A new board game set at Abbey Road Studios is now on sale in the UK. The game mixes music trivia, song lyrics and knowledge of song titles and artists.
Players start the game on the Abbey Road Studios zebra crossing used by the Beatles for the "Abbey Road" album. They take turns rolling the dice to enter. They then make their way through Studios One, Two and Three and the chillout rooms to answer questions and collect the pieces of an 80th anniversary album token. The winner is the first person to complete the album and make their way back to the zebra crossing.
The board includes photographs from the studio with limited edition graphics and game pieces.
The game is being sold through Tesco stores and online at Tesco Direct in the UK. We tried to contact the American offices of Imagination Games, but haven't heard whether the game will be available in the States. Imagination, however, does sell through stores in North America, though their American website doesn't list the game.
But maybe trying to buy a UK version wouldn't be such a bad idea. As part of the game's launch there, golden tickets have been hidden in five copies of the game giving the winner a guided tour through Abbey Road Studios.
