Everyone has played Monopoly, but anyone who loves black history will have a blast playing the black-owned board game Uptown Squares!

Meaning behind the Uptown Squares Board game storefronts

At first look the storefronts on the Uptown Squares Board game may seem meaningless, but the board is actually centered around vital small businesses every community needs to thrive.

We felt it was important to demonstrate the economic and social impact of local small businesses on a community. Which is why our board showcases small businesses that positively provide for the health, welfare, social, educational, spiritual, financial, recreational, leisure and cultural needs of a prosperous community.
