About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready to relive the classic Monopoly, but with a special twist straight from Amersfoort, Netherlands! In this game, we move around the board by rolling the dice, buying properties that land in our hands, and of course, collecting rent from anyone unlucky (or lucky!) enough to stop where we own. The goal is to amass as much money as possible by building houses and hotels to make the rent even steeper. Remember the saying about having a complete set? Well, it applies here too: owning all properties of a color increases your power and your bank account! But beware, because bankruptcy is a real threat, and one of the objectives is to see opponents go broke. The negotiation dynamic is strong, so be prepared to make deals (or not!) with other players. The original game has been adapted with elements from Amersfoort, bringing local charm to the experience. A significant portion of the profits from the sale of this game was donated to the Leukemie.nl foundation, so you play and help a good cause. It's the Monopoly you know and love, with a Dutch setting and a touch of solidarity, perfect for those who enjoy economic and negotiation games with a bit of luck from the dice.
