Roup

About this game

The goal of ROUP is to split up the former Communist monopoly and sell properties to Private Ownership. Each player rotates turns as the "Auctioneer" and after that as the "KGB." Basic Steps: Step 1) Auctioneer rolls Red and White Dice. Step 2) Auctioneer's Plane flies directly to property. Step 3) KGB moves in any direction along street squares according to Red Die # rolled by Auctioneer attempting to a) steal commission of property sold, b) steal the rent from property already owned, or c) move to a Black Market square for choice of Black Market Card or 2 million Rubles from bank. Step 4) Property is sold at auction. Card serves as deed. Step 5) Auctioneer collects Commission from Old Commie Bank (or pays rent to a property owner if property is already owned). The game ends when: A) a player or team wins by owning any three TRIPLE RENT COLOR FAMILY SETS or B) the "Old Commie Bank" goes broke. In this case the richest player (Ultimate Capitalist) is the winner.
