EAST HAMPTON, NY — Hamptons Monopoly fans now have a game to call their own: Top Trumps USA, the American division of Winning Moves International, released MONOPOLY The Hamptons Edition, under license from Hasbro, on Tuesday.

MONOPOLY The Hamptons Edition replaces the perennial board game's famous Atlantic City squares, from Boardwalk to Park Place, with much-loved Hamptons cultural sites, historic landmarks, and time-honored businesses, alongside a customized Community Chest and Chance playing cards.

Last year, the public had the chance to weigh in on what famous locales and businesses they'd like to see featured on the board.

The full game includes sites that showcase the East End's natural beauty and geography, including Sag Harbor sand dunes, Shadmoor State Park, East Hampton's Main Beach, Cooper's Beach, Atlantic Avenue Beach, the Hallock State Park Reserve, the Montauk boardwalk trail and Shelter Island.

Also spotlighted are non-profits including East End Hospice and Hamptons United; cultural destinations such as Bridge Gardens and Main Street in Southampton; and notable historical spots such as Camp Hero, Agawam Park's war memorial, the Cedar Point Lighthouse, Montauk Lighthouse, and the Hook Windmill.

Local businesses and shops also got a nod, including Homeport Montauk, The Roundtree, Amagansett, the Southampton Inn, Stevenson's Toys, Hampton Chutney and Propane Depot; tranportation options including the Hampton Jitney Hampton Ambassador, Montauk Airport and the Long Island Rail Road are also represented.

"We're thrilled to kick off summer with the launch of MONOPOLY The Hamptons Edition and to celebrate one of New York's most beloved, culturally rich and geographically beautiful regions. We've spent months creating a portrayal of the area's dynamic communities that we hope locals and visitors alike will enjoy for years to come," Dennis Gavaghen, a representative from Top Trumps USA, said. "We've incorporated important feedback from locals to truly make this a fun and engaging game for Hamptonites and beyond."

MONOPOLY The Hamptons Edition is available for $39.95 on Amazon and at CVS and by clicking here.

The game is also for sale in participating Ace Hardware locations and local East End stores including Lynne's Cards and Gifts, Sugar Daddy's Toy Store, Stevenson's Toys, Southampton Books, BookHampton, The Wharf Shop, Sag Harbor Variety, Captain Kids / Homeport, The Roundtree, Amagansett, True Value, Mary Arnold Toys, Funky Monkey Toys, Eastport Little Secret, the Long Island Aquarium and more.
