How to Customize Rules in Monopoly Streets for Wii

When Charles Darrow invented the game of Monopoly in 1934, he created a bestselling game that has been produced in 37 languages and sold in 103 countries. In 2010, Electronic Arts honored Monopoly̵7;s 75th birthday by creating a 3D video game. One of the features of the game is the ability for players to choose one of Monopoly̵7;s variations of the original rules, or create your own.
