Il Monopoly e la finanza

Mike Merrill ha provato ad aggiornare le regole del gioco del Monopoly per rappresentare meglio il sistema finanziario moderno con l'aggiunta della figura del banchiere come giocatore, obbligazioni convertibili e operazioni di finanziamento.

Each player starts with only $500. That's a nice bit of cash, but it's going to be expensive to build your capitalist empire. Baltic Avenue will cost you $80, States Avenue is $140, Atlantic is $260, and that leaves you just $20. Even if you're the first to land on Boardwalk you won't be able to afford the $400 price tag. Another $200 from "passing Go" is not going to last that long. You need more money.

At the start of the game the banker will offer each player a convertible note of $1000 at a 20% discount and 5% interest*. Armed with $1500 the player is now ready to set out on their titan of the universe adventure! (Of course players are not required to take the convertible note.)
