Raumapeli társasjáték

Angol leírás

This is the Rauma version of the Kaupunkipelit (City Games) series. The town of Rauma, on the west coast of Finland at the Bay of Bothnia, is a historical maritime town and seaport now known mainly for it's paper and pulp industry, close south to the town of Pori (also featured in the series) - and in many instances a rival to it!

Kaupunkipelit 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. and were designed as a fund raising effort for local sports clubs.

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.
