Changes

In Monopoly, two or more players take turns rolling dice and moving their tokens clockwise through boxes drawn around the edges of a square board based on the street names of [[Atlantic City]]. If the player rolls doubles, he/she gets an extra turn. Upon landing in a box, a player may buy the property from the bank if no other player owns it, pay rent to the player who owns it, or draw a Chance or Community Chest card. Landing on Luxury Tax costs the player $75. For Income Tax, the player must pay either $200 or 10% of the total of (1) the player's cash and (2) the purchase price of all the player's properties and improvements. When the player passes Go, he/she collect $200. If the player lands on Jail or Free Parking, nothing happens. If the player rolls doubles three times in a row, he/she goes to jail. The player can also go to jail if he/she lands on the corner box marked Go To Jail, or gets a Chance or Community Chest card stating to go to jail. To get out of jail, the player must pay the $50 fine, roll doubles on his or her turn or use a "get out of jail free" card. Rent and property costs increase as one goes around the board. The purple and light blue properties are on the South edge, magenta and orange on the West edge, red and yellow on the North edge, and green and dark blue on the East edge. Rents are doubled if the player owns all of a color. Railroad rents increase for each additional railroad the player owns: get all four for triple rent. The electric and water utilities work similarly. Building houses on the player's lot increases rents; after 4 houses, the player can erect a hotel instead. Houses and hotels are only bought from the bank, never from other players, and there is a fixed supply, which can lead to housing shortages. Not all deals are done with the bank. Players may sell or trade properties, which is often a key part of gaining a monopoly by buying all properties of a color group.

==Variations==

==House Rules==

 

Some players have added extra rules, called "House Rules", such as fines being paid into a kitty in the center of the board and collected by whoever lands on Free Parking and collecting double salary when landing on GO.

Overseas versions have cities appropriate for the their marketplace; for example, the British version of the game has squares based upon areas within London.
