�The game was pretty intense! I based my strategy on negotiation and just rolling the dice,� he said. �I�m pretty good at board games and after winning the Poker Champs in March I�m really happy.�

The New Zealand Monopoly Championships were hosted by distributors, Hasbro New Zealand. Teresa Mitrovic, Marketing Manager for Hasbro said the competition a great success. �Today�s final game brought the best players in the country together and it�s been an exciting game of skill and strategy.�
