KCCI viewers noticed a mistake recently while playing “Monopoly, Here & Now.”Karina Carreras and Brookley Lynde noticed the game’s description of Des Moines placed the city in the state of Ohio.“As we were playing a good game of Monopoly I came to notice while I was reading the instructions that they had put in false information regarding Des Moines, Iowa. Pictures are attached. They had said we were located in Ohio. How rude!! P.S. Hasbro should apologize.”The game describes Des Moines as “Fairs and farmers’ markets, miles of trails, and one all-butter cow statue: this bustling Ohio city is also famed for its cornfields and caucuses.”That seems like a fairly accurate description, geography aside.
