4. Operating Instructions: How to Play

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

Game Flow

1. Starting the Game: Each player rolls the dice. The player with the highest roll goes first. Play proceeds clockwise.
2. Player's Turn: On your turn, roll both dice and move your token clockwise around the board the number of spaces indicated by the dice.
3. Landing on Spaces:
   • Unowned Property: You may buy the property for the price printed on the board. If you decline, the property is auctioned off to the highest bidder.
   • Owned Property: If another player owns the property, you must pay rent to that player. Rent varies based on whether the property is part of a color set and if it has houses or hotels.
   • Chance or Community Chest: Draw the top card from the respective pile and follow its instructions.
   • Go to Jail: Move your token directly to the "In Jail" space. You do not collect $200 for passing GO.
   • Free Parking: This is a free resting space.
   • Income Tax/Luxury Tax: Pay the specified amount to the bank.
   • GO: If you pass or land on GO, collect $200 from the bank.
4. Doubles: If you roll doubles, take your turn as usual, then roll again. If you roll doubles three times in a row, you immediately go to Jail.
5. Building: Once you own all properties in a color group, you can build houses and then hotels on them during your turn or between turns. Houses must be built evenly across properties in a color group.
6. Mortgaging: If you need money, you can mortgage properties. Mortgaged properties do not collect rent.
7. Bankruptcy: If you owe more money than you can pay, even by mortgaging properties and selling houses/hotels, you are bankrupt and out of the game.
8. Winning: The last player remaining in the game wins.
