Game Overview The idea of the game is to move around the board and purchases property (hidden value) in an attempt to have the most money and combined property value by the end of the game (all property is sold). Players have to be aware of their purchases to make sure they have enough money in the correct account to be able to pay bills and property purchases. There are also various ways to exchange, trade or sell property. Plus there are three slightly different auction systems (Bank, Secret Bid and private auction) that allow players to bid on a property owned by the bank or other players.
