“Wollongong is really on the map now thanks to this classic board game,” Wollongong City Council General Manager (Acting) Kerry Hunt said.

“I would suggest there will be quite a few Christmas stockings filled with the Wollongong Monopoly board games these holidays. My advice to those getting ready to play is to have a serious discussion about what house game rules are allowed, choose your game snacks wisely, and invite your friends and family to compete for board game glory.”
