PooleOpoly (1997)

POOLEOPOLY is concerned with business trade in Poole & Purbeck. The object of the game is to accumulate as much wealth as possible through the purchase, trade and development of businesses - the businesses themselves representing actual firms on the Island or town. It has the following features: - Businesses to buy, trade and sell. - A £500 ‘Loan Card’ for each player, ‘Get Out of Jail’ in another game. - The ability (once you own all the key businesses in a colour group) to expand by building shops and superstores. Though you wouldn’t guess that from the counters! - Corfe Castle - a place where you get sent when you have failed to pay your bills - though you are able to visit if you happen to pass by. - The Miller's Pantry Square, where you gain £200 by passing through. Not in the usual position of one of the corner squares, but two squares after the Start. - 21"Take A Break" and 21"Go for the Gamble" cards. - Mortgages - Thornton's Chemist Sponsored Free Parking. - ... and many more.
