GILFORD
W ith COVID-19 making 2020 âthe year of games and puzzles,â a local mother and daughter have created one of the yearâs biggest, and unexpected hits: WinniOpoly, a super-local Monopoly-style game with Lake Winnipesaukee at its center.
The objective of WinniOpoly is the same as Monopoly, but the action takes place on and around the big lake in Carroll and Belknap counties, rather than in Atlantic City, N.J.
Itâs an homage to an earlier Winnipesaukee-influenced board game â Follow the Mount â and a testament to the importance of bouncing ideas off a loved one, said Kathy Tognacci.
A one-time owner of 10 AT&T cellphone stores in Massachusetts, Tognacci eventually sold the businesses and retired with her family to Gilford. For decades, the Tognaccis had skied at Waterville Valley and gone boating on Lake Winnipesaukee, so the move was a logical one.
