Hong Kong Monopoly
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hong Kong Monopoly is an edition of the popular board game Monopoly. It features properties, railroads and utilities located in Hong Kong, in place of those from the original game.
The Hong Kong edition was originally released in 1991 by Waddingtons Int. Ltd. in Singapore, and an updated version from Parker Brothers/Hasbro Hong Kong Ltd. was released in 1995. In 1997 a Commemorative Edition was released to mark the Transfer of Sovereignty of Hong Kong. Another version was released in 2001 also by Parker Brothers/Hasbro Hong Kong Ltd. The most recent version, released in 2007, is a limited edition commemorating the 10th Anniversary of the Handover. Each copy of the 10th anniversary edition game has a unique number and includes a certificate of authenticity.
Properties are well-known locations all over the territory of Hong Kong. The four railways are MTR stations.
The 1997 Commemorative Edition brought further changes from the Monopoly standard. Player pieces include Hong Kong symbols.
A more widespread version of Monopoly also exists in Hong Kong. These unofficial versions were published by local companies and cost much less. All the words are in Chinese. Some well-known locations, like Shaw's Studio are considered outdated nowadays.
