How to Play
The Monopoly board is set up with 28 properties to purchase, three Chance spaces, three Community Chest spaces, a Luxury Tax space, an Income Tax space, and the four corner squares: GO, Jail, Free Parking, and Go to Jail. Players take turns rolling the dice and moving around the board. If you land on a Chance or Community Chest space, you must take a card and do whatever it says. If you land on a property space that is owned by someone else, you must pay them rent. If the property space is not owned by anyone, you have the chance to purchase it yourself. The object of the game is to have more money than other players, which can be accomplished by owning the highest rent properties or owning numerous properties.Monopoly Movie
In November of 2008, Hasbro, the current owners of the Monopoly brand, and Universal Studios, announced that they would be co-producing a feature film based on the Monopoly game, to be produced and directed by Ridley Scott. The film will be a family comedy, which Scott hopes to give a "futuristic sheen", reminiscent of his classic sci-fi film Blade Runner.Hollywood Reporter: Monopoly has Electric Company (November 12, 2008)-
