The Monopoly board game, published by Parker Brothers, has a colourful print advertising campaign developed in Germany, using the tag line, “Own it all”.

Four photographs of actual properties, washed in green and red, show 124 Mediterranean Avenue and 74 Baltic Avenue (the two cheapest properties on the board), 807 Boardwalk and 153 Pennsylvania Avenue (two of the most expensive on the board).

The Monopoly “Own It All” campaign was developed at JWT Frankfurt, Germany by art director Petra Sievers.

Pieces can be made in either light or dark woods, and clients often choose to pit different cities against each other.
