Monopoly's Love Affair with Essex

This isn't Monopoly's first venture into the historic county of Essex. The "great property trading board game" has already embraced the "ancient Saxon county" with a dedicated Essex Edition. This existing version features a range of attractions from across the county, including:

Southend Pier

Copped Hall

Epping

Layer Marney Tower

Audley End House

County Hall, Chelmsford

Thurrock and Lakeside Shopping Centre

New Street, Braintree

Castle Park, Colchester

The County Ground, Chelmsford

Castle, Stansted

Estate, Chelmsford

About the Essex Edition (and what to expect for Southend):

The Essex Edition of Monopoly, like all versions of the beloved family game, encourages players to:

Choose their favourite token and tour the sights of Essex.

Accumulate fortunes by buying properties, but beware of taxes, jail, and bankruptcy!

Invest in houses and hotels to trade their way to success.

The upcoming Southend-on-Sea edition promises the same fast-dealing, property-trading fun, tailored specifically to the unique charm of the town. What Southend or maybe Leigh-on-sea landmarks do you think deserve a spot on the board?
