Summary: To begin, each player selects a token. Only when his first turn to move arrives, he places it on the Go space on the board. One player becomes the Banker, who distributes assets from the Bank to the players. Each player receives $1500, divided as follows: two $500, two $100, two $50, six $20, five $10, five $5, and five $1. The Bank has 32 houses and 12 hotels, but never runs out of money. If necessary, the Banker can create more money to give to players. The Banker keeps his assets separate from those of the Bank. The Banker can not get extra money.


[edit] Loans
If a player does not have sufficient funds to pay off a rent or fee assigned by certain cards, he or she may take a loan from the bank by mortgaging one or more properties.

If the player lands on an unowned property, he may buy it for the price listed on that property's space. If he agrees to buy it, he pays the Bank the amount shown on the property space and receives the title deed for that property. If he decides not to buy it, the property is auctioned, and the bidding may start at any price. The highest bidder wins the property and pays the Bank the amount bid and receives the property's title deed. Railroads and utilities are also properties.
If the player lands on an unmortgaged property owned by another player, he pays rent to that person, as specified on the property's deed.
If the player lands on his own property, or on property which is owned by another player but currently mortgaged, nothing happens.
If the player lands on Luxury Tax/Super Tax, he must pay the Bank $75/£100.
If the player lands on Income Tax he must pay the Bank $200 or 10% of his assets (i.e. cash on hand plus the value of all buildings owned and the prices of all properties owned). The player must decide which to pay before totaling his assets. (The 10% option is not available on the British board.)
If the player lands on Chance, the player picks a chance card and does the following actions as stated on the card. The same goes for when a player lands on Community Chest.
If the player lands on the Go to Jail square, he must move his token to Jail (without passing Go). If the player has a Get Out of Jail Free card or can buy one from another player, he moves his token to the "Just Visiting" part of the square.
If the player lands on or passes Go he receives $200 from the bank, unless he is going directly to Jail. If the player passes Go, lands on a Chance or Community Chest space, and draws a card directing him to go directly to Jail, however, he still collects the $200 for passing Go. A player cannot recieve any "Go" money if he/she forgot to get it when passing.
If the player lands on Jail he is "Just Visiting" and does nothing. No penalty applies. However, if a player is directed to go to Jail by a card, or from having landed on the Go To Jail square, or by virtue of having rolled doubles three times consecutively, he lands in the Jail proper and can get out by paying a $50 fine, using a "Get Out of Jail Free" card, or by rolling doubles. If a player refuses to pay the fine and fails to roll doubles, he loses his turn. If a player in Jail refuses to pay the fine three consecutive turns, and each turn fails to roll doubles, the $50 fine is assessed anyway, and he moves the number of spaces on his last unsuccessful roll.

[edit] Doubles
A player who rolls doubles takes another turn after completing the first one (unless he/she was in Jail). If he rolls doubles again, he takes a third turn after completing the second. If, on the third turn, he rolls doubles again, he does not take that turn and goes to jail. If a player rolls when the other player is paying it is still an active roll.


[edit] Properties, Rents, and Construction
Properties are arranged in "color groups" of two or three properties. Once a player owns all properties of a color group (a monopoly), that player may purchase either one to four houses or one hotel (which is equivalent to five houses) for those properties, which raise the rents that must be paid when other players land on the property. The properties in a color group must be developed evenly, i.e. each house that is built must go on the property in the group with the fewest number of houses on it so far. If the number of houses built on the color group is not evenly divisible, then one or two properties may have one extra house. For example, houses in a group may be distributed (2,3,2) or (0,1,1) or (4,4,3) but not (1,2,3) or (0,4,4).

A hotel may be built on a color group only after all properties in the group have four houses. A player purchases a hotel by paying the price of an additional house, and returning the four houses on that property to the bank in exchange for a hotel. If there are not enough houses in the bank for a player to build four houses on each property before building a hotel, the player may not skip directly to buying a hotel by paying the full price at one go.

The bank has a fixed supply of 32 houses and 12 hotels. If more players decide to build more houses at the same time than there are houses in the bank, the houses are auctioned off one at a time to the highest bidder. This rule favors the owners of expensive properties, for which the houses cost more in the first place, because the auction price of a house is not tied to the value of the property on which it will be placed.

At any time a player may, to raise cash, return hotels and houses to the bank for half their purchase price. If there are sufficient houses in the bank, hotels may also be "broken down" into a number of houses for the corresponding percentage of their purchase price. For example, hotels in one color group may be replaced by two houses each, and for each hotel thus broken down, the player receives half the cost of three houses. Also, properties with no houses or hotels may be mortgaged for half of the property price. A property does not collect rent while mortgaged and may not be developed. To de-mortgage a property a player must pay "interest" of 10% in addition to the mortgage price. Whenever a mortgaged property changes hands between players, the new owner must immediately pay another 10% interest on the mortgage price, and if he doesn't pay off the mortgage immediately, you have to pay for every property.''

Answer 2

each house cost...let's say 2 million bucks, depending on the property. It says on the bottom of the deed how much a house for those properties cost; it's different for each color group. If you want to skip getting houses and get a hotel for each property you have to buy the houses first. So If one house is 2 mil, you have to buy four, then you can buy the hotel. The hotel is usually a little more, price also found on the deed. So all in all a property that req's a 2 mil house will require about 10 mil to place a hotel. Hope this helps!
