The City of Coral Gables has launched a new limited-edition board game called Gables-Opoly that reimagines classic gameplay with distinctly Coral Gables references. The game, created in collaboration with local business Bliss Imprints & Gifts, features over 40 local events, departments, and community organizations, as well as more than 30 local businesses that supported its production. Proceeds from the game will benefit the Mark A. Trowbridge Chamber Foundation and its work supporting local businesses and workforce development programs.

Why it matters

In an era of increasing homogenization, the game represents a grassroots effort to preserve the unique local flavor of Coral Gables and support its small businesses and community programs.

The details

The board features over 40 local events, departments, and community organizations, as well as more than 30 local businesses that supported the game's production. Proceeds from the game's sales will benefit the Mark A. Trowbridge Chamber Foundation and its work supporting local business and workforce development programs.
