Buy and rent or sell properties so profitably that one becomes the wealthiest player and eventual monopolist. The object of owning property is to collect rents from opponents stopping there. Rentals are greatly increased by the erection of houses and hotels, so it is wise to build them on some of your building sites. The game is one of shrewd and amusing trading and excitement, often contributed to by the banker / auctioneer. The rules suggest 3 to 7 players. There are six playing tokens and the seventh person would presumably take the sole role of banker / auctioneer. When less than seven people play, one player could double up as banker. The rules include a shorter version of the game, as the full game can take some hours to play.

The Trademark Number is not printed and the patent has only been applied for at this stage; Patent Application Number 3796-36. The Monopoly logo shows two trains approaching but heading in opposite directions. There are two houses between them, almost forming a mirror image and a smiling young Mr. Monopoly wearing morning suit and clutching a wad of £ notes. The original black boxes are gone. The playing pieces are traditionally designed trinkets which would be attached to a bracelet. In this early edition of the game, the iron has a sold base, later editions have hollowed out bases. Embossed on the outer edge of the thimble is 'for a good girl'.
