Special Cards:
There are some special cards in this version of monopoly taking over from the old utilities. These are the special rules for each of them.
Telstra Privatisation – When you buy Telstra, you move to privatise it. You must roll a die as soon as you purchase it. The number shown on the die indicated how many turns you must skip as the share price stabilises.
• Collect $20 if anyone lands on a square either side of this square, as you own all the cables.
• Collect $50 if anyone lands on the Telstra square, cause you can.
• Collect $500 if you own both utilities, because you control their water and have the power to cut their calls for help. Monopoly Rules.
You may sell this card at anytime for a drastically deflated price.
Sydney Water – Congratulations! You have just purchased a substantial hole in the ground, less than half full with water. Each player, including the owner must pay to centre of the board $100 to keep Sydney water economically viable as a private business.
• If anybody lands on your square, fine them $120 for watering on a non-watering day.
• If you own both utilities, so what?
You may sell this card back to the government… or another player, but don’t kid yourself, no one wants it.
Train stations – Rent as follows:
$10 if one owned, $25 if two owned $45 if three owned and $70 if four owned. Poor investment, however charging for poor service is not something that a government agency should do.
You may not sell stations, nobody wants them.
Properties consist of three building types. Demountable, unit and Department of Housing flats.
To gain one Department of Housing block of flats, you must have four units and to have make as estate suitable for units, you must purchase two demountables. Demountables and units may only be purchased one at a time, as there is no way credit ratings in your area will allow the purchase of multiple properties at once.
Each property affects the rent for each estate, just like real monopoly and each rent configuration will be printed on the back of the mortgage cards.
