The game "Millionaire" is equally loved by both adults and children. Besides the fact that this is one of the best and most interesting board games for a family and friendly company, it is also a good trainer for the mind. This game provides basic knowledge of economic structures and initial entrepreneurial skills, while developing attentiveness, ingenuity and motor skills.
Instructions
Step 1
The game "Millionaire" is attended by 2 to 6 players, with each participant assigned a specific role. For example, a banker manages money, monitors the correctness of financial transactions, payment of taxes and bonuses; the stockbroker oversees all securities transactions; the insurance agent is in charge of issuing and redeeming policies in critical situations, etc.
Step 2
The game takes place on a square field, consisting of 9 sectors, symbolizing economic sectors. 8 branches are represented by 2-3 enterprises and are located side by side, the central branch is the most expensive, its 4 companies are located in the center of each side of the field. At the beginning of the game, each participant receives a certain starting capital, for which he has the right to buy shares or an insurance policy.
Step 3
To move around the field, players alternately roll two dice and move their counters on the dropped number of steps. The movement begins at the "Start" cell and is carried out clockwise. The player who rolled the double moves again. However, three takes in a row send the participant to the tax police.
Step 4
Each cell of the playing field corresponds to a company card with a specified price and rental rates, as well as the amount of tax payments. In addition, there are special cells called "Fortune" and "Chance", which are auxiliary and give players additional instructions. These instructions can be both pleasant, such as tax exemptions or unexpected gains, or unpleasant, such as paying a fine, forfeiting shares, or having to put your own plots up for auction.
Step 5
If a player stops at a cell with an empty lot, he has the right to buy it or refuse the deal. If he entered the cell of someone else's plot, he is obliged to pay the owner for the rental services.
Step 6
For each completed circle, players receive a bonus, as well as pay taxes when passing the "Tax Inspection" cell. This square is on the same straight line with the START square, and in the opposite corner is the "Tax Police". If the player gets there, then he must roll the dice three times until a double falls out, or pay a fine to leave the police station.
Step 7
There is one more surprising cell on the field - "Jackpot". Once on it, the player bets money and rolls one die three times. If a winning combination is obtained, then his money is multiplied by the corresponding coefficient. If not, they go to the Jackpot cashier.
Step 8
An insured event can be considered a player's lack of the necessary amount to cover costs, for example, taxes or rent. By owning an appropriate policy, the participant can protect himself from an unforeseen crisis or bankruptcy.
Step 9
A player who owns all enterprises in one industry becomes its monopolist and has the right to buy branches. This increases the rent for his "guests", but at the same time increases tax payments. The winner is the one who monopolizes the largest number of industries, ruining the rest of the participants.
