Whether you’re a fan of the board game or not, it’s still pretty nifty to know the Old Pueblo is getting its very own version of Monopoly. It’s not going to be released until March 2024 but Top Trumps USA, which recently unveiled its Scottsdale-theme game, wants your input on which local businesses appear on the board.
“Tucson encompasses the best of what the desert has to offer, from scenic hikes to bustling nightlife to Old West history,” said Jennifer Tripsea of Top Trumps USA. “Our goal is to capture everything that makes Tucson a beloved destination and unique place to live in one game.”
The brand-new Tucson edition of the party game will be based entirely on businesses, non-profits, and destinations that make this desert retreat unique — including local restaurants.
Therefore, the team behind the game is looking for your suggestions as to what to add to the game. Everyone has until Monday, July 31 to email tucson@toptrumps.com to submit your favorite restaurant (and other businesses).
“It’s really important to us that we hear from the community,” said Tripsea.
Again, the new board game is expected to hit shelves in March 2024. The company says those interested will be able to find it in stores and online at retail partners, including CVS, Amazon, and select local Tucson retailers.
So, email tucson@toptrumps.com now to submit your favorite restaurant.

More about MattAt a very young age, Matt Sterner was gifted with the artistic ability to masterfully roll a burrito to the highest of standards, but the wrapped medley of delicious innards wasn’t his first love. Matt’s first true love was a combination of reading, writing, and creating. He grew up reading comics, the ingredients list of his shampoo and conditioner bottles, choose-your-own-adventure books, and the Scrabble dictionary — something he found useful when challenging his grandmother to a game.
He attended college at New Mexico State University and graduated with a degree in Digital Filmmaking. One of his favorite classes was screenwriting because he became responsible for the story’s birth before it came to life on-screen. After school, Matt took on numerous positions at a local television station in Tucson. From dealing out stories about heartbreak to producing “fluffier” content for a lifestyle broadcast, he learned what it takes to adapt to the many emotions the world of media can stir. Since 2017, Matt has dabbled in the culinary world of Tucson as well as San Diego, California from time to time.
If you’re in the mood for strange stories, head over to his pride and joy, wonkytimes.com. And in case you’re curious — yes, after all of this time, he still manages to roll a killer burrito.
