The game was created to celebrate Hudson's bicentennial in 1985. At the very first Winter Walk in 1997, Historic Hudson raffled off a Hudsonopoly set. (If memory serves, it was won by Alana Hauptmann and Perry Cooney.) I haven't seen the actual game since. It is the stuff of legend.

Today, Rich Volo reports in Trixie's List that he discovered a Hudsonopoly game in mint condition in the window at The Second Show, and he bought it! For more pictures of the legendary game, click here.
Zooming in and looking at the people’s names and businesses and places mentioned is interesting… a few of these I’ve heard lore about! The 1990s feels so antediluvian on this. Is the Hudson Library History Room soon going to have a presentation on “Hudson’s Roaring 90s?”
ReplyDeleteImagine if this board game was made about Hudson now. The level of snark would be off the charts!
Mousetrap? Sorry? Clue? Hungry Hungry Hippos?
We have one in the archives in the history room at the HAL!
