[. . . ] It is an advantage to own all of the Title Deed cards in a color-group (i. e. , Plankton's Lab and the Chum Bucket or SpongeBob's Pineapple and the Krusty Krab) because the owner may then charge double rent for unimproved properties in that color-group. This rule applies to unmortgaged properties even if another property in that color-group is 5 mortgaged. It is even more advantageous to have buildings on properties because rents are much higher than for unimproved properties. The owner may not collect the rent if he/she fails to ask for it before the second player following rolls the dice. "Life Preserver" & "Treasure Chest Cards" When you land on either a Life Preserver or Treasure Chest space, take the top card from the deck indicated, follow the instructions and return the card facedown to the bottom of the deck. The "Get Out of Jail Free" cards are held until used and then returned to the bottom of the deck. If the players who draw these do not wish to use them, they may sell them, at any time, to another player for an amount agreeable to both. "Bubble Tax" If you land here you have two options: You may estimate your penalty at $200 and pay the Bank, or you may pay 10% of your total worth to the Bank. Your total worth is all your money on hand, the printed values of mortgaged and un-mortgaged properties and the cost of all the buildings you own. You must decide which option you will take before you add up your total worth. "Jail" You land in Jail when . . . (1) Your token lands on the space marked "Go to Jail"; (2) you draw a card marked "Go to Jail"; or (3) you roll doubles three times in succession. When you are sent to Jail you cannot collect your salary of $200 in that move since, regardless of where your token is on the board, you must move it directly into Jail. If you are not "sent" to Jail but in the ordinary course of play land on that space, you are "Just Visiting, " you incur no penalty, and you move ahead in the usual manner on your next turn. (1) Rolling doubles on any of your next three turns; if you succeed in doing this you immediately move forward the number of spaces shown by your doubles roll. (2) Using a "Get Out of Jail Free" card if you have one; (3) purchasing a "Get Out of Jail Free" card from another player and playing it; or (4) paying a fine of $50 before you roll the dice on either of your next two turns. 6 If you don't roll doubles by your third turn, you must pay the fine of $50. You then get out of Jail and immediately move forward the number of spaces shown by your roll. Even though you are in Jail, you may buy properties from or sell them to other players, buy or sell buildings and collect rents. "Free Parking" A player landing on this place receives no money, properties or rewards of any kind. This is just a "free" resting place. Pineapples When you buy all of the properties in a color-group, you may buy pineapples from the Bank and place them on those properties. If you buy one pineapple, you may place it on any one of those properties. The next pineapple you buy must be placed on one of the unimproved properties of this or any other complete color-group you may own. The price you must pay the Bank for each pineapple is shown on your Title Deed card for the property on which you place the pineapple. The owner still collects double rent from an opponent who lands on the unimproved properties of his/her complete color-group. [. . . ] Before starting, the Banker shuffles and cuts the Title Deed cards and deals two to each player. Players immediately pay the Bank the value of the properties dealt to them. 10 We will be happy to hear your questions or comments about this game.
