Being rolled out in just a few days time .. the brand new official MONOPOLY: Hereford Edition game from Winning Moves UK and global play and entertainment brand Hasbro.
The board’s ‘Big Reveal’ is on Thursday 6th October 2022 – when a GIGANTIC life-size replica of the MONOPOLY edition for Hereford will be unfurled in the city as the much-anticipated game is officially launched and released to shops.
The new game will see more than 30 Hereford landmarks and organisations ‘Passing GO’, including several charities.
In this unique edition of the world’s most famous board game ALL the famous multi-coloured MONOPOLY property squares like Mayfair and Park Lane from the classic MONOPOLY London original are represented by Hereford landmarks and organisations. The Community Chest and Chance cards and the money are Hereford themed too.
Hereford landed the honour of its very own customised MONOPOLY game, after seeing off 24 other places across the west of the Midlands to win the accolade of its very own official MONOPOLY board. The announcement was made in February (2022). At the time of the announcement the public was invited to suggest landmarks to feature in the game.
“We have been wonderfully spoilt for choice putting this unique game together,” says Ella Gibbs, Custom Games Executive at Winning Moves UK, who are the makers of the board under official licensing from Hasbro. “Thank you to everyone who sent in suggestions”.
Over the last 25 years Winning Moves UK has produced official versions of MONOPOLY in cities all over the world from Dubai to Sydney .. and now Hereford. The MONOPOLY: Hereford Edition game hits the shops at 10am on Thursday 6th October 2022 and will be available at: Waterstones, WHSmith and The Works – as well as extensively online, including on Amazon and Booghe.
