How to play

The basics of a match โ€” for exact numbers and per-room rule variants, check inside the game itself.

๐ŸŽฒTurns and dice

  • Roll 2 dice โ€” your token moves forward by the total.
  • Rolled doubles โ€” roll again; three doubles in a row sends you straight to jail.
  • Passing GO โ€” +$2,000 (first 40 minutes of the match only); landing exactly on GO โ€” +$3,000 in the first 40 minutes, then +$1,000.
  • 80 seconds per turn โ€” miss it and you're out of the match.

Example from the game:

๐ŸขBuying a company

  • Land on an unowned space โ€” buy it at the listed price, or decline.
  • Decline and it goes straight to auction โ€” you can't just skip it.
  • A bought space starts charging rent to other players right away.

Example from the game:

PUMBA
Unowned space ยท rent 60k, monopoly 120k

๐Ÿ’ตRent

  • A player who lands on your company pays rent automatically.
  • The rate climbs: no monopoly โ†’ monopoly (ร—2) โ†’ each branch built, highest at the gold star.
  • A mortgaged space charges no rent at all โ€” $0.

Redeem (90%)900k

๐Ÿ”จAuction

  • Declined a purchase โ€” the space goes to a round-the-table auction: each player raises the price by $100 or drops out.
  • The last one left wins, buying it at their last bid.

Example from the game:

Auction: PUMBA
Starting price 1,000k. Alex's move.

๐Ÿ”’Mortgage

  • Need cash โ€” mortgage your own space (tap the cell on your turn) for 65% of its price.
  • Redeem it back for 90% of the price within 14 turns โ€” miss that window and it's released on its own.
  • While a group still has any branch built on it, none of its spaces can be mortgaged โ€” sell every branch first.

Branchesโ€”

โญBuilding branches

  • Own the whole colour group (a monopoly) โ€” then you can build branches.
  • 5 levels: 4 silver stars, then gold โ€” building costs the same at every level.
  • A level can't go higher than the group's lowest company.

๐Ÿš”Jail

  • Land there via "Go to jail", or three doubles in a row.
  • On your turn: roll for doubles to get out, or just pay the $500 bail.
  • Three failed attempts in a row and bail becomes mandatory; getting out of jail never grants a bonus roll.

Example from the game:

Alex is in jail
Roll doubles to get out (attempts left: 2), or pay the 500k bail.

๐Ÿณ๏ธBankruptcy and surrendering

  • Can't afford a payment โ€” mortgage spaces and sell branches to raise the cash.
  • Still short, or just done playing โ€” surrender anytime from your own player menu.
  • Going bankrupt hands your assets to whoever you owed โ€” or just releases them if the debt was to the bank.

Example from the game:

Not enough money
Debt 2,700k (rent on PUMBA). Even after mortgaging every space and selling every branch, it still isn't enough โ€” surrendering is the only way out.
