the rules of original monopoly board game

It’s a maxim that would certainly serve you well in a game of Monopoly, the bestselling board game that has taught generations of children to buy up property, stack it with hotels, and charge fellow players sky-high rents for the privilege of accidentally landing there. In the end, we elected to just do tribute to the game with a custom poster instead of attempting what certainly would be a multi-day undertaking.‘Buy land – they aren’t making it any more,’ quipped Mark Twain. If you’re one of those people, look for graphic files here! Some might even wish to customize the money instead of using the regular bills. If you’re going to try to include the Stock Exchange portion of the game, you will find printable files here. Feel free to use colored paper when printing these. We can’t forget the new Community Chest and Chance cards. The extra property cards are a must – and here they are! Next comes the board – click on the image below to get a 300dpi full-sized copy. Additionally you’ll want all of the files below to complete the game.įirst, you’ll want the rules. To that you’ll need to download and print the fan-made files for the Super Add-on. The behemoth of a board is available in hi-res for download if you’d like to begin assembling your own copy! You’ll need an original copy of Monopoly as well as the Mega Edition.

Not only did he mash up a three-tiered board, there are accompanying files that offer a complete ruleset, printable property and Chance/Community Chest cards and even a mockup box lid! There’s a great thread on BoardGameGeek that chronicles the creation of the game.

Six years ago, a user on Deviant Art, created what has to be the scariest version of Monopoly ever seen. I think the last time we did play, it sat on the coffee table for days before we finally gave in and put it away. Usually we agree to pause it at some point for dinner or such and then never seem to get back to it.

I have to admit, it’s been a long time since I’ve played a complete game. While it is usually the subject of “flipping tables” among the hobby game crowd, there’s a reason it is the most popular and best selling board game ever made.

Over the years there have been dozens of official and unofficial add-ons to the classic game of Monopoly. We’re bringing it to light because we’ve recently used the game to decorate our basement game area and thought it would be cool to show it to the rest of the world. Before you start to panic, rest assured that Ultimate Monopoly isn’t going to be the next must-have game for your collection.
