Bonus Game: Monopoly Wildlife Makeover!

RSPB is a charity organization aiming to help the conservation of nature and wildlife, as well as change the established nature policies which harm the environment.

RSPB Shop has released an exclusive edition of Monopoly.

It’s the traditional game you know and love; work your way round the board and if you land on an unowned square, buy it up. But in the place of Mayfair or Old Kent Road, RSPB Monopoly gets you collecting the sites of stunning birds. Rather than purchasing Fenchurch Street station, you’ll visit habitats such as woodlands, wetlands and coastal reserves.

Even the Community Chest and Chance cards have been given a nature theme: “You have won 2nd prize in the photography competition. Collect M10.” Add new birdwatching hides and visitor centres as you go, to see who can make the best bird sites and become the top wildlife conservationist.

As well as being great fun, the family favourite will introduce young audiences to our native wildlife. RSPB Monopoly includes twenty-two UK bird species with gorgeous images. Can you beat your friends and family to the coveted dark blue puffin or gannet sites?
