Miles and Nicola's Monopoly Rules
*With thanks to Parker Bros*
* Rolling a double 1 on the dice = get $100 from the bank.
* Rolling a double 6 on the dice = the ATO (Australian Tax Office) rule. Give half of all your cash to the bank!
* Shuffle all the properties and deal them out evenly to each person before you begin the game (this speeds it up - everyone starts paying rent at once). Leave 3 properties out for negotiation - to be bought at double price if you land on them.
* If you pick up a Chance or Community Chest card and it tells you to pay money, put it in the middle of the board.
* If you land on a square that tells you to pay tax, pay half of it to the middle of the board and half of it to the bank.
* If you land in jail, you get half the money from the middle of the board.
* If you land on the "Just Visiting" jail square, choose between a Chance or a Community Chest card.
*If you land on a 'Community Chest' square, pick up a 'Chance' card. If you land on a 'Chance' square, pick up a 'Community Chest' card.
* If you land on a station - a) pay the rent to the person who owns it.
b) pay a dollar for every station the person owns (today Miles owned 3, so I paid 3 dollars) and get a ride to the next railway station. (But you have to get off after that).
This makes for a very fun game. Oh yeah, and Miles asked me to copyright it, so:

mat, you get a choice of community chest or chance cards.
nic & miles, it sounds like a great version. It reminds me of a similar feature in the Star Wars monopoly edition. For each doubles rolled you can do different things or roll again, I don't remember them all. They were like collect 50 from everyone, move to any space on the board, 100 from the bank, the best was if you rolled dbl 6, you could challenge anyone for property that they owned that they didn't have the monopoly of. You both rolled 1 die each and the highest number wins the property. made it really interesting.

The free parking rule in ours means you get all the money in the middle.
Hehe, Star Wars Monopoly sounds fun. Actually, I think 'Lord of the Rings' Risk is also better than standard Risk.

Yeah, we take all the money too. I suspected it should be understood, but I thought I'd better clarify.
