There are plenty of ways to show off your status as a Costco superfan who loves to save money shopping, such as a Kirkland Signature hoodie or sweatpants.

But now you have a new way to show off your love for Costco with the Costco Monopoly game. Monopoly fans can also get excited about getting a different edition of the board game that combines their love of Monopoly with their favorite warehouse retailer.

What can you expect from the new Costco board game? Here are a few things to keep an eye out for when you get your own Costco Monopoly game.

Earn 2% cash rewards at grocery stores and Costco

The Wells Fargo Active Cash® Card(Rates and fees) is a powerful rewards card that allows you to earn unlimited 2% cash rewards on purchases — including on groceries, even at warehouse stores like Costco.

New cardholders can also earn a one-time cash rewards bonus — $200 cash rewards bonus after spending $500 in purchases in the first 3 months!

If you’re looking for a powerful rewards card that offers an extended intro APR period, look no further, the Wells Fargo Active Cash® Card checks that box too!

This card also offers an intro APR of 0% for 12 months from account opening on purchases and qualifying balance transfers (then 19.74%, 24.74%, or 29.74% Variable). Which is great for someone who wants a break from high interest rates, while still earning rewards.

The best part? There's no annual fee.

You can buy Costco Monopoly at Costco

Costco Monopoly is the perfect item to check for the next time you go to your local Costco, especially if you’re starting holiday shopping now for your favorite Costco fan.

But don’t worry if you can’t find it on a Costco shelf. You can also order the board game from Costco’s website for $44.99, although it may be cheaper in-store.

Costco token pieces

Forget the car, top hat, or wheelbarrow. Costco has its own unique Monopoly pieces for you to choose from.

Grab a pizza slice, shopping cart, pallet jack, Costco employee badge, or a mini version of Costco’s iconic big bear to make your way around the board. The tokens also feature Costco’s signature hot dog and a drink you can pick up at the food court for only $1.50.

Oversized board

The standard Monopoly board is a square 20 inches by 20 inches. But just like its stores, Costco decided to go bigger with its Monopoly board.

Make sure you have extra room on your gaming table for the Costco version, which comes in at 22 inches by 22 inches to give you and your fellow Costco fans extra room to play.

Instead of picking up property like Pennsylvania Avenue to Park Place, each property box is an illustration of a city with a Costco location.

Check out the spots for places like Stockholm, Seoul, San Diego, and Seattle near Costco’s company headquarters in Washington state.

Costco pieces for building

You may be used to the typical Monopoly board that allows you to build houses and hotels on your properties to earn more money. But Costco isn’t a houses and hotels kind of company.

Instead, you can put little red picnic tables on your properties to start collecting rent from your opponents, or you can upgrade to blue warehouses and collect even more cash.

Chance cards that look like Costco cards

Chance cards can give you a good or bad break when you’re playing a regular Monopoly game.

But in Costco Monopoly, those basic cards are replaced by cards that look like Costco’s Gold Star membership and Executive membership cards. They also sit on the game board in cute mini pallets shaped like the cards.

Well-researched artwork

Chuck Dillon, who did the art for the Costco Monopoly board, said he researched different Costco locations to make sure he got them right for the art on the board.

Dillon took more than a year to complete the project for the Costco board, with plenty of research and drawing before the final product was ready for Costco fans.

Over 200 characters in the center of the board

One of the things Dillon worked hard on was the illustration in the center of the board that shows off all kinds of people shopping at Costco.

There are more than 200 characters in that center square you can check out while you’re playing. Find your favorite shopper or spot the family eating at the iconic red picnic tables in the food court.

Red and blue dice

Costco decided to swap the basic black and white dice for something much more colorful to make it look even more like a Costco board game.

The boring dice have been replaced by blue and red dice that perfectly match Costco’s logo. It’s a little detail that super fans are sure to enjoy.

Get a protection plan on all your appliances

Did you know if your air conditioner stops working, your homeowner’s insurance won’t cover it? Same with plumbing, electrical issues, appliances, and more.

Whether or not you’re a new homeowner, a home warranty from Choice Home Warranty could pick up the slack where insurance falls short and protect you against surprise expenses. If a covered system in your home breaks, you can call their hotline 24/7 to get it repaired.
