Description

This is the Lappi version of the CityBusiness game series.

Unlike most games in the series, this one is not centered on a single city/town but rather a wider geographic area - in this case, the whole of Finnish Lapland.

CityBusiness is a series of games, each of which is basically a light version of Monopoly localized to a city/region of Finland. The games promote local companies, councils, educational institutes etc.

The main differences between these games and Monopoly are:

• Instead of a "street" each square on the board represents a local business.
• There are no hotels or houses, but each square has two title deeds instead of just one, allowing two players to jointly own any location on the board.
• The majority of the event cards are trivia questions about the locality the game is set in.
• While the effects of the first two corner squares (Go and Jail in Monopoly) remain the same for every edition (Go and Stock Market Crash), the effect of the other two corners varies from edition to edition and is the only real difference between them (except for the trivia content, of course). They are typically also local businesses but without title deeds and thus no rent either, but some special effect instead, such as pass a turn or get an extra throw.
