Usual rules of Monopoly apply for the standard game. Alternatively, finish the game when all 22 wonders have been visited and marked on their passport by any player. The player with most money, wins.

A much shorter though interesting adaptation of the classic game. The centre of the game board features a map of the World with numbers corresponding to wonders shown on the board;
- Niagara Falls, Mount Everest, Great Barrier Reef, Grand Canyon, Angel Falls, Cristo Redentor, Eiffel Tower, Colosseum, Stonehenge, Taj Mahal, Moai Statues, Machu Picchu, Angkor Wat, Petra, Great Wall of China, Pharos Alexandria, Colossus Rhodes, Mausoleum Halicarnassus, Statue of Zeus Olympia, Temple of Artemis Ephesus, Hanging Gardens of Babylon and the Great Pyramid of Giza.

The 4 traditional railway stations have been replaced by airports;
- Amsterdam Schipol, Paris Charles de Gaulle, Rhein Frankfurt and London Heathrow.

The 2 utilities are now foreign exchange and travel agent.
Chance and community chest cards include information relevant to world travel.

Each passport includes a miniature picture of the game board with tick boxes for each property to enable players to record their visits.
