Act Twenty-Three: During the game

Thompson nodded and said, "Yes." ”

Gilbert leaned back in his chair, chin to the sky, eyes swept down the humble little beggars and inferior Irishmen.

No one liked his appearance, but who made him a "nobleman"? At Yale, there are still many people who give him face.

His demeanor lasted for about ten seconds, and his haughty thoughts couldn't resist the itching of his hands after all.

Although the game "Monopoly" is an inferior thing made by a humble little beggar. But even if it's an inferior thing, he wants to play it!

Thompson, who had known Gilbert for a long time, knew what kind of he was going to poop when he saw his constipated appearance, and he acted as Kassel and said, "Come on, let's play together." ”

Doug didn't care about Gilbert's contempt, because Gilbert's contempt didn't hurt him at all.

Besides, the best business can only be achieved by being kind to the majority of people.

The person in front of him hates himself, as long as he uses his own products, he is a good customer.

The tablecloth was spread out, and Sheffield finally saw the pattern on the magical cloth.

Several people took out local materials, and Doug pulled out his first silver coin as a pawn to represent himself.

Sheffield took out the plump ears of wheat that he used to show off the superiority of the plantation.

Sheffield's attendant took out an ornament made of unidentified hair.

Thompson broke off the unused, dry spoon at hand.

Gilbert even took out his family crest - a scalpel and a pill crossed, showing his identity as a medical family.

The game begins.

Each of the five players rolls two dice.

Doug: "5+5" 10 points.

Sheffield: "1+3" 4 points.

Sheffield follow-up: "2+4" 6 points.

Thompson: "5+2" 7 points.

Gilbert: "6+1" 7 points.

Doug, who has the most points, is ranked first.

Thompson and Gilbert with a total of 7 points, according to the rules, Gilbert with the higher number of single dice started second, Thompson was third, Sheffield was fourth, and Sheffield was fifth.

Doug rolls the dice, and "2+1" starts from the starting point and buys the first piece of land.

……

The game continues.

After only one round, everyone was immersed in the game, even if they were still ignorant of the rules of the game.

As long as the two dice rolled by the player have the same number of points, they can move to the destination and roll again.

The land is divided into four colors, and each color has four plots, and each plot of land can build four small houses.

Owning all properties of the same color will increase the land price by 200% of the original price, and you can build a house before any player moves.

After passing through the Borderlands, the player can choose to buy, forfeit, or auction it.

The purchase will own the land, and the auction will be joined by other players to bid on the land or receive a land transfer fee.

Players passing by their own land can choose to build a house. After building four small houses on each piece of land, a larger one can be built, which is equivalent to a five-house hotel. At the same time as the hotel was built, the bank reclaimed four small houses.

Players passing by other people's land need to pay tolls.

The toll is 10% of the value of the land and its attachments.

The purchased land can be mortgaged and sold, and the mortgage loan price is 80% of the price of the land and its attachments. Mortgaged houses cannot be charged tolls and cannot be built.

The land with the attachment is sold to the bank and can be sold separately, but the hotel needs the bank to have a house for change.

Players can trade open space between themselves, and priority will be given to the land that is proposed first.

……

If the dice roll happens to land on the prison grid, you will be imprisoned for three turns.

While in prison, you can still collect rent, build houses, and trade, but you can't move. Unless two dice of the same value are rolled. If you don't roll the same number of dice after three rounds, pay a 50-point fine and leave jail.

The stock exchange owns shares in three public service companies, including railroad companies and water companies.

The initial price of the stock is determined by the first person to go to the stock exchange to cast the dice, which is the number of dice points * 10, and the stock price fluctuation is determined by the single dice of each player who steps on the stock exchange.

Each time you pass the starting point, you will receive 200 purchase points.

……

If, after selling or pledging all assets, there is still not enough cash to pay the debt, the player will declare bankruptcy.

All assets are transferred directly to the creditor. Creditors are subject to an immediate 10% transaction tax when they take possession of the property. If you don't pay, you will take back the ownership of the land and wait for the player to buy it again.

If the bankrupt player's creditor is a bank, the bank immediately conducts an unreserved auction.

If there are more than two creditors, the bank pays the debt and immediately auctions off all the unreserved land.

……

The final victory condition is that all competitors go bankrupt.

Or in a limited number of game times, the player with the highest total assets wins.

Such complex rules are written in the diagonal blank space of the canvas.

With the exception of Doug's initial canvases, the rest of the canvases were painted by semi-literate female workers, who painted tigers like lions, and inevitably painted ligers that were not words like nondescript.

However, the magic of the game "Monopoly" is that as long as one person in the game understands the rules, then everyone in the game, even if they don't look up the rules, will understand the rules.

This is not yet useful among these literate Yale students, but it will certainly play a huge role in the future spread of illiteracy and semi-literacy to a wider public.

Doug, who is familiar with the rules and is also a rule-maker, although he doesn't put all his mind on the game. With the blessing of bad luck and bad luck, it is still in the leading position.

Thompson, who has already played once, is more skilled than other players.

Gilbert looked down on the game on the surface, but when he got back yesterday, the devil knows how long he thought about it.

The first to go bankrupt was Sheffield and his henchmen from the south.

The bankruptcy was certainly lost, but the excitement on the faces of the two young people did not diminish in the slightest.

"Great! Wonderful!" exclaimed Sheffield as if the bird was no longer in pain, and shouted loudly and uneducatedly.

He looked into Doug's gaze, and even had an air of adoration.

It was the first time he had seen such a wonderful game.

When he was in the south, he often followed his uncle.

Uncle also often played some money gambling (harmony) games.

But playing back and forth, playing with different tricks, and playing poker.

Sheffield's familiarity with playing cards has reached the point where he can tell the male and female at a glance.

Knowing poker and knowing that the rules of the game are difficult to set, he looked at Doug as if he was looking at God.

As for the plantation board game, he had long forgotten about the Caribbean.

"Sell it to me! You must sell it to me!" Sheffield said, shaking Doug's hand with a look on his face.
