The rules, step by step
- Each turn: draw 2 cards, then play up to 3 — bank money, lay properties, or fire an action.
- First to THREE complete colour sets wins, on the spot.
- Rent, the Loan Shark and Pass the Hat make people pay. Payment comes off the table — bank or properties — never from a hand.
- There is no change. Overpay and the difference is simply gone.
- Paid properties change owners for good — and can complete the other side’s set.
- Not So Fast! cancels an action outright. A second Not So Fast! cancels the first.
- A banked property is just money now; it can never join a set again.
- More than 7 cards in hand when you end your turn? Discard down to 7.
- House rules the host can set: a softer Hostile Takeover, and Backroom Deals — a blind grab from a random rival’s hand.
- This game wants your phone SIDEWAYS — turn it to see every table at once.
Scoring and the fiddly bits
The refusal chain
A Not So Fast! cancels the action outright, and the attacker may answer with one of their own. It runs until a side has none left; an odd number of refusals means the action never happened.
Settling a debt
You pay from your bank, your streets and your buildings — never from your hand — and you pick the cards. Anything worth more than the debt is simply lost.
Who rent bills
A two-colour rent card charges every other player at once; the rainbow rent charges one player you name. Either can be doubled by a Rent Hike for an extra play.
Houses and hotels
A House sits only on a complete set and adds 3M to its rent; a Hotel adds 4M and needs the House down first. Stations and utilities take neither.
Our names on the cards
The set thief is a Hostile Takeover, the refusal is Not So Fast!, the 5M shakedown is the Loan Shark, and the streets are our own. The mechanics are the ones you know.
