Catalogue information
The designers of this game have worked on this for 2 years and when the mayor of Woudrichem saw the game, he decided to have 300 copies made. Of these, 180 went into the Christmas packages for the officials and the rest went up for public sale. In January 2004 another 150 copies were made, bringing the total circulation of this edition to 450. The prices of the properties and rents correspond to those of the corresponding Hasbro-Monopoly game from the golden era. The Woudrichem Weapon, in miniature, can be seen a number of times on the back of the game board. The stations have been replaced by 4 regional means of transport, namely the pedestrian ferry, ferry and boat. A salmon is depicted on the Vatte cards; on the Geve cards is a treasure chest, which is supposed to represent the famous book chest, with which Hugo de Groot managed to escape from the castle Loevenstein (on the other side of the river). The texts on the cards (5.5 x 8 cm) were devised by Tom and Benjamin themselves and are described in the local dialect. (Data Monopoly Lexicon Albert Veldhuis)
