Monopoly: The Mega Edition

Monopoly: The Mega Edition is an expanded and accelerated version of the classic Monopoly. This game features a significantly larger board with 12 additional spaces, including 9 new properties that bring more diversity to the experience. Among the new features, you can acquire California, Florida, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey, South Carolina and Arctic Avenues, as well as the Gas Company. With the addition of skyscrapers, their ability to generate income becomes even more impressive. Construction now allows you to take your properties to a new level, increasing your chances of collecting "mega" rents. The game becomes dynamic, as you can build houses and hotels as soon as you own three of the four properties in a group, or even two in smaller groups. Each player starts the game with R$2500, including a R$1000 bill, and during your turn you roll two traditional dice and a special "speed" die. This dice can take you quickly to the next available property or, later in the game, it can send you to pay rent on a property that isn't yours. In addition, you will have the opportunity to win "bus tickets", allowing you to move freely around the board, but be aware that they are time-limited! With an estimated playing time of just 1½ hours, Monopoly: The Mega Edition combines the strategy of classic Monopoly with new rules that guarantee a vibrant, action-packed experience. Get ready for a game that's faster, more exciting and a lot more fun!

Choose one player to be the banker. This player will take care of all the money, property, houses and skyscrapers that are not in the players' possession. The banker will also be responsible for auctioning off the properties.

Distribute the starting amount of money to each player. In The Mega Edition, each player starts with $2,500: two of $500, four of $100, one of $50, one of $20, three of $10, two of $5 and five of $1.

Place all the Title Deed cards for unpurchased properties in the box. Deal the Chance and Community Box cards into the corresponding spaces on the board.

Each player chooses a pawn and starts on the GO mark. The players take turns rolling the dice and moving their pawns clockwise around the board.

If the pawn lands on an unowned property, the player can buy it for the amount shown on the space. If they decide not to buy it, the banker will auction it off among the other players.

If the pawn stops on a property that has already been bought, the player must pay rent to the owner, unless the property is mortgaged. The amount of rent increases if the owner owns the entire set of colors.

If the player stops on a Chance or Community Box space, they must draw a card from the corresponding deck and follow the instructions.

If it lands on the Subway or Utility Company space, the player can purchase them and collect transportation or utility fees from the other players.

Build houses and skyscrapers to increase the rent. A player must own all the properties of a color set before building.

A player can borrow from the bank by mortgaging properties, but cannot collect rent from mortgaged properties until the mortgages are paid off.

In the event of bankruptcy, the player is eliminated from the game. The winner is whoever manages to make the other players go bankrupt or has the biggest fortune when the game time runs out.

Mechanics of Monopoly: The Mega Edition

• Collecting Sets: In Monopoly: The Mega Edition, the aim is to acquire properties of the same color group. When a player owns all the properties in a given set, they can build houses and hotels, significantly increasing the rent charged to opponents who land on these properties.
• Auction / Bidding: If a player lands on a property they don't want to buy, it is immediately auctioned off. All players can take part in the auction, including the player who refused the initial purchase. The bids start low and increase until only one player is willing to pay the final price, thus acquiring the property.
• Negotiation: Exchanging properties between players is a crucial strategy in the game. Bargaining involves offering money, properties, or a combination of both to acquire complete sets or desired properties. Players must be astute when negotiating to ensure that they make advantageous deals.
• Scroll / Rotate and Move: Players roll two dice each turn to determine how many squares they will move their pawns on the board. Rolling the dice influences your turn, where the player can land on properties available to buy, properties owned by other players, or locations with special instructions, such as "Luck or Reversal".
• Elimination of players: A player is eliminated from the game when he finds himself unable to pay his debts, either because he doesn't have enough money or because he can't mortgage property to cover the amount owed. The player must liquidate all their assets and leave the game, taking control of properties acquired by creditors or going to auction.
