      PROSPERITY Real Estate Office, where he stays until his next turn, without payment. He may avail himself of Rule 4, Real Estate Office provision, if he so chooses. IN playing to his own space he must pay to the Prosperity Land Rent Fund the Land Rent indicated in the space to which he moves. The owner of the Land In Use space where the player (tenant) has been turned away because of the No Trespassing Sign, must at once pay to the Prosperity Land Rent Fund the land rent indicated on the posted space. If the tenant player who was turned away is carried by his play into the Your Wages Corner he collects day-laborer’s wages. (This might occur when there is no Real Estate Office between the posted space and Your Wages Corner. The player in this case moves forward, not backward.) RULE 2.–Local Public Utilities: (a) Local Public Utilities operate under the rules of the Landlord’s Game until condemned and purchased by the Prosperity Land Rent Fund. As soon as $200 accumulates in the Prosperity Land Rent Fund, the Soakem Lighting System is condemned, purchased, the matching card (franchise) returned to the Board (General Land Office), the rate reduced to $25, and thereafter paid to the General Fund of the Public Treasury; the second $200 is used to purchase, in the same manner, the Slambang Trolley, the fare reduced to $25; the third $200 is used to purchase the Ting-A-Ling Telephone, in the same manner, the rate reduced to $25. The General Fund of the Public Treasury receives all revenues from the Local Public Utilities after purchase. In case a monopoly has been held, the first condemnation breaks the monopoly and charges, fares, and “dividends” return at once to the nonmonopoly rates. The holders of these franchises must sell at the condemnation price. There is no alternative. (b) Until condemnation and purchase of the Local Public Utilities, the holders of the franchises collect charges and “dividends” as in the Landlord’s Game. © Under PROSPERITY Rules, Local Public Utilities are not sold by the Board (General Land Office). If there are any unsold Local Public Utilities when PROSPERITY Rules are established, players to these spaces pay the PROSPERITY rates of $25 to the General Fund of the Public Treasury. (d) Monopoly.–There are no monopoly rates under PROSPERITY Rules. RULE 3.–Interstate Public Utilities: (a) Interstate Public Utilities operate under the rules of the Landlord’s Game until they are condemned and purchased from the holders of the franchises, in the same manner as the Local Public Utilities, but the condemnation price for these is $300 each. Beginning, after the Local Public Utilities are condemned and purchased, with the Lickety Cut R. R., followed by the Gee Whiz R. R., and lastly, the P. D. Q. R. R., as rapidly as the money accumulates in the Prosperity Land Rent Fund, in each case reducing the fare to $50 as soon as purchased, fares payable to the General Fund of the Public Treasury. In case of a monopoly, when the monopoly is broken by condemnation and sale of one Utility, the other two Utilities return to the nonmonopoly fares and “dividends.” The holders of these franchises must sell at the condemnation price. There is no alternative. (b) Until condemnation and purchase is made, the holders of the matching cards (franchises) collect “dividends” and fares as in the Landlord’s Game. © After a player pays his fare he “rides” either way on the railroad in the same manner as in the Landlord’s Game. (d) Under PROSPERITY Rules, Interstate Public Utilities are not sold by the Board (General Land Office). If there are any unsold Interstate Public Utilities when PROSPERITY Rules are established, players pay fare to the General Fund of the © Monopoly.–There is no monopoly fare under PROSPERITY Rules. RULE 4.–Real Estate Office: (a) A player on this space may either buy from or sell to another player any title deed he holds; he may return to the Board (General Land Office) any Idle Land or unprofitable Land In Use cards (title deeds) if he wishes to avoid paying rent for them, but he gets no compensation for them; he may take up Land In Use cards (title deeds) still in the General Land Office, if he wishes to improve them and thus make an income, on payment to the PROSPERITY Land Rent Fund the land rent indicated on the card. (b) The Board (General Land Office) no longer buys or sells land. RULES 5, 6, 7.–Taxes–Personal Property, Land, Improvement: All taxes are abolished, but a player on these spaces pays to the PROSPERITY Land Rent Fund of the Public Treasury $5 rent on each Idle Land card (title deed) and $25 rent on each Public Utility Card (franchise) he holds, every time he plays to a Tax Office of whatever kind. If a player to a Tax Office has no Idle Land cards and no Public Utility cards, he remains there without payment until his next turn. RULE 8.–Lord Blueblood’s Estate” Under PROSPERITY Rules this space is a public park and there is no charge for entering it. RULE 9.–Jail: Under PROSPERITY Rules there is no reason for trespassing, and the Jail is no longer used. RULE 10.–LaSwelle Hotel: Same as in the Landlord’s Game. RULE 11.–Your Wages: Your Wages are on the same scale as in the Landlord’s Game. When all the Public Utilities have been acquired by the Public, all the land rents are thereafter paid into the General Fund of the Public Treasury. When the player with the least money has $7000 (double his original capital), Prosperity is achieved. The game may continue at the pleasure of the players.
