OIL FIELDS, ISLANDS, RANCHES, GOLD MINES, SKI RESORTS, FACTORIES, and SKYSCRAPERS comprise the 7 property types for sale in REAL ESTATE.

With the exception of OIL FIELDS, each property has playing squares to collect rent and charge the owner for repairs. If you own an OIL FIELD that has a "gusher", you instantly win the game!

There are 3 ways throughout the board to buy property. Players designate ownership by placing one of their colored disks on each property owned. When considering how much property to buy or if it's a good investment, be sure to understand how much money can be made by "WINDFALL RENT."

Instructions on how to sell property are displayed above that property's purchase price in REALTOR ROW e.g. SELL TO BANK $100,000 x 1 die. If you sold 3 ISLANDS and you rolled a 6, you would receive $600,000 for each ISLAND or $1,800,000. Not bad considering the fact that you only paid $200,000 each!

Rent is received from each player when a property owner lands on one of the two playing squares "EACH PLAYER MUST PAY YOU $50,000 RENT FOR EACH OF YOUR CURRENTLY OWNED PROPERTIES." For example, if you own a total of 10 properties, each player must pay you $500,000!
