The idea you know – buy property, collect rent, try to survive – with rules that make the game fast, sharp and merciless.
If you've played Monopoly, you'll feel at home within a minute: roll the dice, buy, build houses and hotels, and wait for someone to land on you. The difference is in the pace and the punishment.
In Money & Chaos there's no way to put off the end: no mortgages and no loans, and whoever drops below zero must sell right away. Turns run on a clock, the airports really pay off, and you build as much as your pocket allows.
You mortgage properties to the bank, and a player can hold on to their properties forever – staying in the game long after it should be over.
No mortgages at all. Your properties are what keep you alive – and if you need cash, you sell them.
Mortgage, sell houses, and drag the end out further and further.
Below zero? The clock starts: sell to get back above zero, or you're out.
No time limit; a game can take hours.
Every turn is on a clock: a short time to roll, then a set time for everything else. A 4-player game usually takes less than 30 minutes.
Railroads almost never help you win.
Airports charge higher rent, and owning them all lets you fly from airport to airport – skipping right over other players' hotels.
Two utilities that barely matter: 4× or 10× the dice.
3 companies – one more square for other players to land on – and owning all of them collects 20× the dice. Here the companies are a serious asset.
Worth about 50: it just saves you the fine.
The only way to get out of jail in the same turn you went in. When a rival is about to land on your hotel – and an owner sitting in jail collects no rent – this card can decide the game.
Collect 200 for passing GO.
200 for passing Good Speed, and 300 for landing exactly on it.
You need the whole set, and you build evenly – one house at a time across the set.
Here too you need the whole country. But once it's yours, build wherever you like and as much as you like – as long as you have the money.
