How to play
The basics of a match โ for exact numbers and per-room rule variants, check inside the game itself.
๐ฒTurns 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:
๐ขBuying 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
๐ตRent
- A player who lands on your company pays rent automatically.
- The rate climbs: no monopoly โ monopoly (ร2) โ each branch built, highest at the gold star.
- A mortgaged space charges no rent at all โ $0.

๐จAuction
- 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.
๐Mortgage
- 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
โญBuilding 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.

๐Jail
- 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.
๐ณ๏ธBankruptcy 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.
