RICH UNCLE PENNYBAGS HAS ARRIVED!
To get started, choose a token to represent your player on the gameboard. Starting out with $1,500 in cash, you travel around the board buying up property, developing those properties and collecting rent from other players who land on your property.
Play with up to 3 human or computer opponents. AI profiles to choose from (see chart below). If things are going well, you may find yourself with massive empires in the making. But watch out for those incidental taxes, chance and community chest cards that sometimes bring with them cruel twists of fate.
Land on your opponents' properties and you could find yourself with high rents to pay. You could even end up in the bankruptcy court, and out of the game. The richest player at the end of the game, who doesn't go bankrupt, is the winner.
