Monopoly is a popular property trading board game which was invented by American woman Lizzie Magie in 1903 when it was called ‘The Landlords Game’.

The most expensive property on the classic London version is ‘Mayfair’ - with ‘Old Kent Road’ being the cheapest on the board.

Boston Big Local is remaining tight-lipped about the details for now, but says it is hoping to launch the game next month.
