JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — The City of Jacksonville’s Parks, Recreation and Community Services Department will be hosting its 3rd annual MONOPOLY Tournament on May 31st, this time at the Main Library Downtown.

The game will be played a little differently: Instead of going until everyone else is bankrupt, rounds will be 75 minutes long.
The Official Hasbro-recognized MONOPOLY tourney is increasing the player field from 72 players to 84 this year, who will compete in two qualifying rounds. The top 16 players will advance to the Semifinal, and the top four players will advance to the Championship.
