Leeds Monopoly Board Game

Product Information

Finding four train stations as in the Monopoly original proved a challenge. As did locating Maidstone’s Old Kent Road equivalent. The public suggested Maidstone landmarks and charities to be featured in the new game But now, manufacturers Winning Moves UK have said that the Yorkshire Dales is getting it’s own board and we are absolutely buzzing about it. During World War II Waddingtons helped prisoners of war by hiding escape maps pinned on silk inside the games. The tokens were made out of real gold and real money was put with the monopoly money, once it was found out that German guards were not searching the boxes themselves. This was achieved by MI9 and Waddingtons working together to produce the games and setting up fake aid charites, sending both regular aid and escapee maps hidden in everyday objects such as cards, pens and of course board games. Whatman Park teams is also in the brown set, which are the game’s most affordable squares. Mote Park will join Leeds Castle in the top ranking set, so is the equivalent of Park Lane from the game’s London original.

The pencil drawing was found many years later by a man called Charles Darrow, at the home of one of his friends. From this, he then created a game that he named Monopoly, before selling the game on to the publisher Parker Brothers. This game became a success and was played in a large amount of households. When asked in an interview for Germantown Bulletin “how he had managed to invent Monopoly out of thin air – a seeming slight of hand that had brought joy into so many households” he replyed “It’s a freak… Entirely unexpected and illogical”. The original British game is of course based on the city of London, with famous landmarks including Mayfair, Park Lane, Picadilly and Regent Street. The slightly bizarre choice of London streets and the small ‘mistakes’ above were made when Victor Watson, an employee of Waddingtons, did a ‘taxi dash’ around London to find iconic streets for the British version of the board game. This fast paced city is complimented by stunning local countryside, including the beautiful Yorkshire Dales and culture abound with? wide array of restaurants, bars, clubs, West Yorkshire Playhouse, Opera North and Northern Ballet.
