The Cobourg-Opoly board game, based on the best-selling game of all-time, Monopoly, is now available.
As more of us were asked to stay home this year, the dust was wiped from our classic board games and families hunkered down for family time.
That was Jean Paul Teskey, who is the senior vice-president of Outset Media and one of the people behind the “Opoly” games coming out named after small and mid-sized communities across Canada.
The game is available at Walmart or Walmart.ca.
Teskey says Walmart approached Outset Media knowing they had rights to the Monopoly game.
He says they started with communities like Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver and Calgary, but sales jumped when smaller municipalities were featured.
Cobourg was chosen out of the hundreds of towns because of our size and unique beach community.
Teskey lets us in of some of the landmarks you will take notice of in the Cobourg-Opoly game.
Teskey ends by saying that Outset Media is ecstatic that the citizens of Cobourg have chosen to welcome them into their homes this summer and include them in weekly game nights with friends and family.
