It’s the world’s favourite family board game which last month had been celebrating its’ 80th anniversary. Now the secrets of how to break the Monopoly bank are laid bare by the company that has produced the official Exeter version of the board.

And he has adapted it to the official Exeter version which is going to be played by thousands of families over this festive period. Peter Griffin is a Cambridge University graduate and MONOPOLY...
The board – launched less than three weeks ago ago – is proving “hot property”, the makers said today with a THIRD print run due to get underway later this week.

Dan Taylor, from the board’s makers Winning, Moves says: “We are now on our second print-run and a third one is poised.” Mr Taylor, Monopoly Development Director for Winning Moves UK - makers of the board under license from Hasbro - added: “The popularity of the board...

It has been described as Britain’s poshest city – too upmarket to have an Old Kent Road equivalent - so now Monopoly makers are offering one Exeter person the chance to be treated “all posh” for a day.
The official Monopoly board for Exeter will be launched at a city ceremony on Wednesday 7 October, and as part of the celebrations the board’s makers are on the lookout for a ‘VIP’ to launch the board.... Very Important Posh-person that is!
Earlier in the year it was reported in the national and regional media how Exeter could be too well-heeled to have an Old Kent Road...
Exeter City FC has been voted to land on ‘Old Kent Road’ on a new official MONOPOLY board for Devon’s capital city. The public has been polling for landmarks to fill the board, however it has been widely reported - including in the UK media and on national TV - that Exeter could perhaps be TOO POSH to have its own Old Kent Road equivalent. And since these recent reports the public has nominated the Grecians to land on the infamous MONOPOLY location, which sits at the foot of the board. One of these suggestions has been left on a forum in Exeter’s rival city, Plymouth. But some, confirm the...

An Exeter man will take part in a brand new ITV quiz show today.
Presented by Gethin Jones, The 21St Question is a bold new ITV quiz show featuring exactly 21 questions.
The game sees 11 contestants compete in “winner stays on” rounds which test the strategy and wits of players to the limit. The aim? To get onto the power spot and control the game. However, only one of the players will successfully fend off all the competition, and whoever is left standing faces a chance to win big – provided they can answer The 21St Question.
