'Yn Cymraeg' - Welsh-language version 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.

"When Britannia was a Roman province, Carmarthen was the civitas capital of the Demetae tribe, known as Moridunum (meaning sea fort). Carmarthen is possibly the oldest town in Wales and was recorded by Ptolemy and in the Antonine Itinerary. The Roman fort is believed to date from AD75-77.
According to some variations of the Arthurian legend, Merlin was born in a cave outside Carmarthen, with some noting that Merlin may be an anglicised form of Myrddin. Historians generally disagree with this interpretation of the name, preferring that Myrddin is a corruption of the Roman name but the story is popular. Many areas surrounding Carmarthen still allude to this, such as the nearby Bryn Myrddin (Merlin's Hill)." Text Source: (visit link)
