  • Patent number: 4076249
    Abstract: A game played on a board marked as a residential subdivision. Markers are moved about the board by the players in response to the play of dice, with the players representing buyers, developers and sellers of residential and commercial lots marked on the board. The board is marked with a layout of a continuous path of blocks representing a route along several joining streets, with individually numbered building lots marked adjacent each block of the route. The game includes markers for representing each player's position on a block of the route, miniature houses to represent buildings constructed by a player on a lot adjacent to his marker position, play money which may be borrowed by a player from a bank, cards representing engineering, sewer and water, paving, building, and sales and rentals contracts, together with two sets of penalty or reward cards. Individual blocks of the route are marked with colors to indicate the application of the penalty or reward cards.
