Many cities have scored spots on the 'Here and Now

Sydney's placement is on the lower end of the scale and has scored a spot on the magenta end of town and its neighbourhood is also represented by New York and Amsterdam, News.com.au reported.

However, in a strange twist, Mayfair (dark blue) went to Lima, Riga is in Latvia and that scored one of the uber exclusive green spots. Belgrade, Lisbon and Warsaw also scored the expensive end of town.

To be fair, the game does work a little differently this time around. Instead of racing to buy real estate, players must visit as many locations as possible, where they will collect passport stamps along the journey.

Instead of paying rent, visitors who land on spots they don't "own" must pay "visitor fees." The first player to fill their passport wins.
