Think iconic landmarks like Dudley Castle and the Titanic Anchor, which have been made by local company Thomas Dudley, we are extremely proud to add this unique and special touch to our game. Infamous landmarks around the Borough have been cast into special edition playing pieces which are also available. The area is internationally renowned for glass making so it absolutely had to feature on the centre alongside a famous Black Country colloquialism.”
The design is based around the Black Country flag designed by Gracie Sheppard, with images synonymous to the Black Country overlaying it. The centre of the board has a nod to the rich history of the area, but Beth explains this was no easy task either: “As the Black Country is so rich in history it was essential for me that some elements of this were included in the centre of the game. The creation of the game has been a lengthy process and making sure that we really captured the essence of such an iconic area on just a 20″ x 20″ board was no easy task. The vibrancy and community spirit that is so closely associated with the Black Country are captured in the game alongside the unique dialect and unmistakable landmarks which make the area instantly recognizable.Įverything down to the Community Chest and Chance cards have been altered to fit with our Black Country theme! The game will take you round the Wrekin, up the cut and down the old ‘oss road. Have you ever wanted to own The Crooked House or live in Dudley Castle? Well now is your chance with Black Country Monopoly. At Mary Stevens Hospice we are proud to be part of the Black Country and the wonderful community around us, therefore, it felt only right that we created our game to celebrate this. Our limited edition Monopoly, created in partnership with Hasbro is one of the three limited edition boards created each year.
