How to play Monopoly? "Monopoly" (game): rules

Board games have always been in high demand. In the period of active development of the Internet era, they somewhat, if I may say so, were modernized and became even more popular. Today, almost any game can be downloaded to a computer, tablet or smartphone. But it is better to collect all friends together and have fun, say, for "Monopoly". It's quite an old game. She is already more than a hundred years old, but this did not affect her popularity. In this article, you will learn how to play Monopoly.

First meeting

The goal is to remain the only non-bankrupt player. The game field consists of squares, by which the participants move, depending on the number on the die. In any sector there is a site that can be purchased from the bank for building. But here, as in real life, you will have to pay taxes and mortgage real estate. Well, and of course, you need to be at least a little economically "savvy".

Preparation

To begin with, you need to place all objects (houses, hotels) by sectors of the playing field in accordance with the diagram. Then shuffle the cards "Chances" and put them back on the appropriate cage. Then each player chooses a chip and puts it on the inscription "Forward". The team chooses the Banker, who will manage money. There are 16 banknotes in total:

• 500 thousand rubles. - 2 pcs.;
• 100 thousand rubles. - 4 things.;
• 50 thousand rubles. - 1 PC.;
• 20 thousand rubles. - 1 PC.;
• 10 thousand rubles. - 2 pcs.;
• 5 thousand rubles. - 1 PC.;
• 1 thousand rubles. - 5 pieces.

The bank still has documents for real estate. Salaries, bonuses and loans are given by other money. The amount of "cash" is not limited. At any time on a regular sheet of paper you can write a promissory note. The game on "Android" "Monopoly" is deprived of the opportunity to "emit" paper money.

Each participant in turn throws a cube and moves the chip over the field. The direction of movement is indicated by arrows. There can be several chips on one cell. It also indicates instructions for further action: pay taxes, buy land, pay rent, get paid or go to jail.

How to play Monopoly: rules

Point "Forward" the player can pass several times. At the same time, the bank pays 200 thousand rubles in case of a repeated stop on this sector.

The "Construction site" position allows the player to first redeem documents on the property, if no one has done so before. In this case, the card must be put on the field face up. In case of refusal of purchase the site is immediately put up for auction at the lowest price and sold at the latest offered. The banker supervises the process.

"Possession of real estate" allows you to levy a lease from "tenants". If the possessions are painted in the same color, then it is a monopoly that allows you to build houses.

"Do not leave someone else's property": the landlord can demand a rent from you , but only until the next player rolls the dice. The amount of payment is indicated in the documents and may change during the game. It depends on the number of buildings built. Rent is charged at each stop on the real estate of one color group and doubles if the player was on the built-up area, provided that the building is not in pledge. For the "Station" field, the rules are similar.

In the sector of "Municipal Enterprise" the same conditions apply as with real estate. There is only one thing: rent is levied in accordance with the number of points that fell on the dice. The amount is increased 4 times, if the owner has one enterprise, and in 10 - if both. If a player hits the field on the Chances card, you need to roll the dice to determine how much the payment will increase.

The game "Monopoly Millionaire" has one interesting sector. If a participant enters the "Public Treasury" field, he must take a card from the stack and follow the instructions indicated in it. There are many options: from the movement of chips to a free exit from prison. After fulfilling the conditions, the card must be placed at the bottom of the stack.

Position "Taxes": it is necessary to pay the specified amount to the bank.

"Free parking" means that a player can simply stay on the field and do nothing.

In the "Prison" fall, if the corresponding card or the same number on the dice dropped three times in a row. Here the player does not receive a salary, but can save a lease. To leave this field, you need to pay a fine of 50 thousand rubles or buy from another player a card "Free of charge from prison." Then follows the continuation of the game. "Monopoly" for two in this regard has advantages. If there is not enough money on the account, you can stay in prison and continue throwing dice. If a double is scored - make a move. But still have to pay a fine (50 thousand rubles.). Only after this you can continue the game. If in the prison sector the player is not on the map, but as a result of the move, then the penalty will not be paid.

In detail about the property

Having lots of the same color group, you can buy houses and charge rents to players who are in your domain. The deal should be made in between moves. The plot is built evenly: it is only possible to erect a second house on a sector of the same color after the rest of the building has one building. The maximum number of buildings in one square is 4. They are sold only evenly, but at any time.

After building, you can buy a hotel. The price per unit is 4 houses plus the amount indicated in the property card. In each sector, only one hotel is allowed. If the bank can not sell the house, and its own buildings are not enough, then we will have to wait for other participants to part with their possessions. If you want to buy a lot of real estate, an auction is held.

Benefits

The game has one more advantage. You can sell plots, railway stations and utilities to other players. If a participant wishes to realize an empty sector of one color group, then first you need to sell from it - evenly - all the real estate, and then already put it on sale. The bank makes a purchase for half of the amount indicated in the documents. Hotels of the same color group are sold simultaneously.

In the bank you can get money by laying down real estate. The document on the ownership right, inverted face down - confirmation of the pledge. Such a property bank can only sell to other players. The amount to maturity is the cost of buildings plus 10%. A participant in the game can independently realize the building.

If a player owes more money to the bank than can pay after selling all of his property, then he is bankrupt. A financial institution takes his property from him and sells it at an auction. If the creditor is another player, then he realizes the debtor's property in the bank for half of its value. That's how to play Monopoly.

Tips for beginners

Having understood how to play "Monopoly", we turn to the question of tactics. We remind you that the goal is to remain the only non-bankrupt participant. Therefore, in order to win, in addition to the rules, you need to know also some features.

Buy everything in a row

In case you do not have money, it is worthwhile to lay the existing property to the bank. During the participation in the auctions pay special attention to the railways and land. It is better not to buy plumbing and electrical companies. The payback period is 3 stops of the player in this field.

Prison is your assistant

At the stage of accumulation of detention centers it is better to avoid, but if you are still behind bars, you need to take all measures to get out as soon as possible. But when other players begin to actively build their territories, it is better to skip the next move.

Buy up the railways

All four occupy a special place in the game. At the very beginning, they bring a lot of profit, in the middle - they will not be superfluous, and at the end of the game process it is better to get rid of them.

Land

According to statistics, the prison is the most visited cell on the playing field. The most profitable areas are violet, orange and green. At the same time, it is better to build no more than three houses on a sector of the same color. The only case when it is worth buying a hotel - if all your lots are the same color.

Use at home with the mind

By the rules, their number in one game is limited, and at the very beginning you can not buy hotels. Experienced participants build their strategy on this, namely: they fill all their plots with buildings and never buy hotels. This does not allow other players to own real estate.

Psychological features of trade

• People appreciate the mortgaged land less, that is, they are ready to part with it at a lower price.
• Inexperienced players easily exchange or sell what they think are "useless" single sites.

A large number of participants - the dignity of the game

"Monopoly" for two is not as interesting as playing in a group of friends. One of the winning strategies works well for a large number of players. It is to quickly and at any price redeem three cards of any color (starting with blue). In this case, the player must have a large number of multi-colored pieces of land. For this, you can even sacrifice the railway. After that it is necessary to build houses quickly and under no circumstances to leave their lands.

Which option is better?

The game "Monopoly" on the computer is installed pretty quickly. But it is better to give preference to the desktop version. Having gathered friends at home, you can use a lot of players and try out in practice the following strategy of victory.

How to play "Monopoly" with bank cards

This option is more suitable for the money manager. One of the rules of the game is that a financial institution can at any time write out any number of notes on ordinary paper. They should be used when the process becomes particularly tedious, and "emit" notes in 1,000 rubles. This will cause the other participants to get distracted from thinking about the tactics of the game and start calculating money.

Summary

"Monopoly" is a game for the company of friends. To win, you need not only to know the rules well, but also to develop tactics and strategy in advance. The ultimate goal, as already mentioned, is to remain the only non-bankrupt participant.
