Worcester roadways on the board include Worcester Center Boulevard (now Major Taylor Boulevard) Burncoat, Central, Chandler, Commercial, Foster, Front, Franklin, Grafton, Harding, Madison, Main, Mill, New Salem, North, Plantation, Pleasant, Prescott, Salisbury, Southbridge, Summer and Water streets Washington Square Lincoln Gold Star Boulevard and Interstate 290. Unlike the Monopoly Worcester Edition's board, in which the game travels in a square, the board for All About Town is more of a map of some of the city’s more popular streets focusing on downtown Worcester but reaching into some of the bordering neighborhoods. In the market to rent a chainsaw or a rug shampooer? You can do so for $5 each according to the Travel cards at Taylor Rental Center at 561 Park Ave. If you need your car washed, you can stop at Gervais Car Wash, 9 North St., since razed. To pick up a prescription or some health and beauty aids, there is Lincoln Pharmacy on Burncoat, Chandler, Lincoln and Grafton streets - all no longer there. If you want a bite to eat, there is Putnam & Thurston Restaurant, 27 Mechanic St., and Nick’s Colonial Restaurant, 7 West Boylston St., both long off the menu. If you have a craving for chocolate, there are three Fanny Farmer Candies branches on Main Street, the Galleria and Lincoln Plaza on the game board - but no longer in the city. If you need to buy groceries, there are four Iandoli’s Markets and a Food Village on Gold Star Boulevard, all names from the past. The sole surviving retailer is Strand's Ski Shop at 1 West Boylston Drive. Sawyer Lumber Co., 66 Lincoln St., and The Spare Room at 139 Water St. at 142 Southbridge St., Old Brass & Copper Shop on Front Street, Palley Office Supply on Foster Street, Prime Value Mart, Richard’s Honda at 747 Main St. If you want to shop for a gift for that special someone, players can go to such now-departed shops as Bateman’s Furniture Co.

On All About Town, the city’s cultural community is represented by the aforementioned art museum, Worcester Memorial Auditorium, Worcester Public Library, Worcester Science Museum (now the EcoTarium), Mechanics Hall and the since-closed John Woodman Higgins Armory.

Ink sketches of homes and popular destination spots decorate the board.Įach player starts with $250 in play money (issued from the First Safety Fund National Bank at 200 Commercial St.), rolls dice and picks cards of chance from two piles, 'Travel' and 'Hazard.' The first player to return to his or her residence after completing their list receives all money spent in the game and wins.
