How Leeds gave Monopoly to the nation
Leeds is being taken over this summer with the world's first city-wide Monopoly experience - brought to the city by LeedsBID and under license from Hasbro.
It's a unique event celebrating Leeds’ rich gaming heritage - Leeds was home to Waddingtons, Britain’s leading manufacturer of board games and playing cards and from the 1930s. Waddingtons produced the UK version of MONOPOLY and was responsible for the now famous London properties in the game.
Martin from LeedsBID tells us how it works.
