Belfast has only flipping well went and won a space on the new version of Monopoly.  We’re getting the red squares incase you’re wondering.  Great stuff considering all the cities that we beat out!

Belfast will feature on a global edition of the board game Monopoly after it was voted in the top 10 most popular destinations.  Belfast will be placed on the red property spaces after it came ninth in a worldwide crowd-sourced competition marking Monopoly’s 80th birthday.  London, Moscow and Sydney are among other cities on the game. 

For the first time Monopoly fans were invited to select their favourite cities and shape the latest edition of the board game.  Since February 13.4 million votes have been cast from 182 countries worldwide.  The game will be available to the public in the autumn.  Players must visit as many locations as possible, where they will collect passport stamps along the journey.  Competitors will collect cash from visitor fees when opponents land on their locations and the first player to fill their passport wins.
