Queens gets the play money

 NY Post

Pass go — and hop on the 7 train?

The classic board game Monopoly is rolling out a new “Queens Edition” with the borough’s iconic landmarks replacing standard Atlantic-city-inspired spaces such as “Boardwalk” and “Park Place.”

Players will be able to buy, sell, and trade famous businesses, non-profits and neighborhoods in the “World’s Borough” when the game hits the shelves Oct. 5, according to Top Trumps USA, which teamed up with Hasbro on the new iteration.

And just like real life, folks from the outer borough can be over-taxed and tossed in jail.

Earlier this year, the game-makers asked Queens residents to vote on which sites they want featured — but the firms haven’t said yet which ones made the cut.

Rockaway Beach, Queens Center Mall and the 7 train are expected to light up the board.

Let's hope that Adams and Trump don't get a Get Out of Jail card, for when they get put away.
