Fairmont President's Club - Someone here has the Fairmont Monopoly game?
Hi,
it's not really about the FPC, but more about Fairmont.
My fiancee love the monopoly game (she know how to cheat so good!) and i'm a "fan" of Fairmont.
So, was a big surprise to find yesterday that Fairmont has a Monopoly game!
They launched the monopoly game in 2009 for the 2007 centennial (1907-2007) of the company.
but I cant find it online, nothing on ebay etc. and I called 3 Fairmont store and they of course dont have it anymore!
So, anyone here have this game? ready to sell it?!

I actually saw one of these (brand new still in the wrapper) on eBay a few weeks ago for like only $15. I considered buying it, but didn't as it seemed almost like the regular monopoly except with Fairmont on the money, as well as a couple other small changes. I'd keep trying eBay as it will likely show up again.

Didn't know that the Fairmont version was available..
Not marketed very well.. this is the first I've heard of it..

Its typically available to play at the Hotels if you ask, or at least it was when they released it for the anniversary.

Thanks for the heads up..
I suppose that asking the front desk for the game, will get us access?

I actually saw it in the lounge. Thanks to the great storage properties of my gmail account :D : (back in 2007)

Tweeted Fairmont and this was the response
@eBay might be your best option. Only a limited amount were produced & we no longer have any left in stock. #collectersitem

Perhaps the game wasn't that popular.. and was taken off the shelves..
Didn't even hear of it..
and now the game was so popular that its completely sold out? A marketing scheme I think..
