Advance to GO! The Monopoly Brand introduces Alaska’s
Iditarod® edition showcasing, “The Last Great Race on Earth.” There’s
nothing like the Iditarod. It covers more than 1,150 miles of the roughest,
most beautiful terrain Mother Nature has to offer. Alaska throws jagged
mountain ranges, frozen river, dense forest, desolate tundra and miles of
windswept coast at the mushers and their dog teams to that temperature far
below zero, winds that can cause a complete loss of visibility, the hazards
of overflow, long hours of darkness and treacherous climbs and side hills,
and you have the Iditarod.
Now you can buy, sell and trade to own all of this race’s foremost
properties in this unique edition of the world’s consummate property trading
game.
As you travel around the Monopoly game board, you’ll experience the
incredible beauty and history of the race that pits man against nature – the
Iditarod! Anchorage is the starting line, with a starting point in the
Matanuska Valley at Wasilla. For the first few days of the race, you can see
Mt. Mckinley towering off in the distance. Mush on to the mighty Yukan – a
river highway that takes the arctic tundra. Along the trail, you pass old
famous gold rush towns such as McGrath, Ophir and Ruby. At the end of the
trail, you mush on the coast over frozen Norton Sound to Nome and the Burled
Arch, where the Iditarod trophy awaits the winner and a hero’s welcome is
the custom – whether you win or finish.
