Edinburgh Zoo launches an exclusive edition of board game favourite Monopoly

A fun-packed family board game that has firmly established its reputation as one of the world's most loved family games is now available in an exclusive Edinburgh Zoo edition.

Zoological Society of Scotland teamed up with the play and entertainment giant Hasbro to create an Edinburgh Zoo version of Monopoly.

Available in the Edinburgh Zoo and Highland Wildlife Park gift shops and online at the trust's website, the board game has some unique zoo-inspired features.

Instead of collecting property, the players will have a chance to adopt their favourite animals and build and improve enclosures for them. And instead of Community Chest and Chance, players will use Wild Cards and Animal Antics to get ahead of their opponents.

On the game's playing board, giant and red pandas can be spotted as this version's most expensive blue slots - costing M400 and M350 Monopoly money, respectively.

Instead of the usual slots prompting players to pay taxes or penalties, the Edinburgh Zoo Monopoly has a field asking to feed the animals for M200 or get a new habitat for M100.

The Royal Zoological Society of Scotland is a wildlife conservation charity, and every purchase of their custom Monopoly game will support the charity's vital conservation projects at home in Scotland and around the world.
