Monopoly has been an iconic board game for almost 90 years. The property tycoon game has seen players compete, and mostly argue, with each other since 1935 and it’s is still going strong.

The original UK version is set in London and features iconic sites including Mayfair and Regent Street. However the game has since seen cities across the UK and around the world get versions featuring their famous streets and landmarks.

Now Nottingham has landed its own edition, giving would-be property magnates the CHANCE (ho,ho!) to roll dice over some of the city’s famous landmarks.

The new updated edition comes 24 years after city players first ‘Passed GO’ and there’s been a hell of a lot of changes since then. The makers are describing it as ‘a new board for a new generation’.

In the latest edition of the game, Old Market Square de-thrones Nottingham Castle as ‘The Mayfair of Nottingham’.

And another major change sees Nottingham Forest’s City Ground stadium move UP the board to a more expensive spot than its rivals Notts. County.

There’s also Capital One UK landing on a prestigious spot on the board too – as well as THREE city charities appearing in the game.

In all, more than 30 Nottingham landmarks and organisations feature on the board, including: Old Market Square, both football stadiums, Capital One UK, The Robin Hood Statue, Old Market Square, the Goose Fair, Victoria Centre, Nottingham Express Transit (NET), The Lace Market, Nottingham Castle, Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem and lots of other Nottingham A-List landmarks.

The four train stations from the original classic London MONOPOLY take a twist too. They become a travel set, including Nottingham’s tram network.

Three Nottingham charities get to star in the game too. They each get to star on a Community Chest space all on their own. The trio of charities are: When You Wish Upon a Star, Emmanuel House and Brinsley Animal Rescue.

Other twists in this edition see the Chance and Community Chest cards customised, with one of the bespoke cards docking players MONOPOLY money for “hitting a pothole on Mansfield Road’.

“The board is a celebration of everything Nottingham,” says a delighted John Keen-Tomlinson, from the makers of this unique game, Winning Moves UK.  

The board is themed in sets from heritage to sport, shopping to business, education to travel – plus lots more, all to reflect the vibrancy of the city.

The MONOPOLY: Nottingham Edition is available at Waterstones, TGJones and at the Nottingham Tourism Centre – as well as online at Amazon, winningmoves.co.uk and booghe.co.uk
