to eight players the board is set up by

stacking the chance and Community Chest

cards on the board in the spaces

provided each player selects a token to

move around the board each token starts

on the ghost base each player receives

banker the banker will distribute and

collect money and manages the property's

houses and hotels the objective of the

game is to become the wealthiest player

in the game through buying renting and

selling property on each player's turn

the two dice are rolled in the players

token moves to space equal to the value

rolled player one rolls a nine and moves

nine spaces based on the spaces landed

on in action will be taken

player one lands on a property space for

Connecticut Avenue player one has the

option to buy the property for the price

listed on this base $120 player one

decides to buy the property they are two

rolls next and rolls a nine player two

moves and lands on player ones property

when a player lands on another player's

property the player must pay the owner

rent the rent amount is listed on the

property card player two pays player 1

$8 player 3 rolls a 7 next and move

seven spaces player three lands on a

chance space and draws a chance card the

card reads bank pays you a dividend of

$50 the bank pays player 3 $50 players

continued to take turns rolling and

moving their tokens then taking the

necessary action depending on the space

landed on most spaces represent a

property when landed on the player has

the option to purchase the property from

the bank a property's price is listed on

the bottom of the space a player may

land on a chance space and we'll draw a

chance card the action described on the

chance card is then completed and the

card is returned to the

the pile a player may land on a

Community Chest space and we'll draw a

Community Chest cart the action

described on the Community Chest is then

completed and the cart is returned to

the bottom of the pile

a player may land on a tax pace and will

pay the tax described

if a player lands on the jail space

nothing happens as he or she is just

visiting if a player lands on the free

parking space nothing happens if a

player lands on the go to jail space the

player goes into jail every time a

player lands on or passes the gospace

the player will collect $200 from the

banker

if a player lands on a property space

that is already owned by another player

that player will have to pay the owner

rent the amount owed is listed on the

property card there are a number of

different rules for Monopoly get the

monopoly quick guide through the link in

this video's description

the quick guide is great to help you

learn as you play when a player lands on

an open property but chooses not to buy

the property from the bank for the

printed price the property is auctioned

off all players will make bids and the

highest ending bid will get the property

for the final amount bid

when a player lands on a space that you

own you are responsible for asking and

collecting the rent before the next

player rolls the dice if a player rolls

the same number on both dice he or she

will move the amount complete the action

required and then gets to roll again

this is known as rolling doubles if a

player rolls three doubles in a row that

player goes directly to jail without

passing go or collecting $200 when in

jail a player has three ways to get out

of jail by rolling the same number on

both dice by playing a

get-out-of-jail-free card to get out of

jail free card can be drawn from the

chance or Community Chest piles or

purchased from another player at an

agreed-upon price or lastly by paying

$50 to the bank before you roll then

whatever you roll you will move that

many spaces if they player owns all the

properties of the same color the rent

doubles for example when a player owns

all the orange properties and another

player lands on Tennessee Avenue the

rent would be $28 also when a player

owns all the properties of the same

color houses can be bought for the

properties the player that owns all the

orange properties can put a house on st.

James Place for $100 when a house is on

a property the rent increases according

to the card houses must be split as

evenly as possible among the

properties meaning each property must

have one house before adding a second

house to the property once all the

properties in a color have four houses a

hotel can be purchased this again raises

the rent for other players that land on

this property the money spent on houses

and hotels is paid to the bank the bank

may run out of houses and hotels to sell

in this case all players will have to

wait for a house or hotel to be sold

back to the bank before buying one when

needed a player can sell hotels and

houses back to the bank for half the

price paid for them if a property has no

houses or hotels on it a player can sell

the property to another player for an

agreed upon amount a property with no

houses or hotel on it can be mortgaged

back to the bank the mortgaged amount

received from the bank is on the back of

the properties card when a property is

mortgaged no rent is collected when

players land on it the mortgage is

lifted when the mortgaged amount is paid

back to the bank plus 10% once a player

owes more money than can be paid and has

no properties to sell he or she is

declared bankrupt and is out of the game

the last player to remain in the game is

the winner that wraps up how to play
