Clifton College – Monopoly Bristol Edition

Pass GO and collect the brand-new official MONOPOLY: Bristol Edition game, which has been launched today.

The board showcases the great and good of Bristol – from the Clifton Suspension Bridge to the University.

And we get to star in it too! Clifton College features on a green square.

“We have been wonderfully spoiled with choices when putting this game together,” says John Keen-Tomlinson at Winning Moves UK, who is producing the board, under license from Hasbro, a leading toy and game company.

The game is themed in sets – from shopping to leisure, entertainment to education – and more.

The Clifton Suspension Bridge gets to land on the top ‘Mayfair’ spot from the classic MONOPOLY original, whilst College Green takes up occupancy on ‘Old Kent Road’ at the other end of the board. Inbetween are Brunel’s SS Great Britain, the University of Bristol, Bristol Airport, OVO, Bristol Pride Festival, Hargreaves Lansdown – and around 25 other top Bristol landmarks and organisations.

Three charities also get to ‘Pass GO’, following a public vote. They are: The Grand Appeal, Bristol Animal Rescue Centre and Empire Fighting Chance.

Marvin Rees, the Mayor of Bristol – who encouraged Bristolians to suggest their favourite landmarks and charities to feature on the board when the announcement of the new game was made earlier in the year – says:

“There’s been such enthusiasm for a new Bristol Edition of MONOPOLY, celebrating our great city. Like many Bristolians, I’m excited to see which locations the MONOPOLY team have picked to be on the board!”
