Two sources have shared that the game will adopt Monopoly's aesthetics and gameplay mechanics, revamping the classic board game format with cryptocurrency elements [1]. However, a spokesperson for Trump's associate, Bill Zanker, emphasized that the Monopoly comparison is mere "hearsay" [2]. That same spokesperson did confirm that a crypto game is in the works and may go live as early as April [2].
