How to Play Monopoly Deal

Monopoly Deal is basically Monopoly in the form of a card game.

It is a quick, 15 minute game for 2-5 players and is recommended for ages 8 It may seem difficult at first, but it is really easy to catch on to.

To win the game, you must collect 3 full property sets but watch out for other players and cards such as Debt Collectors, Forced Deals, and of course the Deal Breaker.

This page will teach you how to play Monopoly Deal, or brush you up if you have already played.

I hope you find what you are looking for, and have fun playing.
