The details
Monopoly is a card game in which the players will have to compete against each other to collect three complete sets of property. As the game goes, players can lose their property if they don’t manage their bank money wisely.
This game is made up of action cards, property cards, money cards, and rent cards. There is a bank pile for storing money. However, it’s not like the regular monopoly board game as the focus here is not on acquiring properties.
Instead, what this Amazon exclusive game focuses on is using money piles to pay other players as necessary and also to safeguard property sets. You can think of this money pile as a wall to protect the players’ investments and property.
