Hasbro’s Monopoly has been around since 1935, serving as one of the most iconic board games in history. It is a competitive game that revolves around two or more players to avoid bankruptcy by buying and trading properties, rolling dice to determine which properties they land on, and drawing cards that either help or hinder themselves or other players.
Manly residents interested in the Northern Beaches Edition Monopoly can purchase a board from The Steyne at 75 The Corso, Manly NSW 2095 for the price of $69.95. Games can also be ordered online from Dee Why RSL’s website.
