What is the game UPTOWN SQUARES about?

UPTOWN SQUARES is a fun and educational board game that celebrates Black history, finances, money management, and entrepreneurship. It is similar to Monopoly but with a unique twist!

In this game, players buy stores, houses, and churches like in Monopoly, but they also have the opportunity to earn money by answering trivia questions related to Black history. With each correct answer, players earn cash and gain a deeper understanding of the important contributions that Black people have made throughout history. But that's not all – our board game also teaches players important financial and entrepreneurial skills. Players must manage their money wisely and make strategic investments in order to win the game. It's a great way to teach financial literacy and money management in a fun and engaging way.

It teaches:

Black History

When a player lands on an Uptown Squares Check Card, the player must correctly answer the Black History trivia question and the player will collect the money shown on the card.

Money Management

When the player stops on an Uptown Squares BankCard, the player will either collect the amount of money on the BankCard or pay the required fees, taxes, or penalties.
