INTRODUCTION
1
Pass go and head directly for fun! MONOPOLY is America's best-loved real
estate game. Buy, sell, and trade properties. Build houses and hotels to increase
your assets. Add railroads and utility companies to your empire. Become rich
like Uncle Pennybags or end up in the poor house...it's all up to you!
GOAL
The object of MONOPOLY is to become the richest player and bankrupt all the
other players. To achieve this, you must buy, sell, and trade properties. In the
process, you will collect rent from the other players as they land on the properties
you own. You will also occasionally land on Chance and Community Chest
squares. Those cards may affect your assets.
