RULES:
The object of the game is to have the most wealth at the end. Layout the board and each player takes a token a places it on go. Give each player a tile rack mix up the tiles in the bag, then each player secretly draws 7 tiles to their rack, keeping them hidden from others. Give each player one 500 and five 100 bills. Place 1 500 bill under free parking. Give the bank a tile rack with 7 random tiles that are visible to all the players. Shuffle the chance and community chest decks and place them face down on the table.

Each player draws a tile from the bag and the player with the letter closest to “A” goes first, then play proceeds clockwise. If there is a tie, try again. A blank tile beats every letter. On your turn you must play a word like you would in normal scrabble to the center board then move your token clockwise based on the value of the word, or words, scored. For a refresher of the normal rules of scrabble, check out this video.

You may purchase any number of letter tiles from the Bank for 100 money each. When replenishing tiles at the end of your turn, refill the banks rank before refilling your own. If you have the matching letter for a blank tile, you may pay 500 money to swap it and add it to your rack. The blank tile may be played that turn or saved for a future turn. You are allowed to pay 100 money plus 500 in take a blank tile in play to your rack and replace it with one from the bank.

If you form a word that covers a monopoly property group, then you collect that property group card from the bank or take it from its current owner. If a player lands on a property group space that another player owns, they must pay them rent as indicated on the board. If the property group is unowned, then nothing happens, and they may not purchase it.

If you land on a chance or community chest space, then draw the top card of the respective deck and do what it says, then put the card at the bottom of the deck. When you land on or pass go, collect 2 thousand money from the bank. If you land on “advance to free parking” then you move to free parking but do not pass go. When you land on free parking, collect all the money under it, then refill the space with 500 from the bank.

If you land on go to jail, then move directly to the in jail space. On your next turn you must pay 100 and continue your turn as normal. This space when you land on go to jail normally, you remain in the just visiting section and nothing happens.

If you owe money to another player or the bank and cannot pay, then you can sell property cards back to the bank for half of their value.

The game ends when all the letters from the bag have been drawn and when 1 player uses their last tile OR when all possible plays have been made. If you can’t make a play but another player can, then your turn is skipped. When the game ends each player must pay the bank 100 money for every unplayed letter in their rack. However, if one player had played all their tiles, then all the other players pay them instead. Each player then combines the sum of all their money with the value of all their properties and the player with the most wealth wins.

So if you play a 100+ point word, do you go around the board 2 or more times and get 2000 for each time?

This might get me to finally play monopoly

Greatest crossover ever. Now we need uno scrabble.

This is quite a good idea imho as it mitigates the luck of the dice, replacing it with some form of skill, i.e. the players' vocabulary. Players are supposedly trying to form words of a certain score to avoid paying rent, and also long enough to land on (scrabble) squares that allow them to gain property sites (as the rules don't allow sites to be obtained by landing on them). Unfortunately the rents are benign and (at least for me) this removes part of the excitement of the original Monopoly, which the race to out-build your opponents and the hope that they would land on your highly developed sites before you landed on theirs.

Out of all these monopoly games, which ones do you like the best?

I have both Monopoly and Scrabble board game. I could take them both out and combine them to make them look like this game

The rare hybrid game that improves on both original games. I love the strategy of playing a word with a particular value to move your token that many spaces. But who wants to move 50 spaces when playing SYZYGY?

EdKolis

If a word is covering a property space, and another player forms an intersecting word that includes that property space (already covered), does the player get to steal the property? Or is the property square in play only the first time it is covered?
