Southland's Monopoly edition returning with 'new surprises'
With the support of local businesses, The Southland Business Chamber has now placed a second order for the Monopoly Southland Edition to arrive in time for Christmas 2023.
Last year 4000 Monopoly – Southland Edition games were sold out within a week.
With the support of local businesses, The Southland Business Chamber has now placed a second order, with a couple of new surprises, to arrive in time for Christmas 2023.
“The Southland Business Chamber created a special edition board game as a way to promote our region, and support our community in an innovative, fun and entertaining way”, Sheree Carey, CEO Southland Business Chamber said.
This edition of Monopoly will take you on a journey of contrasts and offers world class scenery from snow-capped mountain peaks to the deepest lakes, stunning fiords, fertile farmland, majestic wilderness, stretching coastline to the wild Southern Ocean.
Your journey will begin from the rich cultural heart of Eastern Southland, before exploring one of the Top 10 drives of the World – The Southern Scenic Route. A majestic trip through a world of spectacular waterfalls and rugged coastlines leads to The Catlins Coast. Follow the pathway to Invercargill through to Stirling Point, Bluff. Visit Rakiura / Stewart Island, returning to the mainland to explore the pristine wilderness of Fiordland via the stunning, lush greens and blues of Western Southland and Northern Southland.
Joanne O’Connor, Project and Engagement Manager Southland Business Chamber said Pre-sales are open [https://southlandchamber.co.nz/southland-monopoly-2/], and the arrival in October will have Christmas shopping lists sorted.
“This will be a perfect gift for family, friends, and Southlanders’ living outside the region; or to say thank you to staff, clients and suppliers.
Also, it’s a great asset for local tourist attractions, motels, and hotels to promote the region to visitors.”
The game is being sold by the Southland Business Chamber (25 on Don, Invercargill) for $59.95 and will also be available at E Hayes & Sons, Solve It & Escape, Transport World, and Gore Visitors Centre.
Very cool. I also think mini-Southland landmark collectibles would be popular, especially with kids collecting them. Much like some of the supermarkets have done in the past. You could also have the city board and a few others which they go on could be bought. The rest could be cheaper or free at participating Southland shops.
