Here for Easter... The brand new MONOPOLY Eryri edition game
A brand-new official MONOPOLY: Eryri Edition - featuring the great and good of Eryri, including Away Resorts’ very own Barmouth Bay Holiday Park! - has been launched.
21 March 2024
The game sees bespoke property spaces and cards. And we get to feature on a yellow space on the board, which hit the shops this morning (21st March 2024).
Winning Moves UK - an official MONOPOLY maker - has produced the brand-new MONOPOLY: Eryri Edition board game, under license from Hasbro, a leading toy and game company. Winning Moves UK makes MONOPOLY editions for places all over the world, including high-profile popular tourist places, such as Palm Beach, Dubai and The Hamptons.
When news of the game was announced last year, the public was invited to suggest landmarks and organisations to be featured in the game. Landing on ‘Mayfair,’ the game’s top-ranking space, is Yr Wyddfa, the highest mountain in Wales and England, and a tourist magnet for North Wales, attracting millions of visitors each year.
At the other end of the board, ‘Old Kent Road’ - the game’s most affordable square - is Ty Hyll, on account of it being a very high-profile historic landmark according to Welsh legend (reputedly dating back to the 15th century). Its English meaning is: ‘The Ugly House.’
In between are leading Eryri landmarks and organisations including Portmeirion Village, Harlech Castle (featuring in a set of three different castles) and the world’s smallest house. In all, 30+ Eryri landmarks and organisations feature in the game.
“The response from the public to MONOPOLY: Eryri Edition has been overwhelming,” says Yasmin East, Custom Games Executive at Winning Moves UK. “A very big thank you to everyone who sent in nominations and congratulations to everyone featured in the game.”
In addition to the bespoke squares, all of the tokens are customised, replacing the traditional MONOPOLY counters with: a Carneddau pony, a campervan, a sleeping dragon, hiking boots, a castle tower, and a train car. The Chance and Community Chest cards are bespoke as well. One card says, ‘You have won second prize in a Sheepdog trialling contest,’ replacing the ‘beauty contest’ card from the classic MONOPOLY original. Whilst another penalises players, saying: ‘You’ve been caught wild camping in the National Park!’
The MONOPOLY: Eryri Edition is available to purchase now at Waterstones, Yesteryear Toy Shop and extensively online, including at Booghe.co.uk and Amazon.co.uk
