2. The sequence of moves is determined using game cubes, each player must throw away the maximum possible number. Who has a higher number, that first and starts the game.
3. Each player throws cubes, where the resulting number determines the corresponding number of moves in the cells of the field. What field the player stopped, he needs to perform the action: either buy real estate, or put it up for auction, pay for a tax, or play a “chance” or “public treasury” card.

For example, the player falls on a free cell with real estate, he needs to buy it by the amount of the indicated on the cell. As soon as other players get to the purchased real estate, they have to sink rent. The cost of rent is indicated on the purchased ownership card.

The playing field consists of color sets of real estate, so when the player collects a full color set of streets (real estate), the rent is increasing, it becomes possible to build at home. Similarly, a price list is written on each ownership card, how much is the construction of a house, a hotel and how much rent to other participants who fell on this property will cost. The main condition, you need to build houses evenly. After building 4 houses on 1 street, you can build only one hotel, no more!

As soon as the player ends money, he can sell his homes, hotels, and also lay property. The cost of the pledge is indicated on the back of the card, if the player laid his property, he receives the indicated amount from the bank and turns the card with the other side next to the game cell. In this case, the ability to build houses and hotels disappears when at least one property from the color kit in the pledge, until it is bought from the bank.
