of the x11 based games. I'm not going to tag the originals with bsd_44_lite and do this in two stages since it's just not worth it for this collection, and I've got directory renames to deal with that way. Bleah. Submitted by: jkh

.SH NAME

monop \- Monopoly game
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.B /usr/games/monop
|
|
[ file ]
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.I Monop
|
|
is reminiscent of the Parker Brother's game Monopoly, and
|
|
monitors a game between 1 to 9 users.
|
|
It is assumed that the rules of Monopoly are known.
|
|
The game follows the standard rules, with the exception that,
|
|
if a property goes up for auction and there are only two solvent players,
|
|
no auction is held and the property remains unowned.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The game, in effect, lends the player money,
|
|
so it is possible to buy something which you cannot afford.
|
|
However, as soon as a person goes into debt,
|
|
he must \*(lqfix the problem\*(rq,
|
|
.IR i.e. ,
|
|
make himself solvent, before play can continue.
|
|
If this is not possible, the player's property reverts to his debtee,
|
|
either a player or the bank.
|
|
A player can resign at any time to any person or the bank,
|
|
which puts the property back on the board, unowned.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Any time that the response to a question is a
|
|
.IR string ,
|
|
e.g., a name, place or person, you can type `?' to get a list of valid answers.
|
|
It is not possible to input a negative number, nor is it ever necessary.
|
|
