Starting 2025 with a playful roll of the dice, a Victorian hotspot is getting the chance to ‘Pass Go’ this year with the announcement of a custom MONOPOLY board for the Yarra Valley and Dandenong Ranges.
The Yarra Valley and Dandenong Ranges’ storybook villages, breathtaking mountains, and rich wildlife. Historic towns like Mount Dandenong, Olinda, and Sassafras, famous for their charm, are home to quaint cafes, boutique stores, and exceptional local wineries – all will be inspiration for the new board.
Announced last week, locals can have their say on which regional gems they would like to see on the custom edition via the official MONOPOLY: Winning Moves Australia Facebook page: Winning Moves Australia
Would you want to see the iconic Puffing Billy Railway take the top ‘Mayfair’ property? Or perhaps the picturesque Chelsea Australian Garden will make for a perfect Brown square property?
“We are beyond thrilled to celebrate the iconic Yarra Valley with its own custom MONOPOLY board. Renowned for its stunning vineyards, majestic rainforest and memories of winding through the mountains, we can’t wait to hear from the community about what they’d love to see featured,” Jaime-Lee de Niet, representative from Winning Moves, manufacturers of the Yarra Valley and Dandenong Ranges Edition, under license from leading toy and game company Hasbro, said.
“Whether it’s the Tarrawarra Museum of Art, Healesville Sanctuary, or the region’s famous wineries, we’re excited to bring the Yarra Valley to life on the board!”
2025 marks 90 years of MONOPOLY in the market, and Hasbro is celebrating its iconic legacy all year long. As the world’s favourite family game brand, with over one billion players in 114 countries, MONOPOLY is more than just a game – it’s a global phenomenon.
Known for its timeless fun, strategy, and friendly competition, MONOPOLY invites consumers across generations to step into a world where opulence and villainy collide, and all is fair in the race for riches. With a growing list of more than 300 culturally relevant editions and new ways to play – from in-person experiences to digital platforms, casino games and more – there’s truly a MONOPOLY for everyone.
The new MONOPOLY: Yarra Valley and Dandenong Ranges Edition will be available from leading toy retailers across the region in 2025.
