A huge congratulations to the Cotswolds for landing its very own official Monopoly game,’ says Ella Gibbs, custom games executive at Winning Moves UK, who are producing the board under licensing from Hasbro. Representatives from many of the properties featured in the game attended the launch event on Wednesday, including editor of the Cotswold Journal, Stephanie Preece. Cotswold Monopoly was launched at a prestigious unveiling event at Sudeley Castle, Cheltenham by Mr Monopoly . The tokens also get a Cotswold makeover, with a tractor, sheep and hiking boot replacing the top hat, racing car and Scottie dog. Players can enjoy some of the most picturesque sites the UK has to offer, from The Cotswold Way to Broadway Tower, you can own them all!

Or if you fancy a more relaxed stroll, don’t forget to stop off on the garden colour set and explore the grounds of the Batsford and Westonbirt Arboretums, as well as the 18th-century Painswick Rococo Garden. The world’s favourite family board game brings you another exciting edition of MONOPOLY – the Cotswolds! The most expensive property up for grabs is Broadway Tower, while at the other end of the scale is Malmesbury Abbey, filling the space usually occupied by Old Kent Road. In this new Cotswolds version, a gorgeous tractor replaces the racing car token from the classic Monopoly original, following a public vote amongst good humoured Cotswoldians.The game’s mascot, Mr Monopoly, arrived at the Grade I listed building on Wednesday morning aboard a tractor.

warns Ella Gibbs, Custom Games Executive at Winning Moves UK, who are producing the game under licensing from Hasbro.

A tractor and sheep in place of the racing car and dog are hardly going to see players whizzing around the board. Winning Moves UK, who produced the game under license from Hasbro, say the Cotswold edition is going to be popular. The public were invited to send in general nominations and suggestions for tokens, landmarks and organisations to feature in the game.Other squares feature Sudeley Castle, Tewkesbury Abbey and Westonbirt Arboretum, with more than 30 landmarks included. It’s here, the new Cotswolds Edition of the Hasbro Monopoly board game and The Cotswolds Dogs and Cats Home are proudly placed on the Community Chest square just after you pass GO! We recently attended a very special launch, with a very special place of honour- and we can’t wait to tell you all about it.
