HASBRO Monopoly Nostalgia User Manual

If the Bank has no more houses to sell, players wishing
to build must wait for another player to return or sell
houses to the Bank before they can build.

If there are a limited number of houses available,
and two or more players wish to buy more than the
Bank has, the Bank must auction the houses to the
highest bidder.

HOTELS

You must have four houses on each property of a
complete color-group before you can buy a hotel. You
may then buy a hotel from the Bank to be erected on
any property of that color-group.

To build a hotel, you must ask the Bank to exchange
the four houses on the chosen property for a hotel as
well as make the payment printed on the Title Deed.

It can be very advantageous to erect hotels because
very large rents are charged for them.

ONLY ONE HOTEL MAY BE ERECTED ON ANY
ONE PROPERTY.

cost, as printed on the Title Deeds. This cash is given
to the creditor. If you have mortgaged property, you
also turn it over to your creditor, and the new owner
must at once pay the Bank the amount of interest on
the loan, which is 10% of the value of the property.
If the new owner does not lift the mortgage, he/she
must still pay the interest. If the new owner lifts the
mortgage later, he/she will pay additional interest at
10% as well as the principal.

If you owe the Bank more than you can pay, even
by selling off buildings and mortgaging property,
you must turn over all assets to the Bank. The
Bank will immediately auction all property so taken,
except buildings.

Remove your token from the board once bankruptcy
proceedings are completed.

WINNING

The last player remaining in the game wins.

ABRIDGED VERSIONS OF THE GAME

SELLING PROPERTY

Undeveloped properties, railroads and utilities (but
not buildings) may be sold to any player as a private
transaction for a sum agreeable to the owner. No
property, however, may be sold to another player if any
buildings stand on any property of that color-group. If
any owner wishes to sell a property from a color-group,
all buildings erected on the property must be sold back
to the Bank.

Houses and hotels may be sold back to the Bank at any
time for one-half the price paid for them.

All houses on one color-group must be sold one by
one, evenly, in reverse of the manner in which they
were erected.

All hotels on one color-group may be sold at once,
or they may be sold one house at a time (one hotel
equals five houses), evenly, in reverse of the manner in
which they were erected.

MORTAGES

The Bank lends money only on mortgage security.
Players may not borrow money or property from
each other.

You may arrange mortgages on unimproved properties
through the Bank in order to raise more money.
Before you can mortgage a property, you must sell
all the buildings on the property back to the Bank
at half price.

The mortgage value of each property is printed on
the back of each Title Deed. The interest rate on
mortgages is 10%. This must be repaid, along with the
full amount borrowed, when the mortgage is lifted.

If you buy a mortgaged property, you may choose
to lift the mortgage at once by paying the principal
plus 10% interest. If you do not lift the mortgage
immediately, you must still pay the interest
when buying the property, and if you choose to
lift the mortgage later on, you must pay the Bank
an additional 10% interest as well as the amount
of the mortgage.

BANKRUPTCY

You are declared bankrupt if you owe more than you
can pay either to another player or to the Bank.

If your debt is to another player, you must turn over to
that player all that you have of value and retire from
the game. If you own houses or hotels, you must return
these to the Bank, which will buy them for half their

Short Game (60 to 90 Minutes)

There are five changed rules for this version of
the game:

During PREPARATION, the Banker shuffles then
deals three Title Deed cards to each player. These
are free – no payment to the Bank is required.

You need only three houses (instead of four) on each lot
of a complete color-group before you may buy a hotel.
Hotel rent remains the same. The turn-in value is still
one-half the purchase price, which in this game is one
house less than in the regular game.

If you land in Jail, you must exit on your next turn
by 1) using a “Get Out of Jail Free” card if you have
(or can buy) one; or 2) rolling doubles; or 3) paying $50.
Unlike the standard rules, you may try to roll doubles
and, failing to do so, pay the $50 on the same turn.

The penalty for landing on “Income Tax” is a flat
$200.

END OF GAME: The game ends when one player
goes bankrupt. The remaining players value their
property by 1) cash on hand; 2) lots, utilities and
railroads owned, at the price printed on the board; 3)
any mortgaged property owned, at one-half the price
printed on the board; 4) houses, valued at purchase
price; 5) hotels, valued at purchase price including the
value of three houses turned in.

The richest player wins!

Time Limit Game

There are three changed rules for this version
of the game:

THE GAME IN BRIEF

The object of the MONOPOLY game is to become the
wealthiest player through buying, renting and selling property.
The player who remains in the game the longest is the winner,
unless either the Short Game or Time Limit Game version is
played (see rules below).

To play, move the tokens around the board according
to each throw of the dice. When your token lands on a space
that is not already owned by another player, you may buy
it from the Bank. If you do not want to buy it, it is auctioned
off to the highest bidder. Players who own properties collect
rents from opponents who stop there. The erection of houses
and hotels greatly increases the rents paid on properties, so
it is wise to build on as many properties as possible. To raise
more money, the Bank can mortgage properties. Players
must always obey the instructions given on Chance and
Community Chest cards. Players sometimes go to Jail.

Enjoy shrewd and amusing trading excitement with the
MONOPOLY game!

Ages 8 to Adult / 2 to 6 Players

EQUIPMENT

1 board, 2 dice, tokens, 32 houses, 12 hotels, Chance
cards, Community Chest cards, Title Deeds and
MONOPOLY game money.

GAME SET-UP

Place the board on a table and put the Chance
and Community Chest cards face down on their
allotted spaces. Each player chooses one token that
will represent him/her while traveling around the
board.

Banker:

Select as Banker a player who will also make a good
Auctioneer. A Banker who plays in the game must
keep his/her personal funds separate from those of the
Bank. When more than five persons play, the Banker

can choose to act only as Banker and Auctioneer.

The Banker’s duties are:

• Looking after the money

• Holding all Title Deeds, houses and hotels prior to
purchase and use by the players

• Paying salaries and bonuses

• Selling properties to the players and delivering the
proper Title Deed cards

• Auctioning properties

• Selling houses and hotels

• Lending money when required on mortgages (see
Mortgages, below)

• Receiving from players the price of all properties
bought from it, taxes, fines, money penalties, loans
and interest

The Banker gives each player $1500 divided as follows:

$500 bills ........ 2 $10 bills ........ 5

$100 bills ........ 2 $5 bills .......... 5-

$50 bills .......... 2 $1 bills .......... 5

$20 bills .......... 6

All remaining money goes into the Bank.

The Bank never “goes broke.” If the Bank runs out of
money, the Banker issues IOUs for whatever amounts
are required by writing the amount on a piece of paper.
IOUs can be exchanged for cash whenever cash is
available; otherwise they are simply counted in the
assets of the player holding them.

PLAYING THE GAME

Starting with the Banker, each player in turn throws
the dice. The player with the highest total is the first to
play.

To begin, place your token on the GO space, throw the
dice and move your token in the direction of the arrow
the number of spaces indicated by the dice. After you
have completed the move, the turn passes to the left.
Each token remains on the space occupied and proceeds
from that point on the next turn. Two or more tokens
may rest on the same space at the same time.

Once your token lands on a space, you may be entitled
to one of the following, depending upon the condition
of that space:

• Buy property

• Pay rent (if another player owns the property)

• Pay taxes

• Draw a Chance or Community Chest card

• Go to Jail

• Remain on Free Parking

• Collect $200 salary

Doubles:

If you throw doubles, move your token as usual. You
are subject to any privileges or penalties of the space
on which you land. Throw the dice again, and move
your token as before. If you throw doubles three times
in succession, you must move your token immediately
to the “IN JAIL” space; this ends your turn.

Passing GO:

The Banker pays you a $200 salary every time your
token either lands on or passes GO, whether you reach
or pass there by throwing the dice or drawing card,
unless otherwise indicated by the card.

The $200 is paid only once each time around the board.
However, if you pass GO on a throw of the dice and
land two spaces beyond it on Community Chest or

seven spaces beyond it on Chance, and you draw the
“Advance to GO” card, you collect $200 twice (for the
two times you passed GO).

Landing on Unowned Property:

When you land on an unowned property, whether
by throw of the dice or a move forced by drawing a
Chance or Community Chest card, you may buy that
property from the Bank at the printed price.

If you choose to buy, you pay the Bank for that property
and receive the Title Deed card as proof of ownership.
Place the card face up in front of you.

If you do not wish to buy the property, the Banker sells
it at auction to the highest bidder. The buyer pays in
cash and receives the Title Deed from the Banker as
proof of ownership. All players, including the one who
declined the option of buying at the original price, may
bid. Bidding may start at any price.

Paying Rent:

When you land on property owned by another player,
either by a throw of the dice or by a move forced by a
Chance or Community Chest card, the owner collects
rent from you in accordance with the list printed on
the property’s Title Deed card.

If the property contains one or more houses, the rent is
larger than it would be for an unimproved property.

If the property is mortgaged, the player who owns
the property does not collect rent. You indicate a
mortgaged property by turning the property’s Title
Deed face down.

IF THE OWNER FAILS TO ASK FOR RENT BEFORE
THE NEXT THROW OF THE DICE, NO RENT
IS COLLECTED.

It is an advantage to hold all the Title Deeds for a color­group (e.g., Boardwalk and Park Place, or Connecticut,
Vermont and Oriental Avenues) because the owner may
then charge double rent for unimproved properties in
that color-group. This rule applies to unmortgaged
properties even if another property in that color-group
is mortgaged.

It is even more advantageous to own houses and hotels
on properties because rents are much higher than for
unimproved properties.

Landing on Chance or Community Chest:

When you land on either of these spaces, take the
top card from the relevant deck. You must follow the
instructions printed on the card, then return the card
face down to the bottom of the deck.

You may keep the GET OUT OF JAIL FREE card until
you need it. After using it, return it to the bottom of
the deck. If you don’t wish to use it, you may sell it
to another player at any time, at a mutually agreed
price.

Whenever players pay fines from Chance or
Community Chest cards, they must pay the
money into the Bank.

Landing on Income Tax:

If you land here, you have two options: You may
estimate your tax at $200 and pay the Bank, or you
may pay 10% of your total worth to the Bank. Your
total worth is all your cash on hand, printed prices
of mortgaged and unmortgaged properties and cost
price of all buildings you own. You must decide which
option you will take before you add up your total worth.

Landing on Free Parking:

When you land on this space, you receive no benefit
nor incur any penalty and move ahead in the usual
manner on your next turn. This is just a “free”
resting place.

JAIL

You go to Jail if:

• Your token lands on the space marked GO TO
JAIL.

• You draw a card marked GO TO JAIL.

• You throw doubles three times in succession.

When you are sent to Jail, your turn immediately ends
there. You do not collect a $200 salary on that turn
because you do not pass GO, but instead move directly
to JAIL.

If you are not “sent to Jail” but, in the ordinary course
of play, reach that space, you are considered “just
visiting” and incur no penalty. You move ahead in the
usual manner on your next turn.

You get out of Jail by:

• Throwing doubles on any of your next three turns
after landing in Jail. If you succeed in doing this,
you immediately move forward the number of spaces
shown on your doubles throw. Even though you
threw doubles, you do not take another turn.

• Using your GET OUT OF JAIL FREE card if you
have it.

• Purchasing a GET OUT OF JAIL FREE card from
another player and using it.

• Paying a $50 fine before throwing the dice on either
of your next two turns.

If you do not throw doubles by your third turn, you
must pay the $50 fine. You then get out of Jail and
immediately move forward from Jail the number
of spaces shown by your throw.

You may buy and erect houses, buy or sell property and
collect rent even though you are in Jail.

HOUSES

You must own a complete color-group before you are
allowed to buy houses from the Bank. If you buy one
house, you may put it on any one of the properties
in that color-group. The next house you buy must be
put on one of the unoccupied properties of this or any
other complete color-group you own. The price to pay
the Bank for each house is shown on each property’s
Title Deed.

Players continue to collect double rent on the
unimproved properties of their complete color-groups
from any opponent landing on them.

You may, at any time during your turn, buy and
erect as many houses as your judgment and financial
standing will allow in accordance with the above rules.
You must, however, build evenly. You cannot erect more
than one house on any property of a color-group until
you have built one house on every property of that
color-group. You may then begin to build a second row
of houses and so on, up to a limit of four houses to one
property. You may not, for instance, build three houses
on one property if you have only one house on another
property of that color-group. Similarly, properties must
be maintained evenly: If houses have to be sold they
must be removed equally from all the properties of a
color-group. Houses may not be built if any property of
the same color-group is mortgaged.
