Welcome to another FAQ of mine. This one covers the GBC game called Monopoly.
Monopoly is a game you probably know well enough, being one of the most famous
board games around, centered on the idea of buying property and making a
monopoly.

...

Well, actually, that pretty much ends another crappy introduction. Here is an
FAQ for you. Enjoy.

Pre-Game Setup:
```````````````

First, you can choose the number of players. Press A to choose the number; for
each, you will fill out whether they are human or computer. (The number of
humans can be up to four, like the players; there is no GameBoy Link Cable
here.) Then you choose names and tokens.

Next step is to play a standard, from-the-start game or to load one. Choose
whichever.

Then you choose time. You can opt for infinite time (A Button), or set a time
limit (B Button) before a winner is declared. The latter can be fifteen,
thirty, or forty five minutes, or intervals of thirty minutes from one hour
to five hours.

And so, the game begins...


Playing Monopoly:
`````````````````

When it comes to be your turn, you can do one of several things. You can roll
the dice and move the number of spaces shown on the dice or you can trade with
another player (human or AI). Note that you cannot trade if you are the very
first player, unless you are dealing out properties before the start. You will
eventually have to roll the dice - do so with the A Button.

When you land on the space, several things could happen, depending on the space
you've landed on. If it is a property space, you can buy it. (Stats of the
properties are at the end of this section.) If you have landed on Chance or
Community Chest, the game will draw a card for you, detailing the effect of
what needs to happen. If you have landed on Income Tax or Luxury Tax, you will
pay some amount of money. If you land on the "Go To Jail" space, you'll go to
jail. If you land on the space where the jail is located (not due to the
previous, but due to a simple roll of the dice), nothing will happen. If you
land on or pass GO, you will recieve your salary. If you rolled doubles (both
dice are the same number (1-1, 2-2, 3-3, 4-4, 5-5, or 6-6)), you'll roll one
more time. If you roll a third consecutive double, you are automatically sent
to jail.

When you are buying a property, you can do several things. Firstly, you can
simply buy it for the price on the board (A Button). If you cannot afford it,
you may trade with someone (Select Button menu) before the purchase. You can
also put it up for auction (B Button). This is very much like a normal auction,
and everyone is allowed to bid for the property; highest bidder wins.

You may have noticed the colors near the properties. These denote the color
groups of the properties. If you own all of the properties of a color group,
the rent on each is doubled until you build one house on a property. If at any
time any property in an entirely-owned color group (owned by one person), this
is called a monopoly. Depending on the rules you've set, you can have a max of
3 or 4 houses, then you buy a hotel (a hotel equals the cost of one house). You
may/may not build entirely on one property at a time (depending on the set
rules). The cost of a house is on the card. Also, if you trade properties that
have houses, they are taken away. If you do not want houses, you will get some
money back (1/2 the value of the house). You can build/sell houses at any
time - the options for doing so are in the Select Button menu under
"Buildings".

You can also mortgage property. When you do, you get 1/2 the price of the card
into your stack of money. However, all houses must be off of it, and you can
not collect rent on that property. If you want it unmortgaged, you'll need to
pay the amount you got from the mortgage PLUS 10%. You can also trade a
property when it is mortgaged. You can mortgage/unmortgage at any time - this,
too, is found under the "Buildings" submenu of the Select Button menu.

GETTING OUT OF JAIL: When you land in jail, you can get out by either paying
$50 or trying to roll doubles. If you roll doubles, you get out; if not, you
stay in another turn. If you pay, you are out then and there. If you keep going
for doubles, but don't get any, you'll be forced to pay on your third turn,
possibly. You can pay through the Select Button menu.

END OF GAME: When you land on a property/etc. and cannot pay the price that
you are supposed to, and cannot get the money via trade, selling buildings, or
mortgaging, you must declare bankruptcy and you lose. If there are two or more
players still left, they will continue play. Once one player remains, he or she
will be declared the winner of that game.
