| Monopoly
Two or more players play it on a special board. They move according
to the throw of dice, engaging in mock real estate transactions with play
money.
Charles Darrow invented the game in 1933. The object of the game is
to become the richest and the only player by buying and selling property
and collecting rents.
We need a board marked with coloured groups of properties and others:
railway stations, jail, taxation, cards for chance, model houses and hotels,
play money, a token for each player and a pair of dice. |

One player is chosen to be the banker he/she must keep bank transactions

The token is moved round the board according to the dice score.
The players go round the board buying up properties. Next phase: the
player start to develop their properties building houses and hotels.
The last phase: the sites are developed to the point where rentals
