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:
- may buy the property if no other player owns it
- must pay rent to the player who owns it
- 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.
Landing on Luxury Tax costs you $75. Income Tax requires some arithmetic, though. You must pay either 10% of the total of (1) your cash and (2) the purchase price of all your properties and improvements.
