A revised board game celebrates all things Costco

What happens when you mix a beloved board game and your favorite shopping destination? You get Costco Monopoly.

This version of the perennial family favorite was created to share fun facts about Costco’s international locations and coincides with the company’s 40th anniversary. It features the following:

• Custom illustrations that include international warehouses
• Game pieces that include a shopping cart, pallet jack, hot dog and soda, pizza slice, giant teddy bear and gold name badge
• Ancillary businesses such as the Bakery and Gas Station replace utilities and railroads
• Executive Membership and Gold Star Membership cards replace Chance and Community Chest cards
• Costco warehouse “hotels” and Food Court table “houses”
• Custom-designed money and more

Just pick up those dice and advance to hours of fun.—Stephanie E. Ponder
