Exeter: Reassuringly expensive

In April and May we encouraged you to get over to the Hasbro website to vote on the layout of the UK Here & Now edition of Monopoly, and now the final layout of the board has been revealed.

After all your efforts (and ours) Exeter has made it to one of the two prime locations on the board. Whilst St. Albans pipped us at the post to take Mayfair, Exeter has settled quite happily into the Park Lane square.

What the results show is unclear, is it the levels of camaraderie within the towns, the levels of internet access or simply the ability to read that helped determine a town/city's final position. That said, Liverpool has got the unenviable privilege of taking last place (or should that be the first place) on the board as old Kent Road.

The locations are not the only things to have changed though, the prices have sky-rocketed. Liverpool will cost a cool £400k whilst St. Albans will set you back £4 million.

The official unveiling of the board will take place at some point today and the board will be available to purchase some time soon.
