I've heard about version of Monopoly that features Sheffield landmarks/areas on the board instead of London ones. Does anyone know where I could get one from?

Thanks,
Kathryn

are you sure it was not a dream???

Don't think you were dreaming unless we share the same dreams, someone told me about this to, i,m not sure if its just internet based but i will endevour to investigate.

I'm sure I saw one in WH Smiths last christmas- although it may have been Yorkshire as opposed to Sheffield.

Yep there is a Yorkshire version - and I reckon they SHOULD make a Sheffield version too.

Wh Smiths used to sell it...

I am sure I've heard about some company who can make you any board you wish.

They sell those in Debenhams in meadowhell.

You buy a monopoly board and personalise it any way you like.

Isn't there a gangster type monopoly board on sale somewhere tho?

You weren't dreaming, it was called Sheffield Shares, although I do not think it was made by the same company as Monopoly and I'm not sure if it is still on sale anywhere, as it was a few years ago. Sheffield Scene shop might be a good place to ask.

There are cheap copies out at the moment, as DaBouncer described, but you can get a genuine customized Monopoly board from Hasbro via this website:

It's about £100 though! :o

We bought the sheffield shares from a charity shop a couple of xmas' ago.

Think it was barnardos selling them off. HSBC sponsored it or something.

Mmmm.... I wonder what I would customize Old Kent Road to be?

Sheffield forum members sponsor one incoporating the site?

DB I will do that.

I saw the Yorkshire version at WH Smiths in Meadowhall, but was very annoyed when I saw there was only 1 Sheffield street on the board.
