There have been a range of "localised" Monopoly versions issued over the years.

A Swindon version was launched at the STEAM Museum today.   It includes Swindon Railway station among the other local landmarks.

The Chance and Community Chess cards have also had a makeover - one now reads ^You Fall Asleep on the Train and End Up in Bristol^  Grin

Go to Melksham.  Go directly to Melksham.  Do not pass Go, do not collect ^200.  Do not expect to be able to get a train back.

Although if you wait to December you will have a large choice of trains back.

You draw a Community Chest: Pay a ^20 Penalty Fare, or take a 'Chance'.
You then draw a Chance: Penalty Fare cancelled. Prosecuted instead. Pay ^200
