Monopoly (board game)

Consumer Discretionary

Monopoly is a multiplayer economics themed board game. Players roll two standard dice to move their token clockwise around the board, buying and trading properties and railroads and developing them with houses and hotels. Players collect rent from opponents and aim to drive them into bankruptcy, with money also gained or lost through Chance and Community Chest cards and tax squares. Players receive a salary each time they pass Go and can be sent to jail, from which they cannot move until meeting one of three conditions. Hundreds of different editions, house rules, and spin offs exist alongside related media.
