They are mine to either make spectacular, neglect, or even turn around and sell for a quick profit! Since Monopoly City Streets is based on Google Maps and OpenStreetMaps, the developers have turned “the globe into one giant game board!” On that game board, players start off with $3 million monopoly money to begin making street purchases. The game allows searches as broad as looking for cities and as narrow as specific addresses. When a purchase is made, the “money” is debited from the “account” and the street is marked on the map as purchased.
