To mark the iconic board game’s 80th anniversary, many cities have been crowned with spots on the ‘Here and Now: World Edition,’ but Indian ones still haven’t passed “GO” on the board game.

The game, which will be available to the public in September, works a little differently this time around as instead of racing to buy real estate, players must visit as many locations as possible, where they will collect passport stamps along the journey, News.com.au reported.

Instead of paying rent, visitors who land on spots they don’t “own” must pay “visitor fees” and the first player to fill their passport wins.

Dark Blue: Lima, Peru; Hong Kong, China

Green: Riga, Latvia; Lisbon, Portugal; Istanbul, Turkey
