High Stakes Monopoly
(a gambling with real money version)
Description:
An alteration of the typical Monopoly game using real money for not very rich people.
Needed:
a complete monopoly set
real money (about $50 per person)
3 people or more
Main Alteration:
Move the decimal place on all denomination two places to the left so every dollar is now one cent.
(ex. $500 is now $5 and $152 is now $1.52)
Set Up:
- Everyone antes 10 bucks to fill the bank (or an agreed upon sum).
- The house should have penny, nickle, and dime rolls to buy out some of the bills.
- Players are allowed to have no more than $15 dollars starting cash. They can have less, but they are starting the game at a disadvantage.
- The banker or house should be a nonplayer to minimize disputes.
Gameplay:
- Start at go and follow the official rules of monopoly with the Main Alteration.
- When a player "passes go" they recieve 2 dollars, if the bank has money. If the bank does not have money when a player passes go, that player is allowed to up the ante at a maximum of $10. They may then collect their $2.
- Any player that does not want to meet the new ante may "fold" by returning all of their assets to the bank for the morgage price or selling them to another player.
- A player may not fold if there is money in the bank or a new ante has not been declared.
- Game continues until all but one player has folded or been bankrupted.
Deals:
Players may make deals with each other with in-game assets only.
This will be difficult to control. Be lax with it, but do not tell your players that.
