🔸Unimproved properties, railroads and utilities (but not buildings) may be sold to any team as a private transaction for any amount the owner can get; however, no property can be sold to another team if buildings are standing on any properties of that color-group. Any buildings must be sold back to the Bank before the owner can sell any property of that color-group.
🔸Houses and hotels may be sold back to the Bank at any time for one-half the price paid for them. All houses on one color-group must be sold one by one, evenly, in reverse of the manner in which they were erected.

Money
🔸Teams start with $1,500.
🔸Collect a "salary" by banking books. Banked books are for deposit ONLY and cannot be deposited until your team passes GO. There is a 10-book maximum per board revolution.
🔸Books used to purchase a property or pay rent may not be banked.
🔸Books may be moved between your "Banked" list and "Game Board" list until you deposit them. (for example, if you bank a book and then need to use it for a task to buy a property, you may transfer that book to the Game Board list, as long as you haven't passed GO and deposited your Salary)
Point system $0.10 per page
100pgs = $10 (minimum page count)
1000pgs = $100 (maximum page count)
BONUS: If you read and participate in one of HOB's Formal Buddy Reads discussions, your page points will boost to $0.25 per page. (This will be an HONOR SYSTEM, as the book discussions last the entire month. Please notify a mod or captain for claiming the bonus!)
Buying Property and Paying Rent
🔸To buy a property your team lands on, you must pay the value listed on the property AND read 1 of the tasks for that property.
🔸If you land on an "owned" property, your team has to pay the team that owns the property AND read a task book.
Houses/Hotels
🔸You must own all the properties in a color-group before purchasing houses/hotels and must be evenly distributed among the group. Meaning, if you buy one house, you may put it on any one of those properties, but the next house you buy must be erected on one of the unimproved properties of that complete color-group.
🔸When a team has four houses on each property of a complete color-group, they may buy a hotel from the Bank and erect it on any property of the color-group. Only one hotel may be erected on any one property.
Chance and Community Chest
When you land on any of these spaces, your team Captain will spin the "wheel" and follow the instructions provided. If your team receives a "Get Out of Jail Free" card, it is held until used.
Income and Luxury Tax
When your team lands on either of these spaces, your team MUST pay the amount listed AND read a book from the corresponding list before moving on to your next turn.
Jail
You land in Jail when:
🔸Your token lands on the space marked "Go to Jail" -or-
🔸Your team draws a card marked "Go to Jail"
When you are sent to Jail you cannot collect your "banked book" salary in that move since, regardless of where your token is on the board, you must move it directly into Jail. Your turn ends when you are sent to Jail. Even though you are in Jail, you may collect rent from other teams.
You get out of Jail by:
🔸Using a "Get Out of Jail Free" card -or-
🔸Your team reads 2 books from the Jail list, plus pays a $50 fine.
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.
Free Parking
A team landing on this place does not receive any money, property or reward of any kind, but must read a book of their choice before continuing on with their next turn.
Bankruptcy
You are declared bankrupt if you owe more than you can pay either to another team or to the Bank, and your team must retire from the game.
🔹 Winner: 🔹
The Team with the MOST MONEY (including value of assets) at the end of the challenge will be declared the winner.
