4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Game Objective

The objective of Monopoly Super Electronic Banking is to be the player with the most money at the end of the game. This is achieved by buying properties, collecting rent, and earning rewards through various in-game actions.

4.2 Gameplay Overview

Players take turns rolling the die and moving their token around the board. Actions are determined by the space landed on. All financial transactions are handled by the electronic banking unit using the bank cards.

4.3 Using the Electronic Banking Unit

The banking unit is central to all transactions. To perform an action:

  • To Pay/Receive Money: Tap your bank card on the banking unit. The unit will display your current balance.
  • To Buy Property: When you land on an unowned property, tap your bank card, then tap the Title Deed card on the unit to purchase it. The unit will deduct the cost from your balance.
  • To Collect Rent: When another player lands on your property, they tap their bank card, then you tap your Title Deed card. The unit will transfer the rent from their account to yours.
  • To Activate Rewards: Certain actions or spaces trigger rewards. Follow the instructions on the Reference Cards or Chance Cards, which will often involve tapping your bank card or a specific card on the unit to receive a bonus.

4.4 Special Spaces and Actions

  • Flight Spaces: Instead of purchasing railroads, players can choose to take a flight to any property on the gameboard. This offers strategic movement options.
  • Forced Trade Space: If you land on a Forced Trade space, you can choose any property you own and immediately trade it for any property owned by another player. This can significantly alter game dynamics.
  • Chance Cards: Draw a Chance card when you land on a Chance space. Follow the instructions on the card, which may involve receiving money, paying money, moving to a different space, or triggering a reward.
  • Reward System: Each of the 4 plastic tokens has a unique bank card that offers a specific reward for performing certain actions in the game. For example, rolling a specific number, landing on a particular space, or purchasing a certain property type. Consult your Reference Card for details on your token's unique reward.
