Rather than buying streets or train stations, players can buy different stretches and corners of the track instead like Flugplatz or Flanzgarten.

Other than that, the board game comes with 28 ownership cards, 16 community cards, 16 event cards, and a standard set of Monopoly money. The rules of the game remain the same as well. There’s still a jail, a free parking spot, a police, and a Go square.
