PLAYED FOR YOU

MONOPOLY CITYVILLE

We build a dream city

Once again the classic family game is given a new topic and a new variant; topic of the game are not primarily real estate lots and hotels that you build on your lots, but constructing a city called CityVille.

And, corresponding to the new goal the winning conditions have changed, too, in this version you win if you are first to own four skyscrapers.

To build those skyscrapers you must first build small buildings: Houses, Business or Community Buildings. All those buildings have the same price and earn you the same amount of revenue from rents. The basic rules of Monopoly apply: You roll the dice and move your marker, can buy the lot you reach or pay rent to the owner and can build on real estate lots that you own. Buildings you set up are not put directly on the lot, but are placed in the middle of the board at the end of the arrow connected to the lot. When you have set up three buildings on one of your lots, you can build the skyscraper. Such a skyscraper is rather expensive and you need to amass quite some capital for it.

The Community spaces and Event spaces from Monopoly are called Visitor Center and Mystery Gift in this version. The Mystery Gift space introduce another novelty into the game, those spots yield decoration for your lot. Those decorations not only beautify the lot, but also raise the value of the lot – you assign them to a lot and they remain in place permanently for the duration of the game, even if you have to sell the lot to another player or to the bank.

CityVille is pretty and is fun – and as in all versions new elements are introduced while the familiar mechanisms remain – fun with easy access!
