The next step in the evolution of Monopoly®!

Minipolis is a game for the Palm that's similar to the famous game Monopoly®.

• COMPETITORS... charge rents, build as soon as they own a property, put five houses on their properties and occasionally go to Price War.
• MONOPOLISTS... extort monopoly-high rents from their poor tenants, build only after they have monopolised a color grouping, restrict supply by putting only four houses on their properties and occasionally go to Prison.

The good guys are the small business entrepreneurs and the bad guys are the monopolists. Since players do not play by the same rules, fairness is achieved by a patented technique of equalizing the win probabilities, a technique made possible only by the computer age.

Why is this game an upgrade of Monopoly®?

• The game has what MONOPOLY® lacks: reversibility. Ownership of the more valuable properties in the beginning of the game does not assure victory.
• Players are assigned a role in the beginning of the game: they either play by monopoly or by competition rules.
• While playing by different rules, the win chances have been equalised by higher mathematics and computer iteration (This innovation is patented).
• Competitors draw COMPETITION cards. Monopolists draw MONOPOLY cards. These cards are funny but, as Bill Cosby used to say, you might learn something if you don't watch out.
• MiniPolis requires more sophistication and strategic thinking than Monopoly® because competitors make more money than monopolists in the beginning of the game but monopolists can catch up later, especially if competitors don't watch their money. This eliminates a weakness in the other game, where one often knows in the beginning who is going to win.
• The new conflict between competitors and monopolists adds excitement to the usual MONOPOLY® play.
