Manx Monopoly passes GO!

 The Manx version of Monopoly @ Celtic-gold.co.uk

THE brand new Monopoly: Isle of Man Edition will be ready for official launch on October 26.

Winning Moves, manufacturers of this version of the game under license from Hasbro, invited the public earlier this year to make suggestions for inclusion on the board.

Celtic Gold Isle of Man has been producing Celtic, Manx and Archibald Knox Art Nouveau style Jewellery for over 25 years.

In our blog we search for the latest news of our wonderful Manx Heritage to share with you.

These suggestions and nominations will largely shape the final board, likely to feature landmarks such as the Laxey Wheel and Castle Rushen. And while the packaging illustrations give us some clues as to what else will feature, like the Villa Marina and TT Races, the full make-up of the board is being kept under wraps until the day of the launch.

Ideas for Community Chest and Chance cards were also sought, with suggestions such as ‘Saying good morning to the little people as you cross the Fairy Bridge – collect £50’.

Mark Hauser, licensing director at Winning Moves UK, said ex-pats in countries such as Australia and the US, have expressed interest: ‘We have had inquiries and suggestions from many parts of the world.’

He added: ‘We would like to formally thank the great Isle of Man public for all its wonderful input.Without these suggestions and nominations this board could not have been produced.’
