Monopoly fanatic Ayal Doctors has created a Purim costume based on his favourite game.

The 10-year-old Independent Jewish Day School pupil's Purimopoly T-shirt includes Megilla Street and Mordechai Square. "Go to Haman's gallows" is the jail penalty. The outfit is completed by a Mr Moneybags-style top hat and giant dice.

"It's my favourite game," he said. "I started playing about a year ago with my father and grandfather and I must have played about a thousand times."

The outfit took Ayal about a week to make but he said he had been planning it "for a very long time. Once Purim's over I'm going to treasure it forever. I would like to show it to my children when I'm older."
