Ever got that message?

Last time when I was playing the game, I got an interesting message. I thought at first it was meant serious, but I could make more buildings on that street after displaying the message. A nice joke (or maybe a bug). Make yourself an idea. Anyway here is the pic!

Very Sorry...

Now when you read the latest Posts in Monopoly City Streets, you can see that there are sites where you can cheat. Some people try to explain that this game doesn't make fun anymore without cheats and others say its the only way to get expensive streets. We just want to say that these people have a big serious problem, as they can't understand that this games purpose is to make advertisement for the real board game from monopoly. Sure its buggy but they try their best and don't forget its free. So don't cheat as they will catch you, maybe not today but very soon. So don't listen to dumb people telling you to cheat, because there will be always honest players!

Newsticker- the 1 mill $ city

Now, as some of you know this site, it would be great if you tell it other players. We have to mention that we don't hate monopoly city streets, so that any nonsense and rude comments on that game willl be deleted. This is a fansite!
We want to introduce a new thing (because the 1 mill$ week wasn't such a sucess). Each week there will be one city in the world that is shown in the thread with streets that have a value of at least 1mill $. So the 1 mill $ week becomes the 1 mill $ city. Stay tuned as the first 1 mill $ city will be released tomorrow!

Tutorial and First Steps

FAQ and the first Steps

As many persons still have some basic questions, here is a list of useful information especially for newbies.

1. Registration
To register you have to visit http://www.monopolycitystreets.com/ and search for a street in your region. Your registration name has to be unique. Afterwards in your profile, only the region where you bought your first street will be shown (you can't change it later).

2. Sign in
Click the sign in link and enter your log-in data. Never tell anyone your log-in data, because you can't change your password neither you can receive your password if you forget that. So never forget your password!

3. Gameplay
You will already know it, or maybe not... Your Goal is to buy the most expensive streets in the world with the collected rents! You have to be smart, because there is a limit due to TAX!

4. Streets
The basic elements in the game are the streets, which have a value from 100,000$ upto billions of dollar! If you buy more than 5 streets you have to pay tax (3% per street over the 5th street).

4.1. Rents
The only way (except the chance cards) to gain money is to collect rents from your streets. You just have to buy a street and put buildings on it. Every day rent is paid once. You have to log in everyday, otherwise you won't gain the rent for the day.

4.2. Streets Value
If a street is more expensive, the street will be longer! The rent varies by the value of the street, but if you buy a street that cost above 1 mill $, you will gain the most possible rent. So don't buy any streets below 1 mill $!

4.3. Buy Streets
You can only buy streets with a purple heade, because the blue ones are already sold. But you can make an offer to buy them.

4.3.1. Making an offer
If you want to make an offer for a street, you will have to pay a minimum of the streets value. The money you want to pay will be held by the bank, as long as the deal will be active. You can also add streets to your offer. If the offer hasn't been denied within 7 days by the other player, the deal will be accepted automatically.

4.4. Buildings
There are 27 types of buildings. But the best building is the grid building, why? It pays out the most rent and occupies less building space compared with others.

4.4.1 Sell Streets
If you have enough from one of your streets don't sell them too fast! At first sell the buildings on the street by clicking the x on the buildings. And then sell the street. Note you will gain more money if somebody wants to buy it (use the Threads to offer your street), because the bank only pays the half of its value!

4.5. TAX
Don't buy too many streets, as you have to pay tax for every street above the 5th street. So there is a limit of about 5+33 streets, because having more than 38 streets you will have to pay more TAX than your income will be!

4.6. Available Streets
Maybe there will not be your street available because someone already bought it, but later there will be more problems. You have to look hard for expensive streets (or look in the threads ;-). But there are always streets waiting for you buying them. Note that not every street on the world are in the game.

5. Chance Cards
These cards are given away randomly. They can give or take money or if you have luck, you will get a special building card. Place bonus buildings on your street and hazard buildings on your enemys street.

5.1. Bonus building
Placing a bonus building on one of your streets, will protect them from hazards. Try to place bonus buildings on all of your expensive streets.

5.2. Hazards and Bulldoze Cards
Place Hazard buildings on your opponents street to block their rent. With Bulldoze Cards you can remove bonus buildings from other streets, to place a hazard building. But be aware, he or she can take revenge!

5.3 Sell bonus buildings
You can't sell any hazard- or bonus building.

6. Features
There are a couple of ingame features. You can add other players as a friend, view the leaderboard, read in game-mails, search streets and view your streets.

6.1.Leaderboard
The leaderboard is divided into friends, local, national and worldwide. Just click it to view the players profile. The Scores are updated every day.

7. Basic Rules
The only rule is that you are not allowed to cheat (and the limit per accounts on one pc). You have to earn your money like everyone else! For each IP (or PC) there are only 5 accounts allowed! Cheaters will be banned.

8. The END of the game
Yes, there is an end date set. January 31, 2010, if they don't change it. Hope they will never end this!
