Understanding the Monopoly Bank
In a game of Monopoly, the bank plays a crucial role in managing the flow of money. The bank is responsible for distributing money to players when they land on properties, collecting rent from players who land on properties owned by other players, and providing loans to players who wish to buy properties or build houses and hotels.
The Starting Bankroll
At the beginning of the game, each player is given $1,500 in cash. This amount is used to purchase properties, build houses and hotels, and make other investments. The starting bankroll is a significant amount, as it allows players to make substantial investments early in the game.
Bankruptcies and Bankruptcies
Throughout the game, players may accumulate wealth or go bankrupt. When a player goes bankrupt, they must sell all of their properties, houses, and hotels back to the bank at a discounted price. The bank then receives the money from these sales and adds it to its reserves. Conversely, when a player is declared bankrupt, the bank may provide a loan to help them recover from their financial troubles.
Property Prices and Rent
Property prices in Monopoly vary widely, with some properties being more expensive than others. The price of a property is determined by its location on the board and the color group it belongs to. Generally, properties in the same color group have similar prices, with the exception of the utilities and railroads, which are more expensive.
