Move around the board buying districts and
building a Monopoly metropolis. Each
district in the middle of the board has a
matching space on the track; if you land on
an unowned district, buy it or put it up for
auction – it’s up to you!

The Basics

u You can build on every turn.

u Buy residential and/or industrial

buildings to increase the rent value of
your districts.

u Residential buildings are cheaper, but

watch out! If someone builds
a hazard (a sewage plant or rubbish
dump, for example) on your district,

residential blocks are worth nothing!

Industrial blocks cost more but are a
safer investment.

ENTER THE EXCITING WORLD OF MONOPOLY CITY!

u Protect your districts by building

schools, water towers and other
bonus buildings.

The Extras

u Buy two districts of the same color and

treat yourself to a stadium to hike up
your wages.

u Buy all of the districts in one color group

so that you can build a skyscraper and
immediately double the rent value of all
of those districts.

u Buy all of the districts in

groups, and the Monopoly Tower – which
doubles the rent value of

districts – could be yours!
