Product Information

The brand-new official Monopoly: Hereford Edition game will be revealed at the Green Dragon, in Broad Street, as a part of a launch party. We are unbelievably excited about this next step and really hope that you will continue to support what we believe to be the only business of its kind in Hereford and the surrounding areas. The new official Hereford MONOPOLY board is being launched in the cityat 10am on Thursday 6 thOctober– the same morning the game hits the shop, it is announced today.

At today’s announcement that Hereford has landed the honour of its very own customised MONOPOLY game, the public will be invited to suggest landmarks to feature on the board. “The game will reflect the flavour and feel of these suggestions,” adds Ms Gibbs.“The public consultation process will last for three weeks.” 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.The new unique game will see the multi-coloured property squares all themed around Hereford – with Chance and Community Chest cards customised too. Having "desperately searched" for a new venue where they could continue their offering but also expand, they have decided to open Enchanted Tea House – with a twist. 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 money are Hereford themed too.

Enchanted Kingdom, in Maylord Shopping Centre, has known for months that its lease was coming to an end. Running the Cathedral closest in the Mayfair was The Green Dragon Hotel. It gets to land on Park Lane – the second ranked space. And with the Cathedral is in the most expensive set. The Green Dragon Hotel has also landed a double as it is where the official launch of the game is taking place, with The Mayor of Hereford Cllr. Mark Dykes attending. To qualify and be in the running to be selected as one of the three, the charities have to be Hereford focused and be official charities. The train station quartet set that features on the classic original MONOPOLY will be handed over to a travel theme for the new Hereford edition. That’s because Hereford doesn’t have a multitude of main line stations to select from like in the London MONOPOLY original. Executive Principal, Peter Cooper expressed his excitement: “Monopoly is part of many of our childhoods and I am delighted that the Sixth Form College has a prominent position on the board along with other icons such as the Cathedral, the Green Dragon and Castle Green. Only a select group of places worldwide have featured in specialist editions and it is a great honour for Hereford and our community that we have been chosen. The day tasks of studying, teaching, enrichment and socialising must go on but I won’t be surprised to see a few impromptu games breaking out in the near future. Now where is that top hat?”Over the last 25 years, Winning Moves UK and Hasbro have produced official versions of Monopoly in cities all over the world from Dubai to Sydney. The board’s ‘Big Reveal’ is today (6 thOctober 2022), with the game hitting the shops this morning – both in the city and online.
