MONOPOLY, the great property trading board game, finds its home in the historical town of Huddersfield: from award-winning Victorian architecture to Iron Age monuments. And now, this is where we come in as game designers are asking for people from the area to help design the landmarks, playing pieces and customised cards that will be featured in the game. The contents, board and box are identical to that of Monopoly sets produced from 1987 to 1993 (apart from the Leeds theme). Contents During World War II Waddingtons helped prisoners of war by hiding escape maps pinned on silk inside the games. The tokens were made out of real gold and real money was put with the monopoly money, once it was found out that German guards were not searching the boxes themselves. This was achieved by MI9 and Waddingtons working together to produce the games and setting up fake aid charites, sending both regular aid and escapee maps hidden in everyday objects such as cards, pens and of course board games.
