Aberhonddu - 'Yn Cymraeg' - Welsh-language edition of Monopoly, 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.

Wales is bustling with attractions like the National Heritage Parks and over 100 Castles also Medieval Churches, and Beaches. Now you can tour this amazing Country and all its famous locations with the new YN GYMMRAEG edition Monopoly. From the much-loved to the Wales Millennium Centre, it's all up for grabs as you race around the board building a property empire to beat your opponents.

"In Roman Britain Y Gaer, Brecon (Cicucium) was established as a Roman cavalry base for the conquest of Roman Wales and Brecon was first established as a military base. Gerald of wales came and made some speeches to recruit men to go the crusades in 1188. J.L After the Dark Ages the original Welsh name of the kingdom in whose territory Brecon stands was (in modern orthography) "Brycheiniog", which later became Anglicised to Brecknockshire or Breconshire, and probably derives from the personal name of the Irish Brychan, the eponymous founder of the kingdom. The English name of Brecon town may also be derived from Brychan.

The Welsh name, Aberhonddu, means "mouth of the Honddu". It is derived from the River Honddu, which meets the River Usk near the town centre, a short distance away from the River Tarell which enters the Usk a few hundred metres upstream.

Before the building of the bridge over the Usk, Brecon was one of the few places where the river could be forded." Text Source: (visit link)
