Shane Warne, the legendary Australian cricketer who spun his way into the hearts of fans worldwide, continues to be celebrated even after his untimely passing. In a touching tribute to his legacy, a special edition Monopoly board game has been released, immortalising Warne's remarkable life and career in a way that's both playful and poignant.

Warne's children, Jackson, Brooke, and Summer Warne, recently unveiled a giant replica of the game at the Junction Oval in St Kilda, a ground that holds sentimental value as it was named in honour of their father.


The special edition Monopoly game is not just a collector's item but a journey through the illustrious career of Shane Warne. Each aspect of the board has been carefully curated to reflect Warne's achievements and personality. The traditional train stations have been replaced with cricket venues dear to Warne's heart, and the properties players can purchase are not streets but iconic moments from his cricketing life.


The most coveted position on the board, Mayfair, has been fittingly replaced by the 'Ball of the Century', Warne's legendary delivery during the 1993 Ashes series that bowled out Mike Gatting and announced Warne's arrival on the world stage. 'It couldn't have finished on any other piece if I'm honest,' said Jackson Warne, reflecting on his father's most iconic moment.


Even the Chance and Community Chest cards have a personal touch, with baked beans—a nod to Warne's well-known love for the simple food—up for grabs. It's these thoughtful details that make the game a heartfelt celebration of Warne's life.

Warne's competitive spirit was legendary, and it extended beyond the cricket pitch to the Monopoly board. His family fondly recalled how games at home were serious business, with Warne insisting that unfinished games be left untouched overnight, ready to be continued the next day before school.

A limited run of 23,000 copies of the special edition board has been produced, and all proceeds will go to the Shane Warne Legacy, a foundation set up to support the causes Warne was passionate about. His family believes that having a Monopoly board dedicated to him would have been one of his proudest moments.
