Saudi Arabia has launched its very first special edition of the world-famous board game Monopoly -Riyadh Monopoly. Unveiled recently at the cutting-edge King Abdullah Financial District (KAFD) Conference Centre in Riyadh, this unique version celebrates the city’s culture, landmarks, and growth. The game will be available nationwide starting September 2025.
Riyadh Monopoly is licensed by Hasbro and developed by KEAD Entertainment. It lets players buy and trade iconic places across Riyadh. From the financial hub of KAFD Financial Plaza and vibrant Souk Al Zal to the luxurious Ritz-Carlton Hotel and the Diplomatic Quarter, every property represents a real piece of the city.
This edition reflects Riyadh’s rapid modernization while honoring its rich heritage. The game combines entertainment with education, inviting players to explore Riyadh’s neighborhoods, cultural landmarks, and economic centers.
