Severn Valley now has a new Monopoly on games

THE Severn Valley Railway is branching out into the family games market with its own versions of Monopoly and Top Trumps.

The games have been adapted to feature iconic locations like Victoria Bridge and Falling Sands Viaduct, and locomotives associated with the heritage line.

Players of SVR Monopoly can buy, sell, dream, and steam their way to riches as they make their way around the board. Pick up a chance or community chest card and you might find yourself paying a fine because your locomotive is blocking the line, or collecting a bonus because your predeparture checks are complete!

The specially-commissioned SVR Top Trumps game features 30 steam locomotives with close associations to the railway. Each one comes with a fact file and all-important and competitive statistics that players can use to beat their opponent, as well as to build up heritage steam knowledge.

SVR managing director Helen Smith said: “We’ve been working hard behind the scenes to create these very special games.

“We are expecting a huge demand as these are completely unique products and will only be available through our online shop at svrshop. co.uk or at our on-site shops.

“Monopoly and Top Trumps are household names from world-renowned brands. Our exclusive versions will make perfect birthday or Christmas gifts and are set to become collectors’ items in the future.”

The SVR’s Monopoly and Top Trumps are available to pre-order now, and will be delivered in the autumn.
