4. Game Play (Operating Instructions)

The objective of Monopoly is to be the last player remaining with money and properties, driving all other players into bankruptcy.

4.1. Starting the Game

Each player rolls both dice. The player with the highest total starts the game. Play proceeds clockwise.

4.2. A Player's Turn

1. Roll the Dice: Roll both dice and move your token clockwise around the board the number of spaces indicated by the sum of the dice.
2. Action on Space: Perform the action corresponding to the space your token lands on. This may include buying property, paying rent, drawing a card, or going to Jail.
3. Doubles: If you roll doubles, take your turn as usual, then roll the dice again for an additional turn. If you roll doubles three times in a row, you must immediately go to Jail.

5. Special Spaces and Cards

Certain spaces on the board trigger specific actions:

• GO: When you land on or pass the 'GO' space, collect ¥200 from the Bank.
• Properties (Tokyo Place Names & Stations): These are the core assets of the game. When you land on an unowned property, you may purchase it for the price indicated on the space. If you decline, the property is immediately auctioned by the Banker to the highest bidder. If you land on an owned property, you must pay rent to the owner.
• Chance & Community Chest: Draw the top card from the respective deck and follow its instructions. These cards can result in receiving money, paying fees, moving to another space, or going to Jail. Return the card to the bottom of the deck after use.
• Income Tax / Luxury Tax: When landing on these spaces, you must pay the specified tax amount to the Bank.
• Jail: You are sent to Jail if you land on the 'Go to Jail' space, draw a 'Go to Jail' card, or roll doubles three times in a row. While in Jail, you cannot move your token but can still collect rent and participate in property transactions. To get out, you can pay ¥50, use a 'Get Out of Jail Free' card, or attempt to roll doubles on your next three turns.
• Free Parking: This is a neutral space. No action is required, and no money is collected or paid when landing here.

6. Building and Property Management

Developing your properties is key to increasing your income and bankrupting opponents.

6.1. Property Groups

Properties are organized into color groups. Owning all properties within a single color group (a monopoly) allows you to build Houses and Hotels on them, significantly increasing the rent you can charge.

6.2. Building Houses

Once you own all properties in a color group, you can purchase Houses from the Bank. You must build Houses evenly across the properties in that group. For example, you cannot place a second House on one property until all properties in that group have one House.

6.3. Building Hotels

After building four Houses on each property in a complete color group, you can upgrade to a Hotel. Pay the Hotel cost to the Bank and return the four Houses from that property to the Bank. Only one Hotel can be built per property.

6.4. Selling Properties and Buildings

You can sell undeveloped properties to other players at any agreed-upon price. Houses and Hotels can be sold back to the Bank at half their purchase price. When selling buildings, you must do so evenly across the color group, similar to building.

7. Running Out of Money (Troubleshooting)

If you owe money to another player or the Bank and do not have enough cash on hand, you must raise funds. This can be done by:

• Selling Houses and Hotels back to the Bank.
• Mortgaging properties. Mortgaged properties do not collect rent. To unmortgage, pay the mortgage value plus 10% interest.
• Trading properties with other players.

If, after exhausting all options, you still cannot pay your debt, you are declared bankrupt and are out of the game. All your remaining properties are turned over to the player you owe (if to a player) or to the Bank for auction (if to the Bank).

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