Monopoly questions?

Question

Hi, I'm doing a project where we have to relate the events leading up to World War II to something (in my case, monopoly). And since I dont own monopoly, can anyone tell me if each of the following things are usually good for you or bad and say an example of what might be on there:

Community Chest

Chance

Thank you!

Answer 1

Something random happens to you.  Community chest has a slightly higher chance of something good happening to you, but either one could be good or bad.  They're cards you draw.  Go back 3 spaces, advance to XYZ space, bank error in your favor collect $200, win 2nd prize in a beauty contest $10, pay school tax $150, elected chairman of the board, pay each player $50, collect stock dividend $45, assessed for street repairs, pay $25/house & $100/hotel, get out of jail free card, opera opening night collect $50 from each player, go to jail, pay poor tax $15.

I'm not sure how you could relate the events leading up to WWII to monopoly.

Edit: The bank can only loan money in the form of mortgaged property.  You mortgage a property you own to gain half the list price of the property but collect no rent when a player lands on it.  When you want to unmortgage it, you pay 10% interest on what you got.  So if you wanted to mortgage vermont avenue (listed at $100), you get $50.  When you want to unmortgage it, you pay $55.

Answer 2

There are no loans in monopoly.

Answer 5

Well as far as relating it to WW2, here is a great article from Mentalfloss.com

During World War II, the British secret service hatched a master plan to smuggle escape gear to captured Allied soldiers inside Germany. Their secret weapon? Monopoly boxes. The original notion was simple enough: Find a way to sneak useful items into prison camps in an unassuming form. But the idea to use Monopoly came from a series of happy coincidences, all of which started with maps.

Smooth As Silk

Maps are harder to smuggle than you might think. They fall apart when wet, and they make a lot of noise when unfolded. Allied officials feared paper maps might draw the attention of German troops, so they turned to an unlikely source for help—silk. Not only would silk maps hold up in all kinds of weather, but they’d also come with the life-saving benefit of being whisper quiet.

To produce these silent maps, the Brits turned to John Waddington Ltd., a company that had recently perfected the process of printing on silk and was already manufacturing silk escape maps for British airmen to carry. What else was Waddington known for? You guessed it—being the licensed manufacturer of Monopoly outside the United States.

Suddenly, the popular board game seemed like the perfect way to get supplies inside German-run POW camps. At the time, the n***s were hard-pressed to get provisions to their own troops, much less to the Allied soldiers they’d captured. Wishing to hide this less-than-stellar upholding of the Geneva Convention, they happily welcomed Red Cross aid packages for POWs. So throwing Monopoly games into the care kits along with food and clothing was met with little scrutiny. Monopoly was already a well-known game throughout Europe, and the German guards saw it as the perfect way for their detainees to remain occupied for hours.

Community Chest

MonoMan.jpgIn 1941, the British Secret Service approached Waddington with its master plan, and before long, production of a “special edition” Monopoly set was underway. For the top-secret mission, the factory set aside a small, secure room—unknown to the rest of its employees—where skilled craftsmen sat and painstakingly carved small niches and openings into the games’ cardboard boxes. Along with the standard thimble, car, and Scotty dog, the POW version included additional “playing” pieces, such as a metal file, a magnetic compass, and of course, a regional silk escape map, complete with marked safe-houses along the way—all neatly concealed in the game’s box. Even better, some of the Monopoly money was real. Actual German, Italian, and French currency was placed underneath the play money for escapees to use for bribes. Also, because of its collaboration with the International Red Cross, Waddington could track which sets would be delivered to which camps, meaning escape maps specific to the area could be hidden in each game set. Allied soldiers and pilots headed to the front lines were told to look for the special edition game if they were captured. The identifying mark to check for? A red dot in the corner of the Free Parking space.

Get Out of Jail Free

By the end of the war, it’s estimated that more than 35,000 Allied POWs had escaped from German prison camps. And while there’s no way to set an exact figure on it, more than a few of those escapees certainly owe their

its good

Answer 7

Monopoly is a game of buying and selling property. First off, community chest and chance are usually in your favor. But first to understand that you need to understand the game. It is a square board with two dice. You roll the dice (duh) and the number on the dice is the number of properties you go forward (there are not only properties. There are special spaces too like jail, railroads, free parking, and pick up a community chest card, and pick up a chance card.). Now if you happen to land on a buyable property then you can purchase it with the money you start out with (you start out with money before the games starts by the way). If not then its the end of your turn. CHANCE is a space on the board where if you land you get to pick up a chance card. The famous phrases underneath them say if you need to give money to the bank, give it, or other. (Example: Go to jail, Get out of jail free card, You are in debt! Go back six spaces and give the banker $200, etc.) Its the same exact thing with COMMUNITY CHEST except the cards are yellow and not orange. There are only 3 spots each on the board where you can get these precious cards. Hope this is of some help.

Answer 8

they tend to be more good than bad, but I know there's a community chest that sends you right to jail.  Of course there's also ones for both that state "bank error in your favor, collect 50 dollars" and "you have one second prize in a beauty pagent, you win $20"

Answer 9

you can learn how to get property and take advantages from it.
