Custom Monopoly Appraisal

Denton-Opoly Board Game

This item is a factory-sealed board game titled "Denton-Opoly." The game is presented in a rectangular cardboard box, typical for board games, and appears to be wrapped in its original clear plastic shrink wrap, indicating it is new or in pristine, unopened condition. The top of the box features the game's title prominently in a stylized font, "Denton-Opoly," with a subtitle that reads, "A FUN GAME CELEBRATING DENTON, TEXAS!" The color scheme for the title uses red, blue, and white with a starry motif. The box art depicts various squares reminiscent of a classic real-estate trading game, customized with Denton-specific landmarks or themes. Observable squares include "CONTINGENCY" (with an orange exclamation mark and 'DRAW A CARD' instruction), "NORTH TEXAS FAIR & RODEO" (cost $250, with an image of a Ferris wheel), "LOCUST STREET" (cost $150, with a silhouette of a bull rider), "WATER WORKS PARK" (cost $150, with an image of a colorful water slide), and a 'GO DENTON!' square with an arrow, similar to the 'GO' square in Monopoly. Two white dice with black pips are also visible in the artwork. The overall aesthetic suggests a locally themed version of the popular Monopoly game. The box edges appear crisp and the colors vibrant, showing no visible signs of wear, dents, tears, or discoloration due to being sealed. The craftsmanship appears to be standard for mass-produced board games, with good quality printing and sturdy packaging. The estimated age would be contemporary, likely produced in the late 20th or 21st century given its theme and appearance, perhaps as a novelty or souvenir item for the city of Denton, Texas.
