Each player rolls both dice. The highest roller starts.

Move around the board buying as many properties (Streets, Transports, and Utilities) as you can. The more you own, the more rent you’ll get. If you’re the last player with any money when all other players have gone bankrupt, you win!

Give each player: 5x1, 1x5, 2x10, 1x20, 1x50, 4x100, 2x500 (Total = 1,500)

You have 3 options:

1. Pay 50 at the start of your next turn, then roll and move as normal.
2. Use a Get Out of Jail Free card at the start of your next turn if you have one (or buy one from another player). Put the card at the bottom of the pile, then roll and move.
3. Roll a double on your next turn. If you do, you’re free! Use the roll to move. You can use up to 3 turns to try for a double. If you don’t throw a double by your third turn in jail, pay the fine and use your last roll to move.

You can build houses and hotels on your property to increase the amount of rent that other players have to pay when they land on it (which increases your chances of winning).

Building Houses

As soon as you get a color set, you can start buying Houses (you don’t have to wait for your turn). Pay the Bank the cost price on the Title Deed card and place a House on the Street.

Build evenly. You cannot build a second House on a Street until you’ve built one on each Street in the set. You can only have 4 Houses on a Street.

Building Hotels

Once you have 4 Houses on a Street, you can pay to upgrade to a Hotel.

Pay the Hotel cost price on the Title Deed card, return all 4 Houses to the Bank, and put a Hotel on the Street.

You can only have 1 Hotel per Street. You can’t add any more Houses.

Running out of Buildings

If the banker has no houses left, you must wait for other players to return theirs before you can buy any.

Players have to wait until houses are traded in for hotels before they can buy them.
