Monopoly

Mogeln und Mauscheln

Monopoly – the main mechanisms of this game classic are well-known: You buy real estate lots, pay and earn rent, build houses and hotels, pay taxes or end up in jail. In the Cheaters Edition variant, however, a lot of features are different. Buying real estate and paying rent remain the same, but you build only hotels and are actively encouraged to cheat. The bank is handed from player to player, train stations are not for sale, utilities and taxes have been abolished, and event and community cards have been adapted to the topic. If you go to jail you must wear the handcuff, and, don’t forget, successful cheating is rewarded.

Five Cheat cards are displayed – you might have to cash the rent for another player’s lot or move any number of steps regardless of your die result or steal money from another player or not pay rent when entering another player’s lot. You can try at any time to succeed in completing such a card. You roll ad move, comply with the instruction of the case you reached and try to cheat, if you want to, and then hand die and bank on. When the next player has rolled the die, you announce if you did cheat successfully and receive the respective reward.

If you are caught cheating, you incur the penalty noted on the card. If you are accused of cheating and can prove your innocence, you receive 100 money units.

When all real estate lots are sold and all have returned to Go, you win with with most money.

Games featuring topics on „the other side” of the law have become standard, and if you can forget about educational political correctness, you can have lots of legal fun with this Monopoly version.
