LONDON - A precious stone-studded monopoly board is set to go on display in New York this Friday, even as a Scottish monopoly board included new highlands and Islands edition to the popular board game.
And for the details - the gold Kent Road on this 23-carat Monopoly board which is worth 1.2million pounds - or 6,000 times passing Go.
Jeweller Sidney Mobell, 84, set a single ruby into the chimney of each house, while hotels have sapphires. The 6,000 pounds dice have 42 diamonds for number dots.
The board has only been played once since being made in 1989 - when Mobell challenged former PM Edward Heath, The Sun reports. (ANI)
