Monopoly was created in 1935 and its creator Winning Moves, under license from Hasbro, is now making a Bendigo version where people can buy, and sell, Bendigo's attractions on the way to being a real estate mogul. "The Joss House is over 150 years old this year and it really tells the story of how Bendigo has formed and the diversity in Bendigo at the time," Mr Reade said.
Michael Counsell from Winning Moves said it was looking for places that had culture, history, and location to adapt into the board game.
