SQUARE MILE

How to play

• Everyone starts at START with cash. On your turn roll two dice and move that far round the board. Pass START and collect £200. Doubles give you another roll - but three in a row sends you to the lock-up.
• Land on an unowned street, station or utility and you may buy it. If you don't, it goes to auction and anyone can bid. (With the Round the board first house rule nobody can buy or bid until they have passed START once.)
• Land on someone else's property and you pay them rent. Own every street of a colour and the rent doubles - and you can build houses (up to four) and then a hotel, building evenly across the set. Stations pay more for each one owned; utilities pay a multiple of the dice.
• Lucky Break and Town Hall cards can pay you, fine you, move you - or put you in the lock-up. Income Tax costs £200, Super Tax £100.
• The lock-up: pay £50, use a Release Pass, or try for doubles (three failed tries and you pay the £50). You still collect rent while you are inside.
• Mortgage a property for half its price to raise cash (no rent while mortgaged; paying it off costs 10% extra). Sell buildings back for half what they cost.
• End of turn: when you have nothing left to do, your turn ends by itself after 6 seconds. Open Properties or Trade and it waits until you are done.
• Trade with anyone at any time: swap streets, cash and Release Passes. Buildings must be sold before a set can be traded.
• Can't pay a debt? Raise cash by mortgaging and selling buildings, or go bankrupt - your things pass to whoever you owed (or are auctioned if it was the bank). Last player standing wins. In a timed game the richest player wins when the rounds run out.
