Scamming Uncle Moneybags

Scamming Uncle Moneybags Monopoly

In this mod of monopoly, you play as the shady relatives of the wealthy and foolish Uncle Moneybags. Can you outcompete the other players in concocting “development projects” for him to throw money at before he runs out of funds and its time to skip town?

 

Rules:

Played with a standard monopoly set

Unlike in normal monopoly, there is only one player token, which represents Uncle Moneybags. Instead of players taking turns, Uncle Moneybags travels around the board by rolling dice as a player would to move a player token.

When Uncle Moneybags lands on an unowned property, the players bid to “own” it in a blind auction. As the properties and houses/hotels represent scams, they cannot be mortgaged or sold once bought, though they can still be traded between players as normal.

When Uncle Moneybags lands on an owned property, he pays the owner from his funds (which start game at $8,000). When Uncle Moneybags runs out of money, the game ends, and the winner is the player with the most cash on hand.

Any money paid from the bank to Uncle Moneybags from Passing Go / Chance / Community Chest is instead paid to each player. Any money Uncle Moneybags would pay to the bank from these or other non-player-owned effects is paid out of his supply. Uncle Moneybags will always try rolling doubles three times before paying $50 to the supply to get out of jail.
