Monopoly City Streets

quote:

De spelregels zijn min of meer hetzelfde. Elke speler start met 3 miljoen dollar in zijn virtuele portefeuille, en kan dat geld gebruiken om straten aan te schaffen. Elke straat kan wel maar door een persoon worden aangekocht. Hoeveel een bepaalde straat kost, hangt af van de locatie. Het Britse Downing Street zal bijvoorbeeld 230.000 dollar kosten, terwijl Pennsylvania Avenue (de locatie van het Witte Huis) op ongeveer 2 miljoen dollar aftikt. Ook de doelstelling blijft wel hetzelfde: rijk worden en als laatste overblijven.
Nog een verschilpunt met het origineel: waar spelers in de oorspronkelijke Monopoly enkel huizen en hotels kunnen bouwen, kunnen er in Monopoly City Street ook andere structuren geconstrueerd worden. Een voetbalstadion, bijvoorbeeld.
