About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready for another round of business and bankruptcies in the charming city of Alkmaar! Monopoly: Alkmaar brings the classic property trading game with a Dutch twist. The mechanics are familiar to everyone: roll the dice, move around the board, buy what you can, and if luck isn't on your side, pay rent to other players. The goal is straightforward: accumulate the most cash and leave everyone else broke. But watch out, there's an extra spice here! The Alkmaar version adds elements and constructions inspired by the city, giving a new look and perhaps a new charm to your negotiations. Set collection remains key to increasing rent and financial power. Prepare for auctions, trades, and, of course, that tension of watching your friends go bankrupt. It's the Monopoly you love, with a European touch that might surprise even veterans. Perfect for those who enjoy an economic game with a bit of luck and plenty of interaction, even if player elimination might be a point of concern for some.
