SHANE WARNE LEGACY rolls the dice on WORLD RECORD
Cricket fans now have a unique tribute to Shane’s remarkable life, to keep his legacy alive for generations to come.
From Boxing Day hat-tricks to world records to the ball of the century, Shane’s career is decorated in moments that are now going to be immortalised in the first Shane Warne Legacy edition of MONOPOLY.
The Shane Warne Legacy edition of MONOPOLY celebrates the iconic career and life of cricket legend Shane Warne. One of Warnie's favourite things to do was play (and win!) MONOPOLY with his family. Take a journey through this tribute highlighting Warnie's milestones, such as The Ball of the Century and his 700th wicket.
Chance and Community Chest cards feature his charismatic persona off the pitch; from a baked beans emergency to golf adventures and fast cars. The fun continues with six unique tokens, including a cricket ball and a slice of pizza. This special edition of MONOPOLY offers a nostalgic and engaging experience honouring Shane Warne's enduring legacy, while preserving the traditional MONOPOLY game Shane enjoyed week after week.

KEITH & BRIGITTE WARNE said: When we first introduced Shane and Jason to MONOPOLY, we had no idea how much it would become a part of our family life. While we can’t recall who won the most games, we know there were many fun-filled moments and with their competitive spirit - many times the board was up-ended. We hope the new MONOPOLY: Shane Warne Legacy Edition brings the same joy and competitiveness to families. Good luck to all players—hopefully the board stays in place this time!
