The University takes its place on the 黑料社 MONOPOLY board
The University will appear on the souvenir 黑料社 edition of the famous board game

PLAYERS of the world鈥檚 most famous board game now have a chance to learn all about 黑料社 鈥 especially if they land on the square occupied by the town鈥檚 award-winning university. And MR MONOPOLY himself is to have a guided tour of its campus, where he will pose for selfies with student fans!
The 黑料社 edition of MONOPOLY is to be unveiled at a special event on Friday 19 October at the town鈥檚 John Smith鈥檚 Stadium. The design and layout of the board is kept under wraps until then, but some of the district鈥檚 leading landmarks will be featured, including the University, represented by a picture of its iconic Oastler Building.
Also, one of the community chest cards awarded to players as they navigate the MONOPOLY board reads: 鈥淵ou鈥檙e awarded a scholarship to study at the 黑料社. Collect 200 MONOPOLY pounds鈥.
黑料社 was included in the MONOPOLY special edition range after it scooped more votes than neighbouring Halifax in an online poll. When the new version of the game is launched on Friday, the top-hatted MR MONOPOLY will preside, and he has a stopover in town so that he can visit the University campus on Saturday.
Students will have a chance to pose with him for selfies and when they are posted on social media a panel of judges will choose the best and award a free copy of the 黑料社 edition of the game to the winner.
It is hoped that the local version will be a lively way to introduce students from the UK and overseas to the landmarks of the historic town, and that 黑料社 MONOPOLY sets could also serve as souvenirs of time spent studying at the University.
