Instructions

How to Play Monopoly:

1. Objective: The objective of Monopoly is to bankrupt your opponents by acquiring and developing properties, charging rent, and strategically managing your finances.

2. Starting the Game: In Monopoly, players choose their game pieces and receive a starting amount of money. The properties are shuffled, and each player receives a token to move around the board.

3. Rolling the Dice: On your turn, you roll two dice and move your token the sum of the dice rolls. You can buy properties you land on, pay rent if you land on properties owned by other players, or perform various actions based on the space you land on.

4. Buying Properties: When you land on an unowned property, you have the option to purchase it. Buying a complete set of properties in the same color group allows you to build houses and later hotels on those properties.

5. Collecting Rent: If you land on a property owned by another player, you must pay rent. The rent amount is based on the property's development level (e.g., houses or hotels).

6. Community Chest and Chance Cards: There are Community Chest and Chance cards that can provide advantages or disadvantages, such as collecting or paying money, or moving to different spaces on the board.

7. Jail: If you land on the "Go to Jail" space, draw a "Go to Jail" card, or roll doubles three times in a row, you go to jail. You can pay to get out of jail, use a "Get Out of Jail Free" card if you have one, or attempt to roll doubles on your turn.

8. Auctions: If a player decides not to purchase a property they land on, the property goes up for auction, and players can bid on it.

9. Houses and Hotels: After acquiring a complete color set, you can build houses and, eventually, hotels on your properties. These developments increase the rent other players must pay when they land on your properties.

10. Bankruptcy: If a player cannot afford to pay rent or other expenses, they may need to mortgage or sell properties to cover their debts. If they can't, they are declared bankrupt, and their properties and assets are auctioned off.

11. Winning: The game continues until all but one player goes bankrupt, making the last remaining player the winner.
