Hammontonopoly Games
2025.18.10.1- 1980 Version, “WHEELER- DEALER- The
Game of Hammonton- The Hub of South
Jersey.” The first Monopoly-like
board game for Hammonton was
commissioned by the Soroptimist
International of Hammonton. The game
was made by Michael Glenn Productions
using their Wheeler-Dealer game format.
Towns raised money by approaching
local businesses and selling placements
on the board to advertise their goods
and services, no doubt at different levels
corresponding to more desirable
positions on the board. Most of the
leading businesses of Hammonton were
represented. Player tokens were not
individualized for that town, and all game
cards and cash carried Wheeler-Dealer
and Glenn credits.
2025.18.10.2- 1987 Version, Hammonton-opoly,
The first-ever HAMMONTONOPOLY game
is released. Much like the earlier 1980
Michael Glenn Wheeler-Dealer-based
project Hammonton businesses were
approached, contributing monies toward
board placement. Once again, the new
game highlighted many of the most
prominent and identifiable town
businesses. This new game featured
player game pieces “unique” to
Hammonton; a Tractor, Shopping Bag,
Pizza Slice, Football, Bicycle, and our
Town Clock! Instead of houses and
hotels, it incorporated green and red
plastic discs.
2025.18.10.3- 2013 Version, Hammontonopoly
A new, revised HAMMONTONOPOLY
game is launched, this one is released by
MainStreet Hammonton with additional
backing from “community partners” NJM
Insurance and NJM Bank, both
companies celebrating their 100th
anniversary. In fact, it marked
MainStreet’s 20th year of revitalization of
our town. NJM was featured prominently
on the game board center, game cards,
and the stacks of money. AtlantiCare was
another contributor to the project. Once
again, the game board spaces were a
call-out to familiar businesses in
Hammonton who contributed to the
project, albeit now with a whole lot more
“artistic flair” in the game spaces than
the initial edition. The iconic game
pieces returned; the Tractor, Shopping
Bag, Pizza Slice, Football, Bicycle, and our
Town Clock! Proper houses and hotels
this time around, in purple and red
respectively.
