The rules for Monopoly Go! are designed to create a fast-paced and engaging gameplay experience. Here’s a detailed overview of how to play:
The primary goal of Monopoly Go! is to be the first player to build a landmark by placing four matching colored blocks on the same Build square on your mini-gameboard12.
: The game accommodates 2-4 players.
: Each player receives a mini-board, a token, and a reference card. Landmark blocks are placed in the center tray.
: Players choose their token and place it on the start space of their board. All players roll the dice to determine who goes first.
: On each turn, the current player rolls all the dice, including those for other players.
: Each player moves their token clockwise around their board according to the number rolled on their die12.
Players take actions depending on where they land:
: If you land on a color space, take a matching landmark block from the tray and place it on your board. If no matching blocks are available or if all your spots are filled with different colors, you must advance your Monopoly head one space on your Mega Shutdown tracker12.
: Landing here allows you to choose one of three actions: take any color landmark block from the tray, attempt a bank heist, or activate a shutdown3.
: Draw a chance tile and follow its instructions. There are various types of tiles with different effects24.
: After all players have completed their actions, you can challenge one opponent to try to steal a block from them based on a secret selection process23.
: Choose one opponent to remove a block from their board and return it to the tray3.
A player wins immediately upon completing their landmark by placing four matching colored blocks, regardless of any ongoing actions by other players at that time13.
Players cannot skip taking a block when landing on a color space if there is an available block.
If multiple players want the same block, the first player to take it gets it.
Players can only use certain actions (like bank heists) after all other actions have been resolved for that turn.
These rules create an interactive and competitive environment, making Monopoly Go! an exciting variant of the classic game.
