Monopoly is so popular that numerous versions of the board game have emerged over the years. The latest involves a 12-metre by 12-metre board.
Maritime Square mall in Tsing Yi has organised a 2006 Monopoly Fun Day tomorrow and Sunday.
It will host the first life-sized Monopoly game in Hong Kong. The giant board includes green houses and red hotels, as well as a prison. People who go to 'jail' will be handcuffed and will have to wear a black-and-white striped prison outfit before being locked up in a cell.
Shoppers can play the game with every purchase of HK$200 or more. They will be divided into two-member teams - one will be the pawn, while the other will roll the dice and manage the assets.
The winners will be able to take home limited-edition products from Monopoly.
The event will also feature a charity sale of Monopoly board games. They include two gold 70th anniversary special editions priced at HK$699.90, a seven-games-in-one set (HK$499.90), and a Disney version (HK$499.90).
