Since we are restarting MONOPOLY City Streets game play, we have decided to make a few changes to the game at the same time. Why? We want to make it more competitive and fun…and also to prevent any sneaky cheating (which a few of you were up to…you know who you are). A short summary of some key changes:
Streets can only change hands ONCE per day
In other words, no street can be bought or sold more than once per day. So, be wise about your street selection.Bidding Cap Removed
For level 3 players and above, we have removed the bidding cap of M1.5 million on streets. Have fun.Addition of « For Sale » signs
Having a hard time finding a street to purchase? Now when viewing the zoomed out map, you will see red “for sale” signs that will indicate where streets are available. Click on the sign to visit the neighborhood and buy, buy, buy.Tax
There is only one certainty in MONOPOLY City Streets. Tax. Just like in real life, tax now plays an integral part of the game. The first 5 streets that you own are tax-free. The current tax rate is 3% per street. For example, if you own 15 streets your tax will be 30% of your total rent collected every day. If you own 25 streets your tax will be 60%, etc.Street Protection
Many of you noticed that if there is an offer made on a street, it was protected from hazards and the bulldozer while the street is under negotiation. No longer. Streets will no longer be protected when they are included in negotiations.Forced Repossession of Streets
It pays to play regularly. If, after 2 weeks, there has not been any activity on your account, the bank will automatically repossess ALL your streets. Ouch. So, keep buying, building and negotiating – you never know what chance has in store for you…For the updated guidelines click here.
Cheaters
We are monitoring activity of players. If we are suspicious that you are engaging in unsportsmanlike behavior in the game, you do run the risk of being disqualified (or in Monopoly terms, sent to jail without a ‘get out of jail free’ card.). As you know, this is a free game and we want people to have fun negotiating deals, buying streets and building a crazy new cityscape.And, two things you won’t see (we know you’ll ask…)
E-mail verification: Monopoly City is a family board game. And, by extension, Monopoly City Streets is a family game. We are limited as to the type of information we can collect from younger players (especially internationally) and as such have not added e-mail verification.
Updated street data: There are millions of streets in the world and we are not able to update the street data at this time. But, if you want to learn more about OpenStreetMap and Monopoly City Streets, click here.We hope that this sheds some light on the changes to the game. Thanks again for your enthusiasm for Monopoly City Streets. Enjoy!
