About this deal

Town Deputy Mayor Councillor Lesley Clarke only found out about the plans on Friday and said they “weren’t even allowed to tell family members” of the lovely news. In the Nazi-occupied Netherlands the German authorities saw that the Dutch people were using British or American versions of Monopoly so developed a version with Dutch locations. Writing competition winner Emily was awarded one of the first prints of the Wycombe MONOPOLY (Image: Newsquest) It was announced on 14th February this year that High Wycombe had landed the honour of its very own Monopoly board. At the time, games’ bosses invited the public to suggest landmarks to feature on the board and 8 months later the board is about to hit shelves.

These variants began to be introduced in 1994 and since then more than one hundred licensees have been created. As a child she won many festivals and appeared in shows all over the country before starting work as a production assistant for BBC Radio in London. While working at the stand with High Wycombe BIDCo, Pippa Simpson posed with old Mr MONOPOLY before he had to "go and rest". A performance by the school was included in the programme for the launch of the High Wycombe Monopoly at the Arts Centre. Parker Brothers were acquired by Hasbro in 1991 and they set about seeking input from the general public in varying the game.

Ten years later the school moved to St Augustine’s School in Daws Hill Lane, and Marylyn and Chris set up a new home close by, which also serves as the school’s administration centre. Build houses and hotels on your property and charge other players rent when they land on your locations. Bosses at London-based games company Winning Moves, who are producing the game under licensing from Hasbro, say a variety of factors were used in selecting the winning place. These include: ‘Pride’ ; ‘Beauty’ and ‘Sense of Community’. We couldn’t be more excited to hear this great news for High Wycombe and are delighted to have won the opportunity to be part of the MONOPOLY family.

The High Wycombe edition is expected to appear on shelves in shops in October (2022) in time for Christmas. Hughenden Manor should be a dark blue spot, maybe alongside West Wycombe Park, depending on how far out the boundaries are being set.Marylyn explains the ethos of the school “We regard all the pupils as part of a huge family, many of whom still keep in touch and are still part of the school. One advances players to Hughenden Manor to enjoy ‘the spring blossom’ and the money has been customised as well to include a motif of a chair in recognition of the town once being dubbed ‘The Chair Making Capital of the World’.
