"A Welsh-language version of the popular family game, based on the towns and cities of Wales. Players of all ages can win or lose a fortune as they travel the length and breadth of Wales. The rules of the game are in both Welsh and English.

Fersiwn uniaith Gymraeg o'r gêm deuluol boblogaidd, wedi'i seilio ar rai o brif drefi a dinasoedd Cymru. Bydd cyfle i blant a phobl o bob oed ennill neu golli eu ffortiwn wrth deithio Cymru gyfan, o Fôn i Fynwy. Mae rheolau'r gêm yn ddwyieithog". (visit link)

"Laugharne is perhaps best known for its associations with Dylan Thomas, but for the past 20 years, the picturesque castle, sited on the Taf estuary, has been the subject of painstaking archaeological investigation and gradual restoration. There was probably a Norman castle here by the early 12th century, though the upstanding remains can be traced back no further than the work of the de Brian family in the late 13th century. From the de Brians and their descendants, in 1488 the lordship and castle passed to the earls of Northumberland. In 1584, Elizabeth I granted Laugharne to Sir John Parrott, said to have been the illegitimate son of Henry VIII".
