Already a year after the World edition, the whole world contributed to by voting, it was published Hasbro to come with another novelty now surprising the whole world with a 
complete new design of the original game of constructing houses and hotels on streets. Although ..... I would not be surprised the three-dimensional game
Hotel from 1996, from MB-games (from Hasbro as well), was the inspiration for the designers of this Monopoly theme edition.
Note: Remarkable to see that in passing Parker's logo totally disappeared from the box of this issue, only the Hasbro logo left. Does this say something for the future?


Dimensions of the box: 40,0 x 26,8 x 6,6 cm
The game: 
The lid of the box already enthusiasticly shows it to be a three-dimensional happening, where the game board's midfield is used 
to build buildings of the district on. The district of each field with color bar is always in its close proximity. 
Inside the innerbox is a large tray of black plastic for the storage of the 80 3-D buildings to be built in the districts. There are:

It appears to be nice to play with high buildings and skyscrapers, but it is not likely to be practical because they don't stand very stable. In the otherwise 
carefully edited  Rules booklet is advised to roll the dice in the lid "so that you don't knock any buildings over!". It would have been better to stick the buildings 
magnetically to the board.

In contrast to the classic edition you don't need to collect all streets of one color, but may immediately start to build on one district to a maximum of 8 blocks. That 
can be residential buildings as well as industrial buildings or a combination of both.
Residential buildings are cheaper than industrial buildings, but in case another player builds a hazard (a black building) in your district residential blocks in that 
district become worthless and do not count towards its rent  value. However, you can remove this hazard from your district by paying to the bank.
On the other hand you can prevent opponents to build hazards in your districts by building yourself a red bonus building. 
Hazards and bonus buildings are for free and do not count for the 8-block building limit per district. By the way, you may only build these bonus buildings and hazards 
when you land on a planning permission space (the former stations).

The designers of this version invented another instrument again to be used with this edition. This time no card reader but a trading unit with an auction button  
and a build button:

When this trading unit has been put on it will give a signal after playing for an hour. In case you like to play for another hour you have to swich the trading unit off 
and on once again.

How are the buildings used and what do they contribute to the rent income per district?

Because there is no room anymore on the midfield of the board, the only stack of cards (only Chance cards) must be placed somewhere alongside the game 
board. There are a few cards with well-known instructions, but the most are typical for this game, like:

There is one special card in this game, Rent Dodge!, you only get on landing on the Free Parking corner. You have, however, to use it before an other player 
lands on that corner, because in that case you have to give the card that player.

The 7 banknotes are in a stack with codenr. 100017900000. They are the modern banknotes with ridiculous and particularly superfluous high values that for 
that purpose are being presented shortenedly with 1k for 1000 Monopoly dollars. What could have been the deeper thoughts of the designers?
The bills are printed in black on colored paper. The denominations are: 10k (white) - 50k - 100k - 200k - 500k - 1M and 5M.

There is a "Reminder Card" for each of the 6 players. That apparently means the Rules are that complicated that such a help is needed! With the description 
above you can decide yourself if you agree. 

The price of this game was at the introduction in Europe €49.95 and $34.99 in the USA.

  Some editions from over the whole world, in order of number of country:

 

America + Singapore:
     Name of the version: CITY -  Ref.Nr.120801790284
                    
     The edition with the number 
     mentioned is called the 
     American version on Internet, 
     what seems to be very 
     acceptable because all 
     American editions still show 
     the blue Parker logo.
     On the other hand country number 
     284 point at Singapore, while America 
     itself has country number 000.

                                                                                     Name of the version: CITY -  Ref.Nr.00232100

               The districts in this version in a tin are of course the same as those of the earlier set.

               The tin is in a cardboard "jacket".

               There have been 2 buildings added to this edition: A Casino and a Zoo, both in
               blue green.

               Although the packing shows a date July.2009 this edition however, was not available 
               in Germany until January 2010.
               
               Like with the Hungarian issue of the CITY edition the designers have dropped 
               a stitch, what apparently was not recognized before the game went into production: 
               In the Jail-corner ought to be shown "Nur zu Besuch" but it says "Zu nur zu Besuch".

The designers of this Hungarian game board have dropped a stitch: The fact is the Start corner of the board shows Strat and so this error 
appears wherever the picture of the board is shown, such as on the lid, the bottom of the box and on page 4 of the Rules. It is however, correctly 
written in the text, like on the Szerencse kártya (the Chance cards) and in the Rules.
