The banker will make all financial transactions throughout the game.

Game Play: The official monopoly board game rules states that starting with the banker, each player takes turns tossing the dice. The highest rolling player begins and game play continues to his left. Rolling doubles results in another turn. Three doubles in a row will take you immediately to Jail. Each time a player passes 'GO' he/she receives $200 from the banker. Rules of buying property are if you land on an unowned space, the player may buy it at the shown price. If you do not want to buy the property, the banker holds an auction and the highest bidder wins.

The deed is then given to it's owner. Rent is charged and collected by the owner to anyone who lands on that property as listed per deed. If all deed of the same color are owned, double is charged (with no houses or hotels). If property is mortgaged, no rent is collected nor double rent (if applies) can be charged. Houses can be purchased if a monopoly of same colored properties are owned by the same player. Houses must be built evenly on all 3 or 2 deeds and hotels can be bought after four houses have been built. One hotel takes the place of 4 houses.

Deeds give instructions on house and hotel costs. Selling either of which after purchased will only result in half of what was given.

Sorry, those are the rules! Unimproved properties may be mortgaged at any time to the bank. Paying mortgaged property back results in a 10% added interest on mortgage price.

When a player lands on a Chance or Community Chest space, the top card is taken, obeyed, and placed at the bottom of the pile. 'Get out of Jail' cards can be kept or sold until used. Contrary to many 'invented' rules or instructions, Free Parking is only a resting place where no money is awarded. Jail rules are such that one must be sent there by a card, rolling 3 doubles or by landing on the 'Go to Jail' space.

Player cannot collect $200 and their turn ends. The Monopoly player has 2 options, roll dice to get out of jail with doubles or pay $50. If three turns go by and player is still in jail, he/she must pay $50 and is released playing the number rolled on the dice. While in jail, one can still buy/sell houses or hotels and collect rent. When a player fails to be able to pay off debts to the bank or other players, he declares bankruptcy and is out of the game. • • • • • • • •.

I loved playing Monopoly back in the day - it's been a long time.I remember hearing that sometimes people could go on for all day or even 'days' playing Monopoly. When I was young & 1st heard that idea I thought it was crazy, but later on I realized that that could be a pretty interesting experience, especially given the right circumstances & the right kind of people - definitely not boring, low-attention span types or people who don't like doing stuff in the 1st place.it is fun for families, that's true, but also for 3-4 friends, in college, co-workers, etc. It can really be a interesting challenge.

And what is this with taking the classic 'Iron' token away and replacing it w/some banal piece after all these years??? Who said that would be good? I'd much rather find an old version of the game that had the old iron token (the one shaped like an iron). No reason to make meaningless changes now!

Monopoly Here and Now is an updated version of the real-estate game with money that reflects today's economy as well as properties based on famous United States landmarks. Gameplay is still similar to earlier versions of the game with players purchasing property and attempting to bankrupt their opponents. Setting Up Set up the game by having each player choose a token and place it on “Go.” One player will act as the banker and be in charge of handing out and taking money. Each player begins with fifteen million dollars, which should the banker should hand out with two each of the $5,000,000, $1,000,000 and $500,000 bills, six $200,000 bills, and five each of the $100,000, $50,000, and $10,000 bills. Each player rolls the dice, with the highest roller going first. Game Play The first player begins by rolling both dice and moving that number of spaces on the board.

No properties can be bought during the first trip around the board. On the second trip, properties can be purchased by paying the banker the amount listed on the space. The player will be awarded the Deed to the property and any player who lands on that space will owe rent to the owner. If a player purchases all the available property of one color, he can build up to four houses or one hotel on each property, which means players will need to pay more rent to the owner. Owning any of the four Airports or the two service providers will also award players money, though no houses or hotels can be built on these spaces.

Special Spaces If a player lands on “Go To Jail” they must go to the “Jail” space and remain there until they either roll doubles, use a “Get Out of Jail Free” card or pay $500,000. If after three turns you are still in jail, you will have to pay $500,000 and then roll to move. Landing on the “Free Parking” space yields no punishment or reward. This space offers a brief reprieve for players. Any time a player lands on “Go” or passes it by, they are awarded $2,000,000 from the bank. This money is not awarded if the player passes “Go” on his way to jail.

Landing on either Community Chest or Chance will allow you to draw one card from the corresponding pile. These cards might award you with money, give you “Get Out of Jail Free” card or force you to pay money to other players. Landing on the Income Tax or Credit Card Interest space will require you to pay the listed sum of money to the bank. Winning The winner is either the last player to be left with money or the player with the most money at the end of a set amount of time. During the game, if a player runs out of money they can mortgage property to the bank for extra money. Mortgaged property does not accrue rent so any player who lands on this space does not owe money to the owner.
