Mode d'emploi (Instructions de fonctionnement)

The game proceeds in turns, with players rolling dice and moving their tokens around the board. The objective is to be the last player remaining with money and properties, driving all other players into bankruptcy.

1. Début d'un tour : The player rolls both dice and moves their token clockwise the number of spaces indicated by the dice.
2. Atterrissage dans l'espace :
   • Biens non possédés : If you land on an unowned property, you may buy it from the bank for the price printed on the board. If you choose not to buy it, the property is auctioned off to the highest bidder.
   • Biens immobiliers possédés : If you land on a property owned by another player, you must pay them rent according to the Title Deed card. Rent increases if the owner has Monorail Stops or Stations on the property.
   • Chance ou Caisse de Communauté : Tirez la première carte de la pile correspondante et suivez ses instructions.
   • Aller: Passing or landing on "GO" allows you to collect $200 from the bank.
   • Prison: Landing on "Go to Jail" sends you directly to Jail. You do not collect $200 for passing GO.
   • Impôts : Pay the specified tax amount to the bank.
3. Building Monorail Stops and Stations: Once you own all properties in a color group, you can begin building Monorail Stops (houses) and then Monorail Stations (hotels) on them. Buildings must be erected evenly across the properties in a color group.
4. Commerce et hypothèque : Players can trade properties with each other. Properties can also be mortgaged to the bank for cash, but no rent can be collected on mortgaged properties.
5. Faillite: If a player cannot pay their debts (rent, taxes, etc.), they declare bankruptcy and are out of the game. Their remaining assets are turned over to the player they owe or the bank.
6. Gagner le jeu : Le dernier joueur en lice, après la faillite de tous les autres, est le vainqueur.

Entretien

To ensure the longevity of your Monopoly The Simpsons Edition game:

• Store all game components in their designated compartments within the game box when not in use.
• Keep the game board and cards away from moisture and direct sunlight to prevent warping or fading.
• Nettoyez les pièces du jeu avec un chiffon doux et sec si nécessaire. Évitez les nettoyants abrasifs.
• Manipulez les cartes et l'argent avec précaution pour éviter de les plier ou de les déchirer.

Dépannage

Problèmes courants et leurs solutions :

• Pièces manquantes : Carefully check all compartments of the game box. If pieces are genuinely missing, contact the manufacturer (USAOPOLY, Inc.) for assistance.
• Le jeu est trop long : Consider implementing house rules such as a time limit per game, or auctioning off all properties at the start of the game to speed up play.
• Disputes Over Rules: Refer to the official Monopoly rulebook (not included in this JSON, but generally available with the product) for clarification. If a consensus cannot be reached, a pre-agreed-upon tie-breaker (e.g., coin toss) can be used.
