Description

Gay-themed Monopoly variant published in a limited edition.

With Homonopolis you'll be bar-hopping in Amsterdam and be visiting the various gay venues. Different things will happen on the way, not only brought to you by the Social Service cards and Now What!? cards, but also by your own ingenuity in negotiations with your fellow players.

You can buy bars and other properties when you land on them. Note that you can only start to buy when you have run the total board at least once! Selling and negotiating is only allowed when it is your turn and before you have thrown the dice. Players are obliged to follow instructions such as Now What!? and Go To SM-Cellar.
