Hot property! One of the most popular board games of all time is given a Donkey Sanctuary makeover.

Barns and shelters replace hotels and houses in this new version of Monopoly.

To celebrate its 50th anniversary, the Donkey Sanctuary has launched a special edition of the classic board game.

With gameplay based on the journey a donkey takes when coming into the sanctuary, there are surprises galore in store in this Donkey Sanctuary version of Monopoly. Perfect for the donkey-loving uber-capitalist.

The international welfare charity says this version aims to follow a donkey’s journey at the sanctuary, from its first day in the new arrivals unit to moving on to a new home with a donkey guardian.

Players will face the possibilities of feed and vets’ bills as they make their way round the board, on which the chance and community chest squares are replaced by straw and carrot cards, the stations by farm vehicles, and hotels and houses by barns and shelters.

Other properties to look out for on the board include paddocks for foals, elderly donkeys and those in need of special care (the pink trio in the normal edition); the operating theatre, X-ray room and hoof care area (the pale blue properties); and, taking the place of Park Lane and Mayfair, a donkey training centre and donkey rehoming. The jail, free parking and go squares remain as normal.
