Rule Changes

Buying Property:

  • When a player lands on an unbought property, just like Monopoly 1.0, they are given the choice to but the property outright, or send it to auction

  • If they chose to buy the property outright:

    • The player must roll a multiplier (D3) die to determine how much they will pay for the property:

      • Roll a 1 = Listed property value

      • Roll a 2 = 2X Listed property value

      • Roll a 3 = 3X Listed property value

  • If they chose to send the property to auction

    • All players partake in a Second-Price Sealed Bid Auction

      • Everyone hides their bidding devices and places their bids

      • Everyone reveals their bid at the same time

      • The person with the highest bid wins the auction

      • The winner pays the price of the second highest bid times times their multiplier die roll (see below):

        • Roll a 1 = Second highest bid

        • Roll a 2 = 2X Second highest bid

        • Roll a 3 = 3X Second highest bid

Passing Go:

  • When a player passes Go

    • Player rolls the multiplier die

      • Roll a 1 = Collect $200

      • Roll a 2 = Collect $200 X 2 = $400

      • Roll a 3 = Collect $200 X 3 = $600

Paying Rent:

  • When a player lands on an opponents property, they must value their crypto currencies against each other to determine how much the renter owes the owner

    • Both players roll two D6 dice

    • The player that rolls higher wins

      • If they tie, they must reroll

    • If the owner wins, they roll a D3 with the following outcomes:

      • Roll a 1 = Renter pays listed rent price

      • Roll a 2 = Renter pays 2X listed rent price

      • Roll a 3 = Renter pays 3X listed rent price

    • If the renter wins, they roll a D3 with the following outcomes:

      • Roll a 1 = Renter pays listed rent price

      • Roll a 2 = Renter pays 1/2X listed rent price

      • Roll a 3 = Renter pays 1/4X listed rent price
