Nashvillians can pass go and collect $200 as a Monopoly game based on the city will release this fall.

The Nashville edition will see locally themed squares replace the classic Boardwalk and Park Place from the original game.

And Music City can have its input on which locations are featured in the game. Now through March 1, email Nashville@toptrumps.com with your suggestions.

There will be customized Community Chest and Chance cards where players will win or lose money in creative ways or hope for a get-out-of-jail-free card.

A few of the squares will be dedicated to iconic Nashville landmarks making the game a true Nashville experience.

Will the game trade in the race car for a music note? Maybe a boot or cowboy hat as game pieces? And what becomes of the classic thimble? Players can find out when the game is released in October.

"We aim to ensure that Monopoly: Nashville is an accurate portrayal of what locals love about their cities, so we would love for everyone to get on board and send us their recommendations," Brooke Gorman, a Top Trumps representative said in a statement. "Anything and everything is up for consideration – The Grand Ole Opry, the Tennessee Titans, Ryman Auditorium, Lower Broad and Tootsies Orchid Lounge, Hattie B’s Hot Chicken, Frist Art Museum, The Parthenon, Cheekwood Botanical Gardens."
