Your Passport
Two of the nine themed boards are available from the start of the game. Each time you add a property to your portfolio, your passport gets a stamp.
Once you've earned enough stamps, you earn a brand-new board to play on. Soon you'll be visiting the next century on the future board, or dining out on the cheese board!
As you advance, you will need to acquire more and more stamps to earn later boards. Review your passport in the Choose Board screen to check your progress and see properties you've yet to earn stamps for.

GAME SCREEN
Each player's cash or total worth (depending on game mode) is displayed. Each player has their own unique color and tab shape to identify them throughout the game.
Tabs on the board match the players' unique color and shape to indicate which player owns each property. When a player owns all the properties in a group, the properties and tabs in the monopoly have gold edges.
Saving and Loading
Once a save game is created, the game auto-saves by default at the end of each round. You automatically have the option to load the save file the next time you play.
MONOPOLY EDITION
Play MONOPOLY just like you remember it! The rules for this mode are the same as the classic board game, or customize your play with the different house rules available. On your turn, roll the dice by pressing the button. Your token moves clockwise the number of spaces corresponding to your dice roll. If you roll doubles, you get to go again, but if you roll three doubles in a row, you'll be sent to jail!
Players start with a small fortune to pay their way around the board. As you move, you pass GO and collect your salary, buy properties, charge rent, or trade with competitors to amass monopolies.
If you have a monopoly, you can build houses or hotels to charge the highest rent possible and drive your opponents out of business. If you're the last player with money after all the others have gone bankrupt, you win!
NOTE: The M in Monopoly Edition represents millions, while the K represents thousands.
CHOOSE BOARD
Any themed boards you've unlocked with your Passport are available to use. Press the button on PASSPORT to see how many stamps you need to reach your next renewal.
CHOOSE HOW MANY CONTROLLERS YOU WANT TO USE
You can play "hotseat" style with just one controller, or each player can play with their own controller, up to a maximum of four.
PLAYER SETUP
Choose to enter your player name and select your token. Then set opponents to either CPUs of various difficulty or humans.
House Rules
Should tax money go into the Free Parking pot? Do players have to evenly distribute houses among the properties in a monopoly before building hotels? Play how you like by tweaking the list of HOUSE RULES, accessible via the Who's Playing? summary screen.
Simply highlight your choice and move the left stick or press the Directional Buttons ◄ or ► for options that sound good. Select OK to confirm.
NOTE: House Rules reset with each new game, but are retained if you save a game mid-way through.
WHEN YOU LAND ON...
Most of the spaces around the board are properties you can buy or sell in your quest for real estate domination, but some have other effects. The list below explains the possible outcomes depending on where your playing piece stops. Note that this list does not include spaces where nothing happens. Free Parking, for example, only has an effect if you add a specific House Rule.
•
UNOWNED PROPERTY: You can choose to buy the property or put it up for auction. When someone else passes on a purchase, you can bid in the auction by pressing the ✖ button. The more property you own, the more rent you can collect!
•
OWNED PROPERTY: You owe rent, which can be very expensive if the property is part of a monopoly improved with houses or a hotel.
•
YOUR OWN PROPERTY: You do not have to take any action—however, at the end of your turn, you may
