I purchased this version of Monopoly with some of the Christmas money my sister sent me because a) I collect the different versions of this game and b) the price was good. It arrived on 20/12 (and cheered me up no end, as that day I'd had a great deal of hassle with public transport!!) & once I'd put my heating on I opened it and I was very satisfied with it. Not only did I find it educational (there were places, particularly on the smaller islands, I'd never heard of) but a!so I liked the idea of replacing the tax squares with charitable donation squares. One minor quibble (not enough though to knock off anything from my rating) is, like all the versions I've purchased so far,

Everyone loves Monopoly, right? I got this as a gift for my sister. Both Manchester born and bred we moved away to the countryside when we were small but she still adores the city and would love to move back there. She loved this game. She says it's more fun to play than the original one because you can buy landmarks you identify with. I couldn't get hold of this anywhere on the High Street, so when I saw this one I was extatic. It arrived in a large box, well packaged. You would need to be home to take receipt of this item as its too large to fit through the letterbox (stating the obvious there). Great family game with a Mancunian twist - in'it.

Having spent my childhood playing the London version of the game, which annoyed me as much as all the other London centric things, I was pleased when I found the Manchester version.As an exiled Manc/Lanc I have always tried to exert my Northern ways on the Southern/London family I married into. When my step-son and partner moved into their first house and I needed a stocking filler for their first Christmas together this was ideal.Would have been perfect if Old Trafford had been the new "Old Kent Road" and but Sports City was where it should be!

I purchased this edition of Monopoly as Manchester is the City of my birth and it was good to see some very familiar streets on the board. However, I am only giving it four stars as there is a mistake on one of the Chance/Community Chest cards. One of these cards instructs the player to 'Advance to Talbot Road' and there is no such square on the board. I can only assume that it means ' Advance to Old Trafford Cricket Ground' and that Talbot Road is a square on another edition.

Me and my family loved this, it was definitely worth the money what would be even better though is if they had a rotherham version so I would be able to buy it and have the dynamic duo, there was plenty of space on the packaging for the money and the cards, only thing I think would be an improvement is I wish there was more money in the game, but I resolved this by getting the eastenders monopoly and putting both money together, overall I think this Is great.

Being from Manchester once the game was open we could relate to the destinations and places on the board. Places such as Trafford Centre, The Lowry, Piccadilly Gardens to name a few. Still traditional 'go to jail' and chance/community chest cards were there and a good explanation of playing the game. There is a fast track version now in the game which helps. Still hours of fun and reminiscing from when I played this when I was young. Recommended.

It's been a long time since I played Monopoly and I decided to get the localised set for my son for Christmas.We had great fun playing this established board game and the local sites had more meaning for my son than the places on a traditional Monopoly board.The game was received in perfect condition due to the item being well packed and protected from the rigours of delivery.

This was so much fun. Bought 2nd hand but was as good as new. There are a few famous places missing like Park Street. Also the area values don't seem to match up to real life - maybe they didn't want to offend anyone! There's also quite a lot of marketing but it didn't bother us. I liked how the transport squares were Bristol Temple meads and Bristol International Airport etc..

I bought this for members of the extended Lowry family who live in Carlisle Cumbria. Put simply they lived it. Everyone knows what monopoly is but being based on streets in the city of Carlisle gives it an added dimension of fun. A great family game and a good gift. It did take a while for them to realise it was based on Carlisle and not the usual game. Highly recommended.

Honestly, this game should come with some form of warning. Its simply unplayable during the Summer months as many of the streets are blocked off.On a side note, our local politicians ought to be world champions at this game. A bunch of strange characters continually going round and round in circles while accumulating vast swathes of wealth and property!

Great to play this with our young daughter and see her doing everything I ever remembered doing when I played Monopoly (original) with my Dad back in the day.... you know - trying to con the banker, stopping Daddy putting houses and hotels anywhere and also ALWAYS having the dog as her marker! Nice twist to have another city to conquer! Great stuff....

I bought this specifically to play at Christmas with bloke and several friends who are all in the transport industry and everyone enjoyed it! I love Monopoly but hadn't played for years and fancied buying a game for Christmas and can honestly say this kept us amused for hours - brilliant, brilliant, brilliant - I can't recommend it highly enough.

I remember growing up and really getting into board games. Well now my kids are doing the same. It started off on holiday with Monopoly and now I've treated them to this. Even better that's it Manchester because my little girl is starting to see the world around her. So I'm looking forward to many more games, and hopefully very little cheating.

Great version of the game. Was surprised to find Clowne in the Old Kent Road space, a place familiar from when I was young. Not sure it quite deserves being Old Kent Road, but I guess any mention in the game is a good thing considering most of the other places are places or landmarks in the city of Sheffield itself (as you might expect).
