How to play Monopoly
Everything a new player needs — from creating a room to bankrupting the table. Read a section, then jump in and practice with friends.
Getting started
Create or join a private room in under a minute — no install needed.
- 1Go to BoardVerse and choose Monopoly (or open this game page).
- 2Tap Create Room, or Join Room and enter a 6-character code.
- 3Pick a display name if you are playing as a guest.
- 4Share the room link or code with friends (2–8 players total).
- 5When everyone is ready, the host presses Start Game.
Tips
- • You can reconnect later with the same room code if you disconnect.
- • Guest play works without email — just a display name.
Your turn
Each turn follows a simple loop: roll, resolve the tile, then end turn.
- 1When it is your turn, press Roll Dice.
- 2Your token moves the rolled number of spaces.
- 3If you land on an unowned property, you may Buy it or let it go to Auction.
- 4If you land on another player’s property, pay the rent shown.
- 5After all actions, press End Turn so the next player can go.
Tips
- • Doubles usually grant another roll — watch the turn banner.
- • Always check cash before buying; bankrupt means you are out.
Properties, houses & hotels
Own color sets to build and raise rent — that is how you win.
- 1Buy streets, stations, and utilities when you can afford them.
- 2Complete a full color set to unlock building.
- 3Build houses evenly across the set, then upgrade to hotels.
- 4Mortgage properties if you need emergency cash (rent stops while mortgaged).
Tips
- • Stations pay more the more stations you own.
- • Utilities rent is based on dice rolls — useful late game.
Jail & special tiles
Chance, Community Chest, Tax, Go, and Jail keep the game moving.
- 1Landing on Go To Jail sends you to Jail — you do not collect GO money on that move.
- 2From Jail you can try doubles, pay the fine, or use a Get Out of Jail card.
- 3Chance and Community Chest draw a card and apply its effect immediately.
- 4Income Tax / Luxury Tax deduct cash when you land on them.
- 5Passing GO always pays you the GO bonus.
Trading & auctions
Deals and auctions are the fastest way to complete sets.
- 1Open Trade to offer cash and/or properties to another player.
- 2Both players must accept before the trade completes.
- 3If someone declines to buy a property, it goes to auction — highest bid wins.
Tips
- • Fair trades that complete your set are often worth more than raw cash.
- • Do not overbid auctions if it leaves you unable to pay rent.
How you win
Bankrupt every opponent. The last player standing wins the match.
- 1Force opponents to pay rent they cannot cover.
- 2If a player cannot pay, they go bankrupt and leave the game.
- 3When only one player remains, that player is the winner.
