Check out a life-sized version of the locally-themed game at its launch on March 6.

Coral Gables is getting its very own board game, and you can get in the game—literally—on its big launch day next month.
Meet Gables-Opoly, a limited-edition spin on the classic property-trading favorite, made in honor of Coral Gables. It officially debuts on March 6 at Giralda LIVE on Giralda Plaza, where you'll be able to step inside a larger-than-life version of the board game and play along in real time.
This isn’t just Monopoly with palm trees slapped on the box. Gables-Opoly is truly inspired by the city. In lieu of jail, you get sent to a Commission Meeting. The railroads? They're replaced with the city’s iconic trolley. Instead of Atlantic City real estate, players move around a board packed with more than 40 local events, city departments and community organizations, plus the more than 30 Coral Gables businesses that helped bring the game to life.
The project is presented by the City of Coral Gables in partnership with the Mark A. Trowbridge Chamber Foundation and was created with local print shop and gift boutique Bliss Imprints & Gifts. Co-owner Eddy Martinez, who spearheaded the concept, says the goal was to capture the small, specific details that give Coral Gables its personality. Rather than generic landmarks, the game features inside jokes and hyper-local pride.
Beyond the novelty factor, Gables-Opoly is also a fundraiser. Proceeds support the Mark A. Trowbridge Chamber Foundation’s work in business and workforce development across the community, with the initiative expected to generate more than $150,000 in long-term funding.
The March 6 launch will be a part of Giralda LIVE’s regular programming, which means live music, flamenco dance, rum tastings and local vendors filling the plaza.
Retailing at $29.95, Gables-Opoly is available for pre-orders at gablesopoly.com, with in-store pickup at Bliss Imprints & Gifts (300 block of Miracle Mile) starting today.
