This one covers the GBa 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.

The settings you can change are below, with defaults/forced options noted. There are no limitations on settings in a custom game. The settings are in the next sub-section, to make it easier on you. You must also choose a number of players to use. Unlike a large majority of GBA games, this game can be passed around, so the number of humans is up to you - no need for GBA Link Cables. You can also add computer players, and choose the pieces for everyone. When you're ready, opt to "Begin Game". Settings: ````````` Music: - On (default) - Off Sound Effects: - On (default) - Off Game Time: How long the game will last before a winner is automatically named. - 04:15:00 (default on all modes except Time Limit) - Intervals of 15 minutes from one hour to sixteen hours (Time Limit Game) Start Funds: How much money each player will begin with. - $1,500 (all games' default) - $2,000 - $2,500 - $3,000 Salary: The base amount of money you'll get for passing GO. - $0 - $200 (all games' default) - $400 - $600 Leave Jail Cost: How much you must pay to leave Jail. - $0 - $50 (all games' default) - $100 - $150 Total Houses: - 16 - 32 (all games' default) - 48 - 64 Total Hotels: - 6 - 12 (all games' default) - 18 - 24 Houses per Hotel: The number of houses that need to be on a property before a hotel can be placed on that same property. - 2 - 3 (Short Game default) - 4 (Standard/Time Limit default) - 5 Maximum Turns in Jail: How long before you always leave Jail, no matter what. - 1 - 2 - 3 (all games' default) - 4 Free Parking Rule: Do you put a "pot" of taxed money for whoever lands on Free Parking to receive? - No (all games' default) - Yes Free Parking Jackpot: If using the Free Parking Rule, how much does the "pot" begin with, if any? - $0 - $250 - $500 - $750 Even Build Rule: If you want to build a second house (or third or so on) on on a property, do the others first need to have one house? - Yes (all games' default) - No Double Salary Rule: Do you get double your salary for landing on GO? - Yes - No (all games' default) Income Tax Rate: Percentage paid for the Income Tax space. - 0% - 5% - 10% (all games' default) - 15% Income Tax Amount: The amount of the flat-rate Income Tax space option. - $0 - $100 - $200 (all games' default) - $400 Super Tax Amount: The amount of the Super Tax, which is the same as Luxury Tax. - $0 - $75 - $150 (all games' default) - $300 Mortgage Rate: The amount extra paid back on unmortgaging. - 0% - 5% - 10% (all games' default) - 20% Properties Dealt at Start: - 0 (Standard default) - 1 - 2 (Short Game/Time Limit default) - 4 During the Game: ```````````````` This section will generally assume Standard Game defaults. 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. When you land on a 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 Free Parking, you may/may not get money in the "pot" as it is called, depending on the rules set. If you have landed on Income Tax or Super 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 GO, you will recieve your salary (or double, depending on the rules). If you rolled doubles (the two 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 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. If you cannot afford it, you may trade with someone before/after the purchase. You can also put it up for auction. 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. 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. 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 (or another turn, depending on the set rules). THE FREE PARKING POT: At the start, money is put into the pot (if the rule is active; money depends on settings). All taxes (Income Tax, etc.) will be put into the pot. Whoever lands on Free Parking will then get that money and the amount put in at the start will be put in again. 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. __________________________________________________________________________ / PROPERTY DATA, Part 1 of 3 \
