Game Rules (Key Mechanics)

Buying and Developing Property:

• Monopolies: To build Houses or Hotels, you must own all properties of a color group (a monopoly).

• Houses: Once you own a monopoly, you can buy Houses from the Bank and place them on your properties. You must build evenly across the color group.

• Hotels: After building four Houses on each property in a color group, you can upgrade them to a Hotel.

• Rent: Rent increases significantly with Houses and Hotels.

Mortgaging Property:

• If you need money, you can mortgage properties to the Bank. You cannot collect rent on mortgaged properties.

• To unmortgage a property, you must pay the mortgage value plus 10% interest.

Bankruptcy:

• If you owe more money than you can pay, even after selling all your buildings and mortgaging all your properties, you are bankrupt and out of the game.

• All your properties are turned over to the player you owe money to, or to the Bank if you owe the Bank.
