Monopoly (board game)

Monopoly Based on Atlantic City NJ is one the best-known American board games. Although checkers and chess are better-known, neither is an American invention.

In Monopoly, 2 or more players take turns rolling dice and moving their tokens clockwise through boxes drawn around the edges of a square board. Upon landing in a box, a player:

1. may buy the property if no other player owns it
2. must pay rent to the player who owns it
3. draws a Chance or Community Chest card

When you pass Go you collect $200. If you land on Jail or Free Parking, nothing happens. The box marked Go To Jail is self-explanatory. Overseas versions have cities appropriate for the their marketplace, for example the British version of the game has squares based upon areas within London.
