Gorton said. “This is a great way to celebrate our hometown.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The game’s box and board feature thoroughbred farms and racing as well as the Lexington skyline. This, along with the individual properties, gives players a feel for what the city is like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Within this game, you will see why it’s a mecca for artists, athletes, intellectuals and foodies, and holds a vibrant and unique culture that’s been centuries in the making,” according to Top Trumps USA. \u201cIt also features customized Community Chest and Chance playing cards to ensure the board is a historic and enduring tribute to one of the most popular destinations in the central U.S.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
