Cape Town will be among the more expensive cities in the Monopoly Here and Now World Edition Game board, coming in ahead of cities such as New York (10), Sydney (11) Rome (14) and Barcelona (19).
Representing the most expensive properties however are the Canadian city of Montreal and Latvia’s capital city, Riga, who claimed the top two spots.
