Hasbro Monopoly Star Wars Game B0324 Instruction Manual

Introduction

Welcome to the Hasbro Monopoly Star Wars game. This special edition of Monopoly allows players to choose their side, either the Rebellion or the Empire, and embark on a galactic quest to conquer planets and control their destiny. This manual provides comprehensive instructions for setting up, playing, and maintaining your game.

Setup

Follow these steps to prepare your Monopoly Star Wars game for play:

1. Unpack Components: Carefully remove all game components from the box. Ensure you have the game board, character tokens, planet cards, title deed cards, Chance cards, Community Chest cards, Star Wars themed money, dice, and bases/fleets (houses/hotels).
2. Place the Game Board: Unfold the game board and place it on a flat playing surface.
3. Separate Cards: Separate the Chance cards and Community Chest cards. Shuffle each deck individually and place them face down on their designated spaces on the game board.
4. Distribute Money: Each player receives a starting amount of Star Wars credits. The specific distribution is detailed in the game's rulebook (typically 1500 credits, distributed in various denominations).
5. Choose Factions and Tokens: Players choose to align with either the Rebellion or the Empire. Select a character token and its corresponding base/fleet pieces.
6. Banker: One player is designated as the Banker. The Banker is responsible for all money and property not yet owned by players. The Banker may also play, but must keep their personal funds separate from the Bank.

Operating (Gameplay)

The objective of Monopoly Star Wars is to conquer planets and dominate the galaxy, often by working as a team (Rebellion vs. Empire). Here's a general overview of gameplay:

1. Starting the Game: Each player rolls the dice. The player with the highest roll goes first. Play proceeds clockwise.
2. Player Turn: On your turn, roll both dice and move your token clockwise around the board the number of spaces indicated.
3. Landing on a Space:
   • Unowned Planet: You may buy the planet from the Bank for the price printed on the board. If you choose not to buy it, the Banker immediately auctions it to the highest bidder.
   • Owned Planet: If another player owns the planet, you must pay them rent as indicated on their Title Deed card. Rent increases if the owner has built bases or fleets on the planet.
   • Chance or Community Chest: Draw the top card from the respective deck and follow its instructions.
   • Special Spaces: These include GO, Hyperspace (Go to Jail), Trade Federation Tax, and Bounty Hunter. Follow the instructions on the board for these spaces.
4. Building Bases and Fleets: Once you own all the planets in a color group, you can begin building Bases (houses) and Fleets (hotels) on them to increase rent.
5. Trading and Mortgaging: You can trade planets, cards, or money with other players. Planets can be mortgaged to the Bank for additional funds.
6. Bankruptcy: If you owe more money than you can pay, even by selling bases/fleets and mortgaging planets, you are bankrupt and out of the game.
7. Winning the Game: The game ends when one team (Rebellion or Empire) has successfully conquered enough planets or eliminated the opposing team, as specified in the detailed rulebook.

Maintenance

Proper care will ensure the longevity of your Monopoly Star Wars game:

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe down the game board and plastic components. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the surfaces.
• Storage: Store all game components in their original box or a suitable container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure all pieces are accounted for before storage to prevent loss.
• Handling: Handle cards and money with clean, dry hands to prevent wear and tear. Avoid bending or creasing the game board.

Troubleshooting

Here are solutions to common issues you might encounter:

• Missing Pieces: If you discover any missing components upon opening the box, please contact Hasbro customer support immediately. Do not attempt to substitute with non-official parts.
• Rules Disputes: In case of disagreements over rules, refer to the official rulebook included with your game. For unique situations not covered, players may agree on a 'house rule' before continuing play.
• Damaged Components: If any components are damaged during play or storage, assess if they can be safely used. For significant damage, consider contacting customer support for replacement options.
