It was announced on 14th February this year that High Wycombe had landed the honour of its very own Monopoly board. At the time, games’ bosses invited the public to suggest landmarks to feature on the board and 8 months later the board is about to hit shelves.
In this edition, all the famous multi-coloured Monopoly property squares like Mayfair and Park Lane from the classic Monopoly London original are represented by High Wycombe landmarks and organisations.
We have been wonderfully spoilt for choice putting this game together
Ella Gibbs, Custom Games Executive at Winning Moves UK
The makers of the game under licence from Hasbro Winning Moves said the edition celebrates High Wycombe’s past and present
We are delighted to have been chosen to appear in this special edition Monopoly game
