Venues are real places around you and selected from OpenStreetMap (under the ODbL license) and Regione Lombardia (under the IODL 2.0 license): shops, restaurants, monuments, etc.; to create your venues' portfolio, you can visit them and discover if they are free or owned by someone else. If the venue is free and you have enough money, you can buy it; otherwise, if the venue is owned by another player, you spin the wheel to see what's your destiny. You earn money by helping advertising or answering questions about venues; if you are lucky you can take the ownership from another player, if not you must pay a fee.
For every venue you own, you will receive a daily bonus. Don't you have enough money to buy a venue or pay the rent? You can sell your venues or mortgage them to get 50% of their value immediately. But do not forget to redeem the mortgage within the expiry date or you will lose the ownership. Remember! Insert the most precise information you know about venues, because your actions determine your destiny: inaccurate information will be discovered and you will be penalized over time. On the contrary, genuine collaboration will be rewarded.
