Monopoly Succession – Heirloom Edition

May 9, 2024 / / 0 Comments

This Monopoly Succession set is one of the rarest in my collection. Monopoly Heirloom was produced by WS Game Company – an American company that specialises in designing ‘luxury’ versions of Hasbro games. However, this edition is even rarer due to its ‘Succession’ branding.

This edition was not sold in stores, instead it was given away as a gift in advance of the Premiere of the fourth and final season of the TV show Succession. Succession Season Four debuted on 26th March 2023.

The centre of the board has the ‘SUCCESSION’ logo and the side of the board is marked with the ‘HBO MAX’ logo. Otherwise the game is identical to the Monopoly Heirloom edition.

Additional Information about Monopoly Succession

Hi Callum,

Thank you so much for reaching out! It is so awesome that you were able to obtain one of the Succession Monopoly Heirloom Editions. The information I can give you regarding the unit is that we worked with an HBO hired promotional company to produce this Monopoly for the final season. Unfortunately we cannot share any additional details about the qty produced and the distribution of the units. You definitely have very good fortune to be able to have obtained one of these units!

Monopoly By You – Selfridges Event Christmas 2021

May 8, 2024 / / 0 Comments

During the Festive Season of 2021, Selfridges (in partnership with Noonah) sold customisable Monopoly editions. These were standard UK editions with traditional UK London properties. Selfridges would then print your Family’s name onto the box and the board – making it unique to every customer.

In addition, customers could select any eight tokens to include with their game – both silver and gold tokens were available to choose from.

The edition could be purchased either online or in-store for £35.

My Edition

I purchased one of these editions from eBay – from the ‘Gungz’ Family

This edition includes: watch, challice, flag, dumbbell, elephant, bird, horse and plane.

Monopoly Secret Vault (2022)

May 8, 2024 / / 0 Comments

In this version of Monopoly, there are no Railroads, utilities, houses or Community Chest Cards. Hotels can only be obtained through the ‘Vault’ – they cannot be bought.

The Vault starts with: 4 x £100, a Hotel and a Key. The key is the only way to obtain a locked property. The Vault gains an extra £100 every time a player passes Go, and it also receives money taken from the Tax squares and certain Chance Cards.

The Vault is only unlocked with the correct code. Players can make one attempt to unlock the Vault if they roll the Vault symbol during their turn; land on a Vault Space (formerly the Railroads) or pay £100 after landing on a Pay £100 Vault Space (formerly the Utilities).

The game ends when all 22 properties have been purchased or unlocked. Each player collects one extra rent payment from the bank. The winner is then whoever has the highest cash total.
