Straight to Jail: Diadem's New Paddles Make a Playable Monopoly Board

Do not step into the kitchen. Do not collect any DUPR points.

We've seen a lot of pickleball paddle collabs in our day. But none quite like this.

Diadem and Monopoly have joined forces to create a pickleball paddle set that comes together to form a playable version of the beloved board game.

"Each paddle features a section of the iconic Monopoly game, letting you play with a little strategy, a little luck, and a whole lot of attitude," Diadem states on its website.

The collaboration introduces two exclusive products:

• The Monopoly Board 4-paddle Starter Kit
• The Edge BluCore x Monopoly Limited Edition, which includes both the Hybrid 16MM and Pro 14MM paddles.

"Working with Monopoly has been such an exciting way to celebrate a game I grew up loving," said Michael Manglardi, Co-Founder of Diadem Sports.

"Bringing our worlds together feels fun, a little unexpected, and shares exactly the kind of play both our brands are all about."

The collaboration offers something for casual and competitive players alike.

• "The Monopoly Board 4-paddle Starter Kit offers a unique blend of functionality and fun, making it an ideal choice for families and casual players."
• "The Edge BluCore x Monopoly Limited Edition paddles are crafted for serious athletes seeking superior performance and style."

The Start Kit retails for $150 while the Edge BlueCore x Monopoly limited-edition paddle (below) is $250.
