How much money is there in the game monopoly? Detailed rules of the game

Board game "Monopoly"

Hello again, my dear friends! While continuing to introduce you to exciting board games, I simply cannot ignore the classics of economic board games.

Yes Yes, we're talking about about the world-favorite Monopoly, released by Hasbro. It rightfully leads in demand among all board economic games, as it combines not only entertainment, but also educational functions.

My review of the game Monopoly

Monopoly board game set

We have a classic version of the board game. It is packaged in a fairly large box made of thick laminated cardboard. Inside you will find:

• ten game pieces of different shapes;
• a set of banknotes of different denominations;
• complete game guide;
• playing field;
• 32 house chips;
• 16 cards "Chance"
• 16 “Common Treasury” cards;
• 12 hotel cards;
• a pair of dice;
• 28 cards confirming ownership of plots.

Every element of the game is made of very high quality. The chips are moderately small, light and durable. The cards and playing field are made of durable cardboard, and all the pictures and letters on them are carefully printed. I would like to draw your attention to the pleasant colors and impeccable printing quality - even with regular use of the game, the letters and images on the cards and on the field do not get erased.

You can understand the rules of Monopoly directly during the gameplay. To diversify the leisure time of the participants, the manufacturers of this board have come up with a lot of interesting loopholes and additional opportunities for each player.

Rules of the game

You can play Monopoly with a group of two to ten people. Here, each participant can enrich themselves and create their own empire by purchasing real estate and collecting fees from other players. But improper resource planning and many other factors can lead not only to enrichment, but also to complete bankruptcy. The main goal of the Monopoly game is to become the most influential owner of the majority of land plots and at the same time ruin the other participants in the game.

The playing field is laid out in the middle of the table. All participants choose one chip for themselves and appoint a banker who gives everyone a certain amount of money. The stacks of “Chance” and “Total Treasury” cards are individually shuffled and placed in their respective places on the playing field.
The right to make the first move is determined by rolling the dice - who gets higher value, he starts the game. At the beginning, all participants place their chips on the square labeled “Forward”.

Then the one who has the right to make the first move rolls the dice and moves the chip to the same number of cells as the number of points that fell during the throw. Then he can act depending on the type of cell he lands on:

Cell with a plot of real estate. The player can redeem it by transferring money to the banker and receiving in return a card confirming ownership of the plot. Now all players who land on this square will have to pay a certain tax to its owner. If the one who walks refuses to buy the property, the banker puts it up for auction among other participants. The owner becomes the one who offers the highest amount.

Cell "Chance". The player takes one card from the Chance pile and reads what is written on it.

Instructions on such cards may give the participant the right to early release from prison, require him to receive or pay money to the treasury, move his chip a certain number of spaces, or send the cardholder to prison.

"Public Treasury". These cards are practically no different from “Chance”.

Utility company. If this square has not yet been bought by another participant, the player who came to it can buy the enterprise by paying the specified price for it. If he does not want to pay, then the ownership is put up for auction.

Railway station. The principle of operation is the same as for the cells of utility companies and real estate.

Tax field. Having stopped at such a cell, the player must pay the amount indicated on it to the general treasury.

Jail. You can be on this square if this indication was on the “Chance” card or

"Public Treasury", if the player lands on the “Go to Jail” field or rolls the same number of points three times in a row during one turn.

There are several ways to get out of prison:

• missing three moves and paying a fine of 50 thousand;
• remaining on the prison cell and skipping a turn, roll the dice in turn each time. If you get a double,
• you can leave prison without paying a fine and move the chip the number of moves that appear on the dice;
• use the "Get Out of Jail" card. You can use your own card or buy it from one of the other players at a negotiated price.

After the player has purchased ownership of all real estate plots of one color range, he can buy houses for them and put them on his cages. This will increase the rent for being on the field. In this case, the following rules should be observed:

1. houses cannot be built on any field if at least one piece of real estate in a given color group is mortgaged;
2. You cannot place a second house on any plot until one house has been built on each cell of the color group. The same rule applies to the acquisition of third and subsequent houses;
3. A maximum of four houses can be built on each plot.

After developing all the plots of his real estate, the player can put hotels on them. This is another type of ownership that also increases rent from other participants.

Sometimes you may encounter a shortage of houses in the game. When almost all participants are actively developing their plots, there may not be any free chips left. In this case, all that remains is to wait until one of the rivals, feeling a lack of money, pledges their houses to the bank.

The average time for each game of Monopoly depends on the number of players. Two people can play it indefinitely (our record is three and a half hours of fierce battle), and in a large group the game can end within half an hour.

The main advantages of Monopoly

This is for real family game, which is suitable for children from eight to nine years old and is no less interesting for adults. In addition, the following advantages can be noted:

• the uniqueness of each batch. There will be no identical situations here, since each game depends on the player’s strategy, on the “behavior” of the dice, on what “Chance” the participant gets, and on many other factors;
• opportunity in game form teach children strategy and budget planning;
  ample opportunities for variety of gameplay.

The standard version of Monopoly is unlikely to be taken with you on a trip, since its box is quite bulky. There is a special travel edition for this purpose.

You can spend many exciting hours playing this game, fighting with friends or family members. I definitely recommend Monopoly to all lovers of interesting and thoughtful board games with an economic slant.

If you are buying Monopoly as a gift for someone, the store has a great option - you can write the recipient’s name on the box and the gift will immediately become unique and personal.

Board game "Monopoly: Millionaire" This is a modern version of everyone's favorite game. One of the most popular economic games for fun company and a great family holiday. The board game introduces the player to basic knowledge economy and entrepreneurial activity. The version differs from the classic Monopoly only in the purpose of the game. The rules of the game are the same. The level of difficulty (from easy to difficult) depends on the version of the game and may vary.

Goal in the board game Monopoly

Become a millionaire. In the classic version of Monopoly, you need to capture all the companies in a certain industry (become a “monopoly”) and ruin your rivals.

Board game Monopoly: game rules

• The game is intended for 2-6 players.
• Before the game, each player receives starting capital, which he can invest in an insurance policy or shares.
• In the game, each player has his own specific role. For example, a stockbroker monitors all financial transactions in the game and so on.
• Monopoly is played on a square playing field consisting of nine sectors. Each sector symbolizes a specific industry. The 2nd-3rd companies are given eight industries and they are located close to each other. In the center playing field is the main industry, which is the most expensive in the game. Her four companies are also located next to her on each side of the playing field.
• To move around the playing field, players roll 2 dice one by one.
• The player moves his pieces based on the points rolled on the dice.
• The game begins from the field called “Start” and moves further clockwise.
• If a player throws a double, then he goes again.
• If a player throws a double three times in a row, he is sent to the police.
• Each cell on the field corresponds to a specific company card with a specified price list for rent, purchase price and property taxes.
• There are also cells on the playing field called “Chance” and “Fortune”, which are an addition and give the player orders. These instructions may or may not be very useful. For example, deprivation of shares, tax exemption.
• If a player, during his turn, stops on a cell of the field with free real estate, then he can purchase it or refuse to purchase it.
• If a player, during his turn, stopped at a cell of “someone else’s” real estate, then he will have to pay rental services to the owner.
• For each completed circle on the playing field, the player receives a bonus and pays taxes when moving the cell " Tax office" This field is located next to the “Start” field. You won't miss it.
• On the opposite side is the “Tax Police”. If a player hits it, he will have to throw the dice 3 times in a row until a double is rolled out. If this does not happen, then the player must pay a fine in order to leave the field of the police station.
• There is an additional “Jackpot” cell on the playing field. If the player hits it, he makes a bet, lays out his money and rolls 1 die 3 times in a row. If you have a winning combination, your money is multiplied by this coefficient. If not, then the money remains in the “Jackpot”.
• The insured event in the Monopoly game is the lack of money to cover expenses. This may include paying rent or taxes. If there is an insurance policy, then the player can save himself from the current situation.
• A player who owns all companies in one industry becomes a monopolist and can acquire branches. This means that he has the right to increase the rent for all “guests” who come to his site. But at the same time, property taxes also increase and the player will have to pay more to the tax authorities.

1. Place houses, hotels, ownership documents and money (at face value) in separate sectors of the playing field.
There is a diagram on the board showing the correct placement of all game pieces.

2. Separate the Chance cards, shuffle them, and place them back-side up on the appropriate areas of the game board.

3. Separate the Community Chest cards, shuffle them, and place them back-side up on the appropriate areas of the game board.

4.Each player chooses a playing chip and places it on the “FORWARD” field.

5. Banker and Bank

One of the players is chosen as the Banker. If there are more than 5 players in the game. The banker can, at his discretion, limit himself to only this role in the game.
The banker gives each of the players 1,500 thousand rubles in the following coupons:

• Two bills of 10 thousand rubles
• Four bills of 100 thousand rubles
• One bill of 20 thousand rubles
• One banknote of 50 thousand rubles
• Two bills of 500 thousand rubles
• One 5 thousand ruble bill
• Five bills of 1 thousand rubles

In addition to money, the Bank also has cards for Title Deeds, Houses and Hotels until they are purchased by the players. The bank also pays salaries and bonuses, gives loans secured by real estate and collects all taxes, fines, returns loans and interest on them. During an auction, the Banker acts as an auctioneer.

A bank can never go bankrupt, but it can issue as much money as needed in the form of IOUs written on a regular piece of paper.

6. Players roll both dice. The one who got the first one starts the game greatest number points. The player to his left will be next, then the next one, and so on.

PROGRESS OF THE GAME

When it's your turn, roll both dice and move your piece forward along the board in the direction indicated by the arrow. The field you land on determines what you need to do. Several chips can be on one field at the same time. Depending on what field you find yourself on, you will have to:

Buy plots for construction or other real estate
- pay rent if you find yourself on the property owned by others
- pay taxes
- pull out a Chance or Community Treasury card
- end up in prison
- relax in the free parking lot
- receive a salary of 200 thousand rubles

Same number of points on both dice

If you roll the dice and they both come up with the same number of points, move your piece and act according to the space you land on. You then have the right to roll the dice again. If you get the same number of points on both dice three times in a row, you immediately go to Prison.

Passing the field "FORWARD"

Every time you stop or pass through the “FORWARD” field, moving in the direction indicated by the arrow, the Bank pays you 200 thousand rubles. It is possible to receive this amount twice in the same turn if, for example, you find yourself on the Chance or Community Treasury board, immediately after the Forward board, and draw a card that says “Move to the FORWARD board.”

If you land on a space that represents an unoccupied Property (i.e. a Building Lot for which no other player has a Title Deed), you will have first choice to purchase it. If you decide to buy Real Estate, pay the Bank the money in the amount indicated on this playing field. In exchange, you will receive a Document of Title to this Property, which you must place in front of you with the text facing up. If you decide not to purchase the Property, the Banker must immediately put it up for auction and sell it to the highest bidder, starting from whatever price one player is willing to pay. Even though you refused to purchase the Property at the original price, you can take part in the auction.

Ownership of Real Estate.

Owning a Property will give you the right to collect rent from any “tenants” who stay in the space that marks it. It is very profitable to own all the Real Estate of one color group - in other words, own a monopoly. If you own an entire color group, you can build houses on any Property of that color.

Stopping at someone else's Property.

If you stop at a Property that was previously purchased by another player, you may be required to pay rent for that stop. The player who owns this Property must ask you to pay the rent before the next player rolls the dice. The amount payable is set out in the Title Deed for the Property and may vary depending on the number of buildings constructed thereon. If all the Properties of one color group are owned by one player, the rent you will be charged for stopping on any undeveloped property of that group is doubled. However, if the owner of an entire color group has at least one parcel of the Property in that group mortgaged, he cannot charge you double rent. If Houses and Hotels have been built on the Property plots, the rent will increase, which will be shown on the Title Deed for that Property. No rent will be charged for staying on the mortgaged Property.

Stop at a utility field.

If you land on one of these fields, you can buy that Utility if no one has already bought it. As with the purchase of other Real Estate, pay the Bank the amount indicated in this field. If this Property has already been purchased by another player, he can demand rent from you in accordance with the number of points that rolled on the dice when you made the move that brought you to this field. If the other player owns only one of the Utilities, the rent will be four times the number of points rolled on the dice. If he owns both Utilities, you must pay him an amount equal to ten times the number of points rolled. If you are placed on this space as a result of the instructions on the Chance or Community Chest card you drew, you must roll the dice to determine how much you will have to pay. If you decide not to buy this Property, the Banker puts the Utility Company up for auction and sells it to the player who gives the highest amount for it. You too can take part in the auction.

Stop at the Station.

If you are the first to land on such a field, you will have the opportunity to buy this station. Otherwise, the Bank puts it up for auction, even if you refused to purchase it at the original price, you can also take part in the auction. If the Station already has an owner when you arrive at it, you will need to pay the amount stated on the Title Deed. The amount to be paid depends on the number of other Stations owned by the player who owns the Station you are staying at.

Stop at the "Odds" and "Public Treasury" fields.

Stopping on such a field means that you need to take the top card from the corresponding pile. These cards may require you to:

Moved your chip;
- paid money - for example taxes;
- received money;
- went to Prison;
- were freed from prison.

You must immediately follow the instructions on the card and place the card on the bottom of the appropriate pile. If you pick up a card that says "Get Out of Jail Free", you can keep it until you need it, or you can sell it to another player for a mutually agreed upon price.

Note: The card may indicate that you must move your piece to another space. If during the movement you pass through the “FORWARD” field, you will receive 200 thousand rubles. If you are sent to Prison, you do not go through the "GO" box.

Stop at the Tax Field.

If you choose such a field, you just need to pay the appropriate amount to the Bank.

Free parking.

If you land on such a field, simply rest until your next turn. You are here for free and are not subject to any penalties, you can enter into transactions as usual (for example, collect rent, build buildings on the Property you own, etc.).

Jail.

You will be sent to prison if:
- you will stop at the “Go to Prison” field, or
- you took a Chance or Public Treasury card that says “Go to Jail”, or
- you have the same number of points on both dice three times in a row in one turn.

Your turn ends when you are sent to Jail. If you end up in Prison, you cannot receive a salary of 200 thousand rubles, regardless of where you are on the playing field.

To get out of Prison, you need:

Pay a fine of 50 thousand rubles and continue playing when it’s your turn, or buy a “Get Out of Jail Free” card from another player at a mutually agreed upon price and use it to free yourself, or
- use the “Get Out of Jail Free” card if you already have one, or
- stay here, skipping your next three moves, but every time it comes to your turn to roll the dice in one of these moves, you will get the same number of points, you can leave the Prison and go through the number of fields that appears on the dice.

After you have missed three turns while in Prison, you must leave the prison and pay 50 thousand rubles before you can move your chip to the number of spaces that appear on the dice.

While in Prison, you may receive rent for your Property if it is not mortgaged. If you were not "sent to Jail" but simply stopped on the "Jail" space during the game, you do not pay any penalty since you "Just stopped in" for a while. On your next turn, you can move.

At home.

Once you have all the Property lots in the same color group, you can buy Houses to place on any of your existing lots. This will increase the rent you can charge from tenants staying at your Property. The price of the home is shown on the relevant Title Deed. You can buy houses during your turn or between other players' turns, but you must build your plots evenly: you cannot build a second house on any of the plots of the same color group until you have built one House on each of the plots of this color group, the third - until two have been built on each, and so on: the maximum number of Houses on one plot is four. Houses also need to be sold evenly. You can buy or sell Houses at any time, and as much as you see fit, and as your financial position. You cannot build Houses, but you can receive double rent from any player staying on any of the undeveloped Property lots in your color group.

Hotels.

Before you can buy Hotels, you need to have four Houses on each lot of a color group that you completely own. Hotels can be bought in the same way as Houses, but they cost four Houses, which are returned to the Bank, plus the price indicated in the Title Deed. Only one Hotel can be built on each site.

Lack of buildings.

If there are no Houses left in the Bank, you will have to wait until one of the other players returns their Houses to him. Likewise, if you sell Hotels, you cannot replace them with Houses unless you have any extra Houses in the Bank.

If there are only a limited number of Houses or Hotels left in the Bank, and two or more players want to buy more buildings than the Bank has, the Banker auctions off the buildings to be sold to the highest bidder, taking the starting price the one indicated on the relevant Document of Ownership.

Property For Sale.

You can sell undeveloped Lots, Train Stations and Utilities to any player by entering into a private deal with them for an amount agreed upon between you. However, you cannot sell a Plot to another player if there are any buildings on any other Plot of the same color group. If you want to sell any Lot of a color group that belongs to you, you first need to sell to the Bank all the buildings located on the Lots of this color group. Homes should be sold evenly, just as they were bought. (see “At Home” item above).

Houses and Hotels cannot be sold to other players. They should be sold to the Bank at a price two times less than that indicated in the relevant Document of Ownership. Buildings can be sold at any time.

When selling the Hotel, the Bank pays you half the cost of the four Houses that were given to the Bank when purchasing the Hotel. All Hotels of the same color group must be sold at the same time.

If necessary, in order for you to receive money, Hotels can be replaced with Houses again. To do this, you need to sell the Hotel to the Bank and receive in return four Houses plus half the cost of the Hotel itself.

Mortgaged Real Estate can only be sold to other players, but not to the Bank.

Pledge.

If you have no money left, but need to pay off your debts, you can get money by mortgaging some Real Estate. To do this, first sell to the Bank any buildings located on this plot of Real Estate. In order to mortgage the Real Estate, turn the Title Deed to it face down and obtain from the bank the amount of collateral indicated on back side cards. If you later want to pay off your debt to the Bank, you will need to pay it this amount plus 10% on top.

If you mortgage any Property, it still belongs to you. No other player can obtain it by paying the deposit amount to the Bank.

You cannot collect rent on a mortgaged Property, although rent may still flow to you for other Properties in the same color group.

You can sell the pledged Property to other players at a price agreed upon with them. The buyer can then decide to repay the debt taken on the security of this property by depositing the corresponding amount of the deposit plus 10% with the Bank. He can also pay only 10% and leave the Property as collateral. In this case, upon final removal of the collateral, you will have to pay another 10% to the Bank.

When none of the Lots in the same color group are mortgaged, the owner can begin purchasing Houses again at full price.

Bankruptcy.

If you owe the Bank or other players more money than you can get from your assets, you are declared bankrupt, and you are out of the game.

If you owe the Bank, the Bank receives all your money and Title Deeds. The Banker then auctions off each of the Properties to the highest bidder.

You must place the Get Out of Jail Free cards at the bottom of the appropriate pile.

If you become bankrupt due to debts to another player, your Houses and Hotels are sold to the Bank for half their original value, and your creditor receives all the money, Title Deeds, and Get Out of Jail Free cards you have. If you have any mortgaged Property, you must also transfer it to that player, he must immediately pay 10% on it to the Bank, and then decide whether he should immediately buy it back at full value or keep it as collateral.

Notes for the game.

If you owe more rent than you have on hand, you can pay your lender partly in cash and partly in Real Estate (i.e., undeveloped Building Lots). In this case, the lender may agree to accept a piece of Property (even if it is mortgaged) for a price much higher than what is listed on it, seeking to obtain additional Building Site or to prevent another player from establishing control over that Property.

If you own any Property, the responsibility to collect rent rests with you.

Money can be given in the form of a loan only by the Bank and only on the security of the Real Estate.

Neither player can borrow money from or lend money to another player.

Winner.

The last participant remaining in the game is the winner.

When choosing a board game, you should pay attention to Monopoly. This game is implemented in the genre of economic strategy. It involves two or more people. Monopoly, the rules of which may differ slightly in its various variants, is a playing field with certain squares along which players take turns. Dice are used to determine how many squares a player should advance. In the game you can buy, sell or rent real estate, thereby receiving a certain income.

The rules of the Monopoly game can be called quite complex. Board game, despite this, was very popular in the 20th century almost all over the world. Her the main objective- rationally use the capital received at the beginning, which is issued to all players in equal volume, and lead to bankruptcy of other participants.

Beginning of the game

The beginning of the game can be divided into the following stages:

1. Hotels, documents, houses and money should be placed in separate sectors. This will greatly simplify game process, when the necessary cards are in the place specially designated for them. Monopoly, the rules for placing cards in which are presented in the form of a specific diagram, has several types: some must be upside down.
2. The Chance cards must be shuffled and turned over before the game begins so that the players cannot see their meaning. The same should be done with Public Treasury cards.
3. Next, each player chooses a chip and places it on the starting cell.
4. Each world "Monopoly", the rules of the game of which are classical, provides for the presence of a Banker. If a large number of players are involved in the game, then the Banker, at his discretion, may not take part as a contender for victory. At the beginning of the game, he gives each player 1,500,000 rubles in various banknotes.
5. The banker also has all the ownership documents, hotels and houses at the beginning of the game. Also, the Banker's responsibilities include paying wages, bonuses, issuing loans and collecting fines, taxes, interest on the loan and the principal debt to the bank.
6. In some cases, the bank may not have any money, but the rules of the Monopoly game allow the Banker to issue IOUs, which are written on plain paper. The bank cannot go bankrupt.
7. To determine the turn order, all players roll the dice: the one with the highest number starts.

The easiest way to earn money

The general rules of Monopoly, by which you can ensure constant income in the game, are as follows:

1. All player chips at the beginning of the game are located on the “FORWARD” square (it may be called a little differently). After throwing the dice, you must move the piece along the board. The rules allow a player to purchase a field if it has not previously been occupied by another player. According to the terms of the game, the field initially belongs to the Bank.
2. If a player refuses to purchase a free field, then other participants can do so through an auction. In this case, the field goes to the one who offers the highest price for it. Monopoly, whose rules provide for the possibility of calculating costs and payback on a completed transaction, allows players to enter into an economic struggle even when it is not their turn.
3. After acquiring a square, the player can take certain rent from players if they happen to be on that square. In some cases, the rules of Monopoly allow the construction of houses and hotels on purchased squares, which allows them to charge higher rents.
4. If necessary, you can take out a loan from the bank to build houses or hotels.

The amount of rent, the rules for granting a loan - everything is described in the instructions of the cards.

Progress of the game

When the game progresses, you should roll the dice and move the chip a certain number of cells that corresponds to the number rolled. The field on which the chip lands determines possible or mandatory actions. In the main variety called "Classic Monopoly", the rules of the game are the same for all participants. They include the following possible actions:

1. Obtain a site for construction work or purchase real estate if the required amount is available.
2. If the cage belongs to another participant, then you will have to pay rent.
3. Using the "Chance" card.
4. Pay taxes.
5. Relax in the free parking lot.
6. End up in prison.
7. Get wages in the prescribed amount.

A special case in the game "Monopoly", the rules of which require the use of two dice, is when both have the same number of points. This situation allows you to make another move. If this is repeated three times in a row, then the player goes to jail.

Stopping on the “FORWARD” field, where the game begins, allows you to receive wages in the established amount.

Real estate ownership

When purchasing real estate, the player receives a card confirming ownership. After that, every player who stays on this field is forced to pay rent. It is profitable to own all the real estate of one group (designation is carried out using color). If you own the entire group, you can build real estate on any purchased tile.

Stopping at someone else's property

If you stop on a cell whose property belongs to another player, you will have to pay rent. It is important to take into account that the owner of the cell must demand payment before the next move of the stopped player. The amount of rent depends on the minimum amount specified in the real estate document, as well as on the number of buildings. If the cage owner has purchased the entire group, then he can demand double the rent on any undeveloped lot.

Hotels or houses increase rents significantly. However, if the property has been mortgaged, then no rent can be charged. At the same time, the rules of “Classic Monopoly” allow players to agree on whether rent will be paid: the owner, if desired, may not charge it.

Utilities

The game has the opportunity to purchase a utility company if it does not belong to anyone. In order to purchase such real estate, you must pay the specified amount. The property is purchased from the Bank. If the property belongs to another player, then the rent must be paid. The amount of rent is directly proportional to the number of points rolled on the dice. In this case, the following coefficients can be used to increase the amount of rent:

• If the owner has only one utility, then four times the rent must be paid.
• If the owner purchased both utilities, then the number of points rolled on the dice should be multiplied by 10 times.

If the player lands on such a square after using the Chance card, the dice must be rolled to determine the amount of the rent. If the player refuses to purchase the communal property, then the banker puts it up for auction.

Stations in the game

The Monopoly Millionaire game, whose rules allow only one player to win, also has Station squares. If the cell does not belong to anyone, then the player can purchase it. If the player refuses similar right while stopping on a square, then the Banker puts it up for auction. In the event that the Station already has an owner, the player who lands on the square is obliged to pay the amount indicated on the Title Deed. The payout amount may depend on how many stations the player still owns.

"Chance" and "Public Treasury" cards

Stopping on spaces that involve the use of Chance and Community Chest cards may require the player to perform the following actions:

• Pay taxes.
• Move the chip the specified number of cells.
• Go to jail.
• Receive a certain amount.

In most cases, the game "Monopoly - Empire", the rules of the game with the use of such cards make the gameplay more diverse, requires immediate completion of the specified actions. In this case, the player must fulfill them without fail. The “Get Out of Jail Free” card is kept by the player until the need to use it arises.

Tax field

There may be cells scattered around the playing field that provide for the payment of taxes. If a player lands on such a square, he is obliged to pay the specified amount to the bank’s treasury.

Free parking

The Monopoly playing field is full of various functional cells that require the player to perform certain actions. The only field that allows you to simply rest until the next turn without paying a fine, rent or taxes is free parking. In this case, a player who lands on such a cell can carry out any transactions: collect rent, build buildings, and so on.

Jail

The Monopoly game also includes a Prison. You can get into it for the following reasons:

• Stop at the “Go to Jail” square.
• Raising a "Chance" or "Public Treasury" card with the designation "Go to Jail".
• Rolling the same number on both dice three times in a row.

If you go to prison, you cannot receive a salary.

To get out of prison in a variety tabletop entertainment called "Monopoly - Russia", the rules of the game describe the following possibilities:

1. You can pay a fine of 50 thousand rubles. You can continue the game from the next move.
2. Using a previously received “Get Out of Jail Free” card.
3. You need to stay in the Prison for the next three turns and each time a turn comes, you must roll the dice. If the same number of points is rolled on both dice, you can be freed from the Prison and go through the number of cells that were rolled.

During your stay in Prison, you can receive rent for purchased and unmortgaged real estate.

Houses in Monopoly

After acquiring all the real estate of one group (in other words, one color), it is possible to build houses. This allows you to significantly increase the rent. It is worth noting that construction should be carried out evenly: it is possible to cost two houses on one cell only if there is one house on each cell of the group. The cost of construction work is indicated on the Document. Maximum amount houses on one cell - 4. In addition, you can sell houses if the plot is not mortgaged.

Hotel in the game "Monopoly"

The game "Monopoly - Empire", the rules of which make it very exciting and varied, also allows you to build hotels. They are raising the rent significantly. You can build a hotel only if four houses have already been built on the purchased square. For construction, you must give the house cards to the Banker and pay the specified amount. Only one hotel can be located on one cell.

Case of building shortage

When playing for a long time and large quantities participants, it may happen that the Bank does not have the required number of house cards. In order to build a house, you must wait until one of the players makes a sale and returns the card to the Banker. If the number of buyers exceeds the number of cards, then an auction is held and the card goes to the highest bidder. The starting price is based on the cost of the house, which is indicated on the card.

Property For Sale

The game provides the ability to sell undeveloped plots, utilities and railway stations. In this case, the transaction amounts are determined by agreement between the players. According to the rules, you cannot sell the plot on which the houses are built to other participants in the game. First, you should sell all the buildings, provided that the entire group is evenly built, and only after that a deal can be made between the players. Houses and hotels are sold to the Bank at half the price indicated on the card. Real estate previously pledged by players can be sold exclusively to other Monopoly participants, but not to the Bank.

Pledge

If there is no cash to pay taxes, you can pledge any real estate to the Bank. To do this, you must sell all the buildings from the cell to the Bank. The amount provided by the Bank as collateral is equal to that indicated on the card. When paying the deposit, the player must pay an amount exceeding that issued by the Bank by 10%. Pledging real estate does not take away your ownership rights; other players cannot purchase it from the Bank.

Mortgaged real estate does not bring profit to the owner. However, all other buildings of this and other groups do not have such restrictions.

The owner of the mortgaged property can sell it at an agreed price to another Monopoly participant. After acquisition, in order to make a profit from real estate or carry out construction, new owner must pay the debt with interest.

Bankruptcy in the game

Bankruptcy in the game means the elimination of one of the participants. The rules of the Monopoly game allow you to assign bankruptcy status to a player who owes the players or the Bank an amount exceeding his assets.

If, in the event of bankruptcy, a player owes money to the Bank, then he appropriates all the Title Deeds and can then sell the property through an auction.

If the debt concerns other participants in the game, then houses and hotels are sold at half price to the Bank, and creditors receive all rights to real estate, money, cards for free release from prison. If the property was previously pledged to the Bank, the new owner is required to pay 10% of the pledge amount immediately, and then can decide whether to buy it back immediately or later.

Thus, it is quite difficult to win by following the rules of the Monopoly game. Board game develops intelligence and economic acumen. The winner is the one who can make the remaining participants bankrupt.

The board game Monopoly is familiar to many from childhood and is suitable for a company of even two people, and simple instructions will help beginners learn the rules and acquire certain skills. Find out: the basic rules and what types of strategy exist in modern world.

What is the game Monopoly

Board game in the genre of economic strategy. She has gained popularity in many countries of the world, including Russia, where she is better known under the names Manager or Businessman. The classic monopoly was developed by Charles Darrow in 1934. The inventor showed his work to the Parker Brothers company, but the project was rejected due to design errors. Darrow later refined the strategy, and in 1936 it became the best-selling strategy in the United States.

The meaning of the game Monopoly

In fact, the strategy consists of a playing field, which is divided into squares. They are also divided into enterprises or assets, events and prison, in which the participant misses a turn. The turn to walk is determined by rolling the dice - whoever has the highest goes first. The number of fields per turn corresponds to the total points on the rolled dice. The essence of the monopoly game is to rationally use your capital to buy real estate and lead your opponents to absolute bankruptcy.

Rules of the game

Participants take turns throwing a pair of dice and making the appropriate number of moves on the field. Having occupied a space with real estate, the player can buy it, provided that the asset is free, or pay tax according to the list price for the visit of this field who owns the enterprise. If a participant occupies a square with an event, he receives a special instruction. The standard rules for playing monopoly contain the following list of instructions:

• give part of your capital to the Bank;
• each player receives N amount of money from you;
• move a few cells back or forward;
• go to jail;
• make a transaction for the sale of one city;
• skip a move;
• receive money from other participants.

How to play Monopoly

In all versions of the strategy, there is always a Banker, to whom the assets initially belong. He can take part in the game if necessary. The banker gives each participant starting capital in the amount of 1,500 bank cards and fills in the designated spaces of the game elements. The game begins with the opponents placing their chips on the start field and using dice to determine the sequence of moves.

Main nuances of the strategy:

• If the same number is thrown on the dice, then the participant has the right to a second turn. However, if the same number is rolled three times in a row, the opponent is sent to prison.
• After passing the “Start” cell, each time you receive a salary set by the bank.
• Having settled on a free cell with real estate, you can purchase it. Typically, houses with the same income are painted the same color. Having collected all three houses of the same color, you can upgrade them to hotels by paying a certain amount of money to the bank.
• Staying on someone else's property involves paying rent, and the amount increases when hotels are built. If the player does not have enough money to pay rent, he can sell his own houses or take out a loan from a bank.
• If you land on a cell with an event, draw a card and be sure to follow the instructions given on it.
• If your expenses or debts do not cover the total value of the purchased property, you are declared bankrupt. The game ends when only 1 participant remains on the field.
