Ready to roll the dice and claim a spot on the board? Riyadh Monopoly, an exciting new edition of the world\u2019s favourite board game, was officially announced on last night 26 June 2025.
\nDesigned to reflect Riyadh\u2019s rich culture, notable landmarks and dynamic spirit, the iconic board game was unveiled at a lavish ceremony at the state-of-the-art KAFD Conference Centre, located in the prestigious King Abdullah Financial District (KAFD) in the city.
\nAttended by Government, media, tourism, education and cultural representatives, guests heard how the new Riyadh Monopoly edition is more than just a boardgame.
\n\u201cRiyadh Monopoly reflects our goal of making big, strategic projects accessible and engaging to all ages. As the leading destination for international and local businesses in Saudi Arabia, we are creating new opportunities for the next generation to thrive. We want the new generation to recognize the names and places shaping their future. What better way than through play?\u201d said Mazroua Al-Mazroua, Chief Marketing and Experience Officer, at the King Abdullah Financial District Development and Management Company (KAFD DMC).
\nFor 90 years, MONOPOLY has been bringing families together for fun and fierce competition. With 275 million games sold worldwide, the fast-dealing property trading game holds a Guinness World Record, as the best-selling board game in history. Now, Riyadh gets its own edition, to inspire players, young and old, to explore the city\u2019s heritage and vibrant future.
\nWith over half of Riyadh\u2019s residents under the age of 20, Riyadh Monopoly is crafted to unite generations in friendly rivalry, whether strategizing over historic streets or modern skyscrapers.
\n\u201cThis colourful boardgame captures the city\u2019s energy and ambition,\u201d says the KAFD Chief Marketing & Experience Officer at KAFD DMC. \u201cIt\u2019s a fun way for families and friends to connect with Riyadh\u2019s heritage and its exciting future.\u201d
\nRiyadh Monopoly was described as a storytelling platform that acts as both a tribute to the past, and a vision of the future. It engages families, business and cultural organisations, alike, in the Kingdom\u2019s evolving narrative.
\nSharif Hamad bin Majed Alowaishiq, Founder & Chairman of Saudi Youth Society adds, \u201cThis game is a brilliant platform for young Saudis to engage with their culture, while dreaming big, and taking pride in their city. New generations can see the city\u2019s stunning transformation, with important investment in both urban development and cultural preservation.\u201d
\nThe launch signals Saudi Arabia\u2019s emergence as a global destination for leisure, culture and innovation, guests were told. In a celebration of iconic landmarks and modern identity, the Riyadh Monopoly board itself is a cultural artefact, mapping the capital\u2019s evolution from historic quarters to striking skyscrapers, world-class districts, like KAFD, and new urban infrastructure and facilities.
\n\u201cWe\u2019re thrilled to be featured on the board, alongside so many important landmarks\u201d shares Anna Power, Principal at the BISR Diplomatic Quarter campus. \u201cRiyadh Monopoly encourages learning and community spirit, which our students and families embrace. This classic family game will give visitors and residents a new way to look at the city of Riyadh, and the wider Kingdom.\u201d
\nGiven the popularity of MONOPOLY worldwide, it is anticipated this new edition will offer an opportunity to introduce the city, and its most iconic locations, to a wider international audience.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
