Sydney game for Monopoly honour

Sydney’s Opera House and Bondi Beach are among some of the iconic landmarks featuring in Australia’s first official Sydney Monopoly board game, but Sydney Harbour scooped the title of most exclusive property.

“It has taken a while, we apologise for that, but as soon as the opportunity came up, we wanted to get Sydney to the Monopoly market as soon as possible,” said Reid Herbert of games manufacturer Winning Moves yesterday, the day the board game was officially launched.

Sydney Harbour now takes its place among other plum properties, the equivalent of Mayfair in the British edition and Boardwalk in the US.
