Chester landmark suggestions sought for Monopoly board game

People in Chester are being asked to suggest places of cultural significance

People in a Cheshire city are being asked to nominate iconic locations to feature in a new edition of Monopoly.

Over 30 of Chester's landmarks will be included on the city's edition of the board game.

Yasmin East, of Winning Moves UK, which was developing the game, said the company was looking to include places of "cultural significance".

"We expect to be wonderfully spoilt with choices when putting this special edition board together," Ms East said.

She welcomed suggestions which gave a sense of community, glamour and heritage.

Instead of Mayfair, Park Lane and Old Kent Road, people playing the new Chester edition of the game could be buying or selling the city's cathedral, city walls, or even the racecourse.

The chance and community chest cards, which are a key feature of the game, will also have a local theme.

"We are really looking for anything whether its local business, local attraction or an educational sport," Ms East added.

"Whatever it is you think makes Chester, Chester."

Winning Moves UK, an official Monopoly maker, is producing the edition board game, under license from toy and game company Hasbro.

People have until 4 April to submit their suggestions.
