大富翁, 大富翁游戏
a type of board game in which players use game currency to buy buildings or streets represented on the board
Monopoly is a popular board game where players buy, sell, and trade properties to accumulate wealth and bankrupt their opponents. The game is played on a square board with spaces representing properties, utilities, and other special spaces. Players roll dice to move around the board, landing on spaces where they can purchase properties or pay rent to opponents who own them. The goal is to build houses and hotels on properties to increase rent, while avoiding going bankrupt. Players can also draw Chance or Community Chest cards, which provide random events. The game ends when only one player remains with money and property.
