I decided I might expand my little joke in the saybox into a full-fledged game. Aren't you all lucky? ;D
This game can be played with a regular monopoly board.
The Rules
The point of this game is to work together and spread the wealth evenly amongst the members. Certain properties you will be GIVING money to and certain properties you will be TAKING money from. Everyone works as a team, you all win or lose together.
Free Parking is now another Go to Jail space. If you are sent to jail, your comrades must pay $1,000, divided amongst themselves to get you out of jail. You are not permitted to contribute to this in any way.
You begin with $1,000 each. The point is to get every property to the point in which there are four houses on EVERY property. Baltic Avenue, Mediterranean Avenue, Oriental Avenue, Vermont Avenue and Connecticut Avenue are considered to be low-income housing. They begin with no houses and no money in them.
St. Charles Place, States Avenue, Verginia Avenue, St. James Place, Tenessee Avenue, and New York Avenue are all middle class areas. They begin with two houses.
Kentucky Avenue, Indiana Avenue, Illinois Avenue, Atlantic Avenue, Ventnor Avenue, Marvin Gardens, Pacific Avenue, North Carolina Avenue, Pensylvannia Avenue, Park Place and Board Walk are all wealthy neighborhoods. They begin with hotels, which are, for the purposes of this game, "mansions".
The railroads and utilities are considered to be owned by the wealthy. We'll cover those in a moment.
The point of the game is redistributing wealth. When you land on a lower income area, you must give at least $100 to the property in order to encourage growth. Each property needs to have 4 houses on it in order to win the game. Houses for each property cost $2,000 each, so each property should have $8,000 invested in it by the end of the game. No more, no less.
The "upper class" houses begin with a certain amount of money, equal to the listed price under their name multiplied by 10. Whenever you land on that space, you take the amount of money listed on the property square. When all the money has been taken, the next time someone lands on the space, the mansion is taken away, and the property must be built up from scratch.
The utilities must be bought from their owners and distributed fairly amongst the people. They each cost 10 times their listed price, and you may make payments to them whenever you are able. Once completely paid off, you need not make any more payments.
Luxury Tax becomes Government Military Tax and is raised to $200. If you do not pay it, you are sent to jail.
All other rules remain the same. Chance and Community Chest cards may be changed at your leisure, for example, "Get out of Jail Free" can become "Break out of Jail", and you may invent new rulings on the cards as you so desire.
Passing Go only nets $100, not $200.
Anyways, if anyone actually DOES want to play this, tell me how it works out. If there are problems, I can correct them.
