CityBusiness Oulu (2012)

This is the Oulu version of the CityBusiness game series. Oulu, up in the northern Bay of Bothnia, was formerly known mainly as a seaport especially for the tar trade, but is now the 5th largest city in Finland and the hub of the 4th largest urban area, known for it's university and the vigorous industrial and business growth of the area, especially in new technologies.

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.
