Passing or landing on the starting "Go" square during a turn will award a player $200.

Free Parking is officially simply a "free" resting space, where nothing bad or good happens (when the players own all the properties, it's one of the few no one is charged to land on), but its actual use varies wildly based on House Rules it either serves as a "blank" square, awards a player cash from the bank, or does something in the middle of those two extremes. Between turns, players have the option to broker trades for money, properties, Get Out of Jail Free cards, or any combination thereof with other players.Ĭhance and Community Chest cards can award the player money, take it away, or whisk him off to another square (including Jail). Buildings dramatically increase the amount of rent players have to pay for landing on their spaces - landing on Boardwalk when it has a Hotel often bankrupts the unfortunate soul who lands there. Should a player collect all the properties in a specific color group, they may build houses and hotels on those properties. When a player lands on a property square owned by another player, he must pay the listed rent on the property card to whoever owns it (players face no charge for landing on their own properties). note Neglecting to do this is not only one of the most unintentionally followed House Rules, but extends the length of the game considerably. If they decline, the property is sold at auction to the highest bidder. If a player lands on an unsold property square, they may buy the property at its listed price. Properties make up the cornerstone of the game. The goal is to bankrupt all the other players by buying, improving, and collecting rent on various properties. Players receive $1,500 in starting cash, then roll dice to move their tokens around the board (if a player rolls doubles, they get to take another turn), where they may land on property squares, Chance or Community Chest squares, and other squares such as Income Tax, Free Parking and Go To Jail.

Parker Brothers claims the 1930s as the creation date of its signature board game Monopoly (and says Charles Darrow, who patented it in 1935, invented the game). It's not as impressive today when video games can sell 20 million copies in one month, and some online games can have upwards of a billion registered users, but for its time it was the hot game that everyone - or almost everyone - played, at least in the United States, anyway. Monopoly is arguably the most popular board game ever made, selling approximately 250 million sets in the more than 90 years it has existed, and has been played by over 500 million people.
