Isle of Man gets its own Monopoly board

The Manx public is being asked to nominate landmarks to fill the board and playing pieces.

The Isle of Man is getting its own official version of the board game Monopoly.

It's getting a Manx revamp with unique Isle of Man twists. Around 30 Island landmarks will replace the likes of Oxford Street and Park Lane.

The Official launch will be at 10am this morning at Castle Rushen.

Mark Hauser from Winning moves told 3FM; ' The Manx public is being asked to nominate landmarks to fill the board and playing pieces. We are delighted to be making this announcement. The original streets on the traditional London board will now take on a distinct island twist – but we need the public's help to do this and would be very grateful for suggestions.'

You can put forward your suggestions for two weeks on www.facebook.com/monopoly.isleofman or email isleofman@winningmoves.co.uk

The game will be release later this year in time for Christmas.
