As always, the locations chosen to make it onto the final board design aim to be iconic spots any visitor to Durban will know. These include uShaka Marine World, Kingsmead, Kings Park, The Pavilion centre, and many more.
"It brings us such joy to launch the regional games for Monopoly," says Robert Osborne, sales manager for Winning Moves United Kingdom. "To see the pride in people’s faces when they recognise the landmarks that they grew up with is always heart-warming and makes us love what we do even more."
The launch event took place on Thursday, 9 November at The Pavilion was attended by Mr Monopoly himself. The aim was to create excitement and get the public ready for the new Monopoly Durban edition.
