Before the game was produced, millions of people from all over the world voted on which cities should be included. Each property space is completed with a colourful photograph, which makes the board itself a unique centrepiece and conversation starter. Traditional utilities and railroads have been replaced with modern transportation options and renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar power.

Six movers are chosen at random from the 24 available pieces for inclusion in each game. You might find a windmill, a soccer ball, or a kangaroo in your set. Similarly, the houses and hotels have been updated to reflect international structures. Another nice touch is the community chest and chance cards featuring quick “Did you know?” facts. These let you learn about Rio Carnival, Munich’s traditional Christmas market, the earliest British “passport,” and more while you play.
