Caldwell, Marion Lee. “Parents, Board Games, and Mathematical Learning.” Teaching Children Mathematic, Feb 28. P. 365 A classic Monopoly board can be said to have 40 squares, although only the corner spaces are actually square! It's immediately clear that the board is heavily skewed to the West End.

If you do not want to buy it, the Banker sells it at an auction to all players. The bidding for this auction may start at any price. The player who landed on this property may join in this auction even though they originally said they didn't want to buy the property.

BUY, SELL, AND TRADE TO WIN: Players compete to buy out neighborhoods, sell properties, charge rent, and grow an empire in the Monopoly game for adults and kids ages 8 and up The game only comes with 32 houses and 12 hotels. If the Bank runs out of houses or hotels, no players may build any more of them until the Bank gets more of them (for example, if players sell them or exchange houses for a hotel). If there are only a few buildings left in the Bank and more than one player wants to buy them, the Banker must sell them at an auction to the players who want them. More than 100 different Monopoly Board UK versions have been made covering many cities and towns across the UK. Several themed editions have been made, like the London Underground version and the Olympic Games 2012 edition.

Place names based on Atlantic City would have very little resonance for someone in the UK. In addition to localized versions, the fame of Monopoly means that companies and institutions wanting to create a branded or themed version often look to Monopoly as their first choice.
