The rules
Goal
- The goal: be the first to reach the target net worth — your cash, plus what your cities and buildings are worth.
Your turn
- Tap the die and move space by space; a 6 means you roll again. Passing Start earns $200.
- A free space: buy it or leave it. Someone else's: pay the rent. A whole colour doubles the rent and opens up to buildings (three at most), at the start of your turn. Public places earn $35 times the number their owner has.
Jail and trades
- Jail: pay $150 to get out, or skip three turns. Auctions: put up a property, the others offer one in exchange, $100 each if it goes through. You can sell at 80%. Below −$500, you're bankrupt.
Tips
- Go for a full colour set: that’s what makes rents climb.
- Always keep a little cash aside to pay an unexpected rent.
