.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
||||
.Nm Monop
|
||||
is reminiscent of the Parker Brother's game Monopoly, and
|
||||
monitors a game between 1 to 9 users.
|
||||
It is assumed that the rules of Monopoly are known.
|
||||
The game follows the standard rules, with the exception that,
|
||||
if a property goes up for auction and there are only two solvent players,
|
||||
no auction is held and the property remains unowned.
|
||||
.Nm
|
||||
The game, in effect, lends the player money,
|
||||
so it is possible to buy something which you cannot afford.
|
||||
However, as soon as a person goes into debt,
|
||||
he must
|
||||
.Dq fix the problem ,
|
||||
.Em i.e. ,
|
||||
make himself solvent, before play can continue.
|
||||
If this is not possible, the player's property reverts to his debtee,
|
||||
either a player or the bank.
|
||||
A player can resign at any time to any person or the bank,
|
||||
which puts the property back on the board, unowned.
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
Any time that the response to a question is a

||||

||||
e.g., a name, place or person, you can type

||||

|
||||
to get a list of valid answers.

||||
It is not possible to input a negative number, nor is it ever necessary.
