Monopoly is a popular board game for two to six players in which players compete to become the wealthiest player by buying, selling, and trading properties, collecting rent, and completing other actions as determined by the roll of the dice.
The game is played on a board featuring a layout of different properties, and players move around the board according to the roll of the dice, taking actions based on the space they land on.
How to play Monopoly:
The game is played on a board featuring a layout of different properties, including streets, railroads, and utilities. The properties are grouped into different colors, and players can buy properties by paying the bank the price listed on the space.
- To start the game, each player selects a game piece and places it on the “Go” space on the game board. The players then take turns rolling the two six-sided dice and moving their game piece the number of spaces indicated on the dice.
- The game is played in rounds, and each player takes a turn in clockwise order. On their turn, a player rolls the dice and moves their game piece the number of spaces indicated by the roll.
- If the player lands on a property that is not owned by another player, they have the option to buy the property from the bank. If the player chooses not to buy the property, it is put up for auction and the other players can bid on it.
- If the player lands on a property that is owned by another player, they must pay the owner rent according to the amount listed on the space. If the player lands on a utility or a railroad, they must pay the owner a rent based on the number of utilities or railroads owned by the owner.
- If the player lands on a “Chance” or “Community Chest” space, they must draw a card from the corresponding deck and follow the instructions on the card. These cards can have a variety of effects, such as forcing the player to pay money to the bank or to another player, or allowing the player to collect money from the bank or another player.
- If the player lands on a “Tax” space, they must pay the amount of tax indicated on the space to the bank.
- If the player lands on a “Go to Jail” space,
- Players can go bankrupt if they owe more money than they have, and they are eliminated from the game if they go bankrupt.
- The game continues until all but one player goes bankrupt or until a predetermined number of rounds have been played, and the player with the most money at the end of the game wins.
