THE MONOPOLY: WARRINGTON EDITION GAME... and we’re on the board!

Warrington has landed the honour of its very own edition of the world’s most famous board game, MONOPOLY: Warrington Edition.

On the 25^th October, 2022 Warrington became the very FIRST place in Cheshire to get its own board after seeing off 19 other locations across the county.

ALL the famous multi-coloured MONOPOLY property squares like Mayfair and Park Lane from the classic MONOPOLY London original are represented by Warrington landmarks and organisations.. and we get to feature too!

We appear on the board (between Park Lane and Mayfair), on the reverse of all the property cars and on the front of the box!

The brand new MONOPOLY: Warrington Edition game landmarks and features include:     :

• FOODBANK NEXT DOOR TO ‘OLD KENT ROAD’:  Next door to ‘Old Kent Road’ (the board’s most affordable square) on a Community Chest space is Warrington Foodbank, one of several charities to be included and honoured within the game. At the other end of the board The Golden Gates is unveiled as the ‘Mayfair of Warrington’.

• FIDDLERS FERRY BECOMES WARRINGTON’S ELECTRIC COMPANY: The famous ‘Electric Company’ square is represented by Fiddlers Ferry Power Station.  It forms one half of a Utility Set, with Lymm Dam featured on the Water Works square.
• 30+ LANDMARKS ‘PASS GO’!:  Other Warrington landmarks featuring include: The Transporter Bridge, Warrington Wolves, Walton Hall and Gardens, the Warrington Museum & Art Gallery, Victoria Park and The Pink Eye (on a pink square – of course!).

”We have been wonderfully spoilt for choice putting this unique game together,” says Jennifer Lau, Custom Games Executive at Winning Moves UK. “It’s a board celebrating Warrington’s past and present and is very much reflective of the times.”

Over the last 25 years Winning Moves UK and Hasbro have produced official version of MONOPOLY in places all over the world from Sydney to Dubai .. and now Warrington.

The MONOPOLY: Warrington Edition game is available at Waterstones, WH Smith and extensively online, including on Amazon and Booghe.

MONOPOLY first hit shelves in 1935 with the Racecar, Thimble, Boot, Top Hat, and Battleship among the original set of MONOPOLY tokens while the Scottie Dog and Wheelbarrow were added in the early 1950s. Although the brand has evolved over the past 87 years, the gameplay and iconography of the classic MONOPOLY game has remained unchanged, making it a timeless classic sure to be enjoyed by future generations. Today, MONOPOLY is the world’s favourite family game brand and is enjoyed by more than one billion players in 114 countries across the globe.
