3. Setup

1. Unfold the Gameboard: Place the gameboard on a flat playing surface.
2. Separate Cards: Separate the Title Deed cards, Chance cards, and Community Chest cards. Shuffle the Chance and Community Chest cards separately and place them face down on their designated spaces on the board.
3. Banker Selection: Each player rolls one die. The player with the highest roll becomes the Banker. The Banker is responsible for the Bank's money, houses, hotels, and Title Deeds not yet owned. The Banker also plays the game as a regular player.
4. Initial Money Distribution: The Banker gives each player the starting amount of Monopoly money as specified in the game guide.
5. Choose Tokens: Each player selects one of the 6 player tokens and places it on the "GO" space.
6. Sore Loser Coins: Place the 30 Sore Loser coins near the gameboard, accessible to all players.
7. Mr. Monopoly Token Assembly: Assemble the Mr. Monopoly token by placing the silver Mr. Monopoly figure onto its red base. Place this token near the Sore Loser coins.

4. Gameplay

The core objective of Monopoly for Sore Losers is to accumulate wealth and properties, but with a twist: losing events can be advantageous.

4.1. Player Turn

On your turn, roll both dice and move your token clockwise around the board the corresponding number of spaces. The action you take depends on the space you land on.

4.2. Earning Sore Loser Coins

Unlike traditional Monopoly, certain "losing" actions in this game reward you with Sore Loser coins. These actions include:

• Paying Rent: When you land on an opponent's property and pay rent, you earn a Sore Loser coin.
• Paying Taxes: Landing on Income Tax or Luxury Tax spaces and paying the amount earns you a Sore Loser coin.
• Going to Jail: If you are sent to Jail, you earn a Sore Loser coin.
• Going Bankrupt: If you go bankrupt, you earn a Sore Loser coin.

4.3. The Mr. Monopoly Token

When a player collects 4 Sore Loser coins, they can cash them in to receive the Mr. Monopoly token. This special token grants the player significant advantages:

• The player replaces their regular token with the Mr. Monopoly token.
• While using the Mr. Monopoly token, the player collects money instead of paying when landing on spaces that would normally require payment (e.g., rent, taxes).
• The Mr. Monopoly token remains with the player until another player collects 4 Sore Loser coins and takes it from them.

4.4. Chance and Community Chest Cards

These cards introduce unexpected events, some of which may also reward Sore Loser coins or trigger other unique game mechanics.

5. Care and Maintenance

To ensure the longevity of your Monopoly for Sore Losers board game, follow these care instructions:

• Storage: Store all game components in the original box in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
• Cleaning: Wipe game pieces and the board with a soft, dry cloth if necessary. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or liquids.
• Handling: Handle cards and money carefully to prevent bending or tearing.
• Supervision: For younger players, adult supervision is recommended to ensure proper handling of small game pieces.
