Differences between Monopoly and Monopoly - Smart Banking. Rules and explanations
Main differences
Home
- Monopoly - Smart Banking rules state that if you want to buy a house, you don't have to wait until you have all the streets of one colour. When you buy a street, you get one house right away.
- The house is placed on the box marked with the first number (on the square on the game board). By seeing what number the house is on, the opponents will know which for rent you will have to pay for this property.
- When a player stands on your property, not only do you get the rent, but the rent of the property itself goes up one level.
- Rents go up even when the owner himself stands up on your property.
- Move the house piece forward or backward each time the rent level changes. Only one house can be on one street.
- Lease levels range from 1 to 5, except when the street is given to the bank. In this case, no rent is paid at all.
- Each property has a corresponding card with rental prices for all levels.
You can check what your current street rent level is as follows:
- scan the property card;
- click on so that the scanner doesn't think you are buying or renting the property. press within 10 seconds.

Event fields
If you stand on such a square, you must draw a card. Event cards can change the level of rent. You may also have to pay or receive money when you draw this card.
Place boxes are useful because by standing on them and paying money, you can go to any property box on the board.
Money

- When a bank card is read, it collects all information about each player's assets (money and property);
- A scan of the property card shows which streets we own and the rent we will have to pay for each street;
- you should hear a special sound when you scan the card. If no sound is heard, scan the card again.
