Washington [US], October 8 (ANI): ‘Schitt’s Creek’ fans have a reason to rejoice as they will soon be able to buy up the Rosebud Hotel. A ‘Schitt’s Creek’-inspired Monopoly game is coming out soon.
The Emmy-winning sitcom’s Instagram account unveiled on Thursday that a new edition of Monopoly, the timeless Hasbro board game, will be released branded with the show’s characters.
The gallery of pictures in the post led with an image of Schitt’s Creek matriarch Moira Rose, played by Emmy Award winner Catherine O’Hara, uttering the phrase “They would have a virtual monopoly on this town.”
Other images showed the new edition’s board and colourful play money, with another showing the unique game pieces, including Moira’s rounded sunglasses and a Rosebud motel room key.
