RULES:
Players have a choice of 2 ways of playing and winning the game. Option 1: the object is to bankrupt all the other players. Option 2: the object is to be the richest competitor after all monopolists have been eliminated; or to be the richest monopolist after all competitors have been eliminated.
Layout the board and shuffle the competitor and monopolists decks and place them face-down on their spots on the board. Pick on person to be the treasurer. The treasurer handles all the money, title cards, houses, and apartments. The treasurer must keep their own money separate from the treasury. Shuffle the competitor and monopolist decks and place them face-down on their spots on the board. To determine turn order, each player rolls dice and the player with the highest sum goes first, then play proceeds clockwise. Before play begins players must choose a role to either be a competitor or a monopolist, these picks are subject to role-balancing.
If there are an even number of players, then the total number of competitors and monopolists must be even. If there is an odd number of players, then the total number of competitors and monopolists must not differ by more than 1. Once you pick your role, it cannot be changed during the game.
Give each player two 500s and 50s, three 100s, seven 10s, and five 5s and 1s. In turn order each player picks a colored token, blue if you are a monopolist and green if you are a competitor. Place the tokens on start and the game begins. On your turn, roll both dice and move your token exactly that many spaces clockwise around the board. If you roll doubles, you take 1 extra turn, if you roll doubles on the extra turn then you do not take another turn.
When you land on an unowned street, transportation company, or utility you may purchase it from the treasury as indicated by the price on the space. If you do not wish to buy it, then nothing happens and it stays with the treasury. If you land on a space that another player owns, then you pay them the amount listed on the card based on their role and number of buildings the space has, if any. All other types of payment go to the treasury.
You may only build buildings on your turn. Competitors can build on any single property they own, while monopolists must wait until they have at least 2 properties in the same color before they can build buildings. If a monopolist owns 2 out of 3 properties for a city, and another player owns the 3rd one, then they may only charge the “no houses” price. Competitors may build like normal on a single property in a city when a monopolist owns the other 2.
To build, on your turn, pay the treasury the price indicated on the card then take an unused building from the treasury and place it on the space. Competitors place buildings on the name of the city while monopolists place their buildings on the M. Once a competitor has 4 houses, they may build an apartment by removing the 4 houses and buying an apartment. Monopolists, on the other hand only need to build 3 houses before they can get an apartment. You do not have to build evenly across streets, but once you build a building, you may not move it to another street. There is no limit to the number of buildings; so if the treasury runs out of building to use, use other objects, like paper, to represent more. [show paper image of house symbol]
If you need money, you can sell houses back to the treasury for half their initial cost. You can also mortgage title cards to receive half their value from the treasury by flipping the title card over. You cannot mortgage a property that has buildings on it and you do not collect rent from mortgaged properties. To unmortgage a property, pay the treasury the indicated price and flip the title card back over. Monopolists cannot have houses in a city if any of the 2 properties needed for the monopolization are mortgaged. A monopolist can only collect the lowest rent in those situations.
Players may trade properties, mortgaged properties, and/or money but not buildings. You must sell all buildings on a property before you can trade it. You are allowed to trade at any time except for the moment after dice have been rolled and a piece is being moved.
When you land on or pass the start space, collect $100 from the treasury. When moving around the first corner of the board you place your piece in the “sightseeing” space…
This is basically a knock off monopoly
Why doesn’t the game come with infinite houses 😂
I dont see how monopolist have advantage over competitors
1 price war vs prison
Anti monopolist foundation
Nees to have the all properties to buy house
Whats the ghe strategy to win as monopolist
this just seems like a bad game, even as social commentary it's pretty toothless
I need the game😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
03:34 You CANNOT MORTGAGE A PROPERTY that has buildings on it and you DO NOT COLLECT RENT from mortgaged properties.
Same as monopoly omg waste of time.
Monopoly invisible hand edition
2:30 isnt the pricing of the houses and the land too high compared to the rents? Buillding 5 houses plus the land, being a competitor, costs 350$, and you only get 35$ in return when someone lands there. So in order not to lose money, the players have to land there at least 10 times! It is highly unlikely to make profit as a competitor and even more unlikely to bankrupt the fellow players. Lets not forget that the starting budget is 1500$!
2:22 I don't think this rule is legitimate. My handbook does not mention anything like that, and I haven't been able to find anything online mentioning this rule. Does anyone know if this really is a thing mentioned in the game's rules?
Ma-nope-poly
Team Monopoly
5:30 yeah I can totally see everybody stopping to work that 10% out. Seemed kinda okay up until that point. Thats a bit too much to have to work out.
Wait
Anti-monopoly is not the first to go bankrupt?
Ive played this twice monoplist won both times it is really hard to win as a competer
ohhh, GOSH Income tax has MATH now?! I thought games were meant to be fun!!!!!! (note: I actually like maths, but i don't wanna do it during a game unless it is a major element of said game, like a brain teaser or something) mini rant over
This just seems like a bootleg Monopoly rather than an "anti-Monopoly", but looking it up on Wikipedia there was an earlier version where the board started out completely monopolized like at the end of a regular Monopoly game and you played as federal case workers indicting the monopolized businesses to break the monopoly. That concept alone sounds way better from basically every angle you can look at it from and I have no idea why they changed it into being even less distinct from Monopoly than a lot of the official variations
Anti-capitalism is just communism?
5:48 dude….nope
1=$25
2=$50
3-6=Nothing(?)
Anti-Monopoly, monopoly for prisoners.
Legends are watching without anti Monopoly
3:20 bro wut? 💀💀💀
Why Competitor has more advantage than monopolists???
It is silly that there are tons of variations of luck based Monopoly game … There are far more enjoyable and strategic options, but they are monopolizing over others and sell this outdated play type to masses.
Does unlimited houses mean you could technically build apartments on all properties; this version makes things much more interesting. The rent price would soar.
Sad – majr flaw like the original, ELIMINATED> now what, just eat popcorn and watch? BORING!
SAME design flaes as original, dissappointing
And if ur wonderin why property tax is 75 thats because luxury tax (or super tax) in normal monopoly used to be 75 instead of 100
railing crossroad? tf is that?
Oh you mean commusist monopoly
"The rules aren't the same as regular Monopoly, except for these similarities:"
Monopoly Go ad on this video is crazy
So monopoly teams?
When Monopoly sued the people who made anti-Monopoly they won, but later on they got sued because it wasn’t their original game in the firstplace
Hi
Bananas
Teddy Roosevelt approves!
actually a well-made game.
I Saw This Game Today On The Store!
Competitors seem like the best choice when playing this game
Ooh
How do I buy monopoly Fortnite
3:21 unlimited buildings hehe
the house replacement is the best
Basically monopolists have higher risk, higher difficulty, but bigger rewards… So it's better for experienced players
You can tell it's not a Hasbro-licensed spinoff because they got rid of the "Go To Jail" man
I can't figure out why this isn't presented as just a variation on standard monopoly, so many of the rules are just exactly the same. And even the rules for the competitors are only slightly altered from the rules for the monopolists
Is there a Monopoly Great Reset version, where the objective is to own nothing and be happy while eating ze bugs?
Speaking of anti, you should cover the Mad Magazine the board game. The objective of the game is to lose all of your money instead. Though I worry it's no longer in production many years ago, but my mother own one such extremely rare board game made in 1979
