Trump unveils:
'Trump — The Game' 

NEW YORK -- Deal-making developer Donald Trump has found something else to put his name on: a new board game similar to what else — Monopoly.

Trump appeared Tuesday with representatives of Milton Bradley Co, at a Trump Tower news conference to unveil Trump — The Game". 

"Trump" is somewhat like Parker Bros.'s Monopoly in that the player with the most money wins. But the Trump "T" has replaced Monopoly game pieces like the shoe, the thimble and the iron,, and the highest Trump denomination is $100 million instead of $500. 

And unlike Monopoly, the new game features pictures of Trump the man on the money, game board, playing cards and the box.

"It's a much more sophisticated game than Monopoly," Trump said. "I like to play Monopoly — I've played it all my life, in many forms".

Capitalists ages 12 and older are invited to "share in the exciting high-stakes risk-taking I get to do every day. ... If you are clever, aggressive and cut the best deals, you can earn millions ...even billions of dollars. Just remember. Play to win or not at all!"

Trump said his proceeds from the $25 game, which" will hit toy-store shelves this spring will go to causes like cerebral palsy, AIDS and homeless.
