Monuments of Quadropolis
From the ancient pyramids of Gizah to the modern Opera House of Sydney, people from all around the world have always built monuments to commemorate, celebrate or host special events.
In Quadropolis, Monuments are rare buildings that allow you to score victory points when placed next to parks, shops, or public services. Be careful though, because placing them next to harbors or factories would only bring you negative points! They are only used in the Expert Mode, along with Office Towers.
The special Monuments listed below may be used instead of the standard Quadropolis Monuments in Expert Mode.
If you want to play with these special Monuments, gather all standard Monument Tiles at game start. Check the unique ID number on the back of each tile, and replace each Monument tile with its special Monument equivalent (which has the same number plus an additional letter).
Monuments that have the same ID number cannot coexist, even if the final letter is different.
Special Monuments score points exactly like standard Monuments.
