As my teammate 32 00:02:53,340 --> 00:02:59,139 already mentioned, this game introduces the financial aspects, as well as the 33 00:02:59,139 --> 00:03:04,139 game I'm going to talk about now, which is Findemesh. The similarities of both 34 00:03:04,139 --> 00:03:09,979 games is basically, as I mentioned, the financial aspects, in which in both you 35 00:03:09,979 --> 00:03:16,319 have to choose the different money that the game brings you. What is the main 36 00:03:16,319 --> 00:03:22,379 difference of these games principally is that the monopoly is like in a huge 37 00:03:22,379 --> 00:03:29,580 amount because you can buy for example different streets or more important 38 00:03:29,580 --> 00:03:34,560 properties but in the game we have here in Spain fin de mes is just about 39 00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:40,139 financial aspects of the daily life like for example paying the rent, cleaning 40 00:03:40,139 --> 00:03:49,319 clothing or go shopping and you have to survive. Finally in both games you have 41 00:03:49,319 --> 00:03:55,439 to experiment with money so it's what it makes them similar besides they also 42 00:03:55,439 --> 00:04:01,500 have a similar a boarding table in which you play and more or less and both have 43 00:04:01,500 --> 00:04:06,300 different invented currencies.
