Rapper-Referencing Custom Board Games

Scotiabank Arena Gifts Drake a Custom Monopoly Game

— August 23, 2018 — Art & Design
There are a lot of custom Monopoly games out there and this one-of-a-kind edition pays tribute to one of the most successful rappers in the music industry. Ahead of Drake's home concert in Toronto, the Scotiabank Arena gifts the musician a board game. The custom Monopoly boasts "over 100 references to the rapper’s native city, music, and achievements" — from money featuring his face to property cards with locations in Toronto that are personal to Drake.

The specially made board game features gold dice and pawns that embrace Drake's aesthetic. This includes a playful Nike sneaker, the OVO logo, Jimmy's wheelchair from Degrassi and more. Without a doubt, the custom Monopoly game will capture the attention of fans, however, the board game is designed only for the man it is dedicated to.
