Monopoly: Star Wars The Child Edition Board Game Instruction Manual

1. Introduction and Overview

Embark on a galactic adventure with The Child, affectionately known as "Baby Yoda" by fans, in this special edition of Monopoly. Inspired by the live-action TV series The Mandalorian on Disney Plus, this board game allows players to travel around the gameboard, buying and selling Hideouts and Common Houses, and navigating challenges presented by Camtono cards and Bounty Puck cards. The objective remains classic Monopoly: be the last player remaining after everyone else has gone bankrupt.

3. Setup

Follow these steps to set up your game:

1. Unfold the game board and place it in the center of the playing area.

4. The Banker distributes the starting money to each player according to the game rules (refer to the included rulebook for specific amounts).
5. Place the Hideouts and Common Houses near the board, accessible to all players.
6. Each player places their chosen token on the "GO" space.

4. Operating (How to Play)

The game proceeds in turns, with players rolling dice and moving their tokens around the board. The goal is to acquire properties, collect rent from other players, and ultimately drive opponents into bankruptcy.

4.1 Player Turn

1. Roll both dice and move your token clockwise around the board the corresponding number of spaces.
2. Follow the instructions on the space you land on:
• Unowned Property: You may buy it for the price listed on the Property Deed card. If you decline, the property is put up for auction among all players.
• Owned Property: If another player owns the property, you must pay them rent as indicated on their Property Deed card.
• Camtono or Bounty Puck: Draw the top card from the respective pile and follow its instructions.
• Go to Jail: Move your token directly to the Jail space. Your turn ends.
• Go: Passing or landing on "GO" allows you to collect 200 Monopoly currency from the bank.
3. If you rolled doubles, take another turn after completing your first. Three consecutive doubles send you to Jail.

4.2 Buying and Selling

• Buying Properties: When you land on an unowned property, you can purchase it. Collect the Property Deed card.
• Building Hideouts and Common Houses: Once you own all properties in a color set, you can begin building Hideouts. You must build evenly across the properties in the set. Once you have four Hideouts on each property in a set, you can upgrade them to a Common House.
• Selling Properties: Properties can be mortgaged to the bank for half their value. Mortgaged properties do not collect rent.

4.3 Winning the Game

The game ends when only one player remains solvent. This player is the winner.
