4. How to Play (Operating Instructions)
4.1 Game Start
Players roll both dice. The player with the highest total starts the game. Play proceeds clockwise.
4.2 Player Turn
On your turn, roll both dice and move your token clockwise around the board the number of spaces indicated by the dice. The action you take depends on the space you land on:
- Unowned Property: You may buy the property for the price printed on the board. If you decline, the property is immediately auctioned off to the highest bidder.
- Owned Property: If another player owns the property, you must pay them rent according to the Title Deed card. Rent increases if the property is part of a color set or has houses/hotels.
- Chance or Community Chest: Draw the top card from the respective deck and follow its instructions.
- Tax Spaces: Pay the indicated tax to the Bank.
- "GO" Space: If you pass or land on "GO", collect $200 from the Bank.
- Jail: Landing on "Go to Jail" sends you directly to Jail. You do not collect $200 if passing "GO".
- Free Parking: This is a safe space; no action is taken.

4.3 Doubles
If you roll doubles, you take your turn as usual, then roll again. If you roll doubles three times in a row, you immediately go to Jail.
4.4 Building Houses and Hotels
Once you own all properties in a color group (a "monopoly"), you can begin building houses and hotels on those properties. You must build evenly across the color group. Four houses on a property can be traded in for one hotel.
4.5 Mortgaging Properties
If you need money, you can mortgage properties to the Bank. Mortgaged properties do not collect rent. To unmortgage, pay the mortgage value plus 10% interest.
4.6 Trading
Players can trade properties, money, and "Get Out of Jail Free" cards with each other at any time.
5. Game End
The game ends when only one player remains solvent, and all other players have gone bankrupt. The last player remaining is the winner.
A player goes bankrupt if they cannot pay their debts (rent, taxes, etc.) even after selling all their houses/hotels, mortgaging properties, and trading with other players.
