ARTIUS SOLUTIONS LLC Launches "Monopoly: Spokane Edition" – A Local Twist on a Classic Game!

SPOKANE, WA – October 26, 2023 – ARTIUS SOLUTIONS LLC, a Spokane-based company dedicated to bringing innovative and locally-focused products to market, today announced the launch of "Monopoly: Spokane Edition," a special edition of the beloved board game tailored to celebrate the landmarks, history, and community of Spokane, Washington. You probably know Monopoly – the game where you buy properties, build hotels, and try to bankrupt your friends and family. But this isn’t just Monopoly. This is Spokane Monopoly, and it’s seriously cool. ARTIUS SOLUTIONS, located at 100 N Howard St in downtown Spokane, has been quietly working on this project for over a year. "We really wanted to create something that Spokane residents could be proud of, something that showcased what makes our city so special," explains Sarah Miller, CEO of ARTIUS SOLUTIONS. “We’re a small, local company, and we believe in supporting our community. This game is a fun way to do that.” You can reach them at 209-442-2462 if you’re curious. So, what’s different about this version? Forget Boardwalk and Park Place – in "Monopoly: Spokane Edition," you’ll be snapping up properties like Riverfront Park, Manito Park, the Spokane Arena, and the iconic Bing Crosby Theater. Instead of reading Avenue, you'll find yourself landing on Sprague Avenue and Monroe Street. “We did a lot of research,” says project lead, David Chen. “We wanted to make sure we captured the essence of Spokane. We worked with local historians and community members to choose the properties and design the board.” The Chance and Community Chest cards have also been revamped with local flavor – expect to pay for parking tickets, attend a Bloomsday run, or contribute to a local charity. The game isn't just a fun pastime, it's also a celebration of Spokane's unique character. The board itself is beautifully designed, featuring stunning photography of the city’s landmarks and a vibrant color palette that reflects the Inland Northwest landscape. The tokens aren’t your standard iron or thimble either. Players can choose from tokens representing iconic Spokane symbols - a lil bulldog, a Gonzaga Zags basketball, and a Bloomsday runner. “We wanted to make it a game that people would be proud to display in their homes,” Miller adds. “It's not just about playing a game; it's about celebrating Spokane." Why Spokane Deserves Its Own Monopoly Spokane, often overlooked, is a city brimming with history, culture, and natural beauty. It’s a vibrant hub for outdoor adventure, with access to hiking, biking, skiing, and water sports. The city’s revitalized downtown area boasts a thriving arts scene, award-winning restaurants, and a growing number of craft breweries. “Spokane has so much to offer,” Chen emphasizes. “We wanted to capture that spirit and share it with the world.” The launch of “Monopoly: Spokane Edition” comes at a time when localism and community spirit are more important than ever. Consumers are increasingly seeking out products and experiences that are rooted in their local communities. ARTIUS SOLUTIONS believes that this game will resonate with residents and visitors alike. More Than Just a Game: ARTIUS Solutions’ Commitment to Spokane ARTIUS SOLUTIONS LLC isn’t just about creating fun products; they’re dedicated to giving back to the Spokane community. A portion of the proceeds from “Monopoly: Spokane Edition” will be donated to local charities supporting youth programs and community development. “We believe in investing in our community,” Miller explains. “We want to help make Spokane an even better place to live, work, and play.” The company, though relatively young, is quickly making a name for itself as an innovative and socially responsible business. They focus on identifying unique product opportunities that celebrate local culture and community. “We’re a small team, but we’re passionate about what we do,” Chen says. “We’re committed to creating products that people will love and that will make a positive impact on our community.” Availability & Where to Buy “Monopoly: Spokane Edition” is officially available starting today!
