Richup.io
The Richup.io board game, which is similar to the classic Monopoly game, is based around real estate and property trading. Each player controls a game token and takes turns moving around the game board. Buy and trade properties to collect rent from other players when they land on your properties. Enhance your properties with houses and hotels to drive your opponents into bankruptcy.
The goal in the family board game Richup.io is to become the wealthiest monopoly and drive your opponents into bankruptcy!
The game board consists of 40 spaces in total:
Of the property spaces, there are 22 city spaces (grouped into 8 property groups), 4 airports and 2 utilities.
At the beginning of each game, players select their unique game piece and are given an equal sum of starting money. Each player takes turns to roll two six-sided dice to determine how many spaces they are to advance in a clockwise direction. Rolling doubles gives the player the opportunity to roll again after they have moved, but rolling three doubles in a row will send the player to jail immediately (no spaces moved on the third roll).
Players can obtain a certain amount of cash every time they pass Start, while players landing on "Go to Prison" must immediately do so. Players in prison can get out by paying a fine, rolling doubles or using special get-out-of-prison cards. Where a player has failed to roll doubles on three attempts to get out of prison, they must pay the fine. They can then proceed to move the number of spaces specified on their last dice roll. Note: rolling doubles will allow the player to leave prison and move, but they will not be able to roll twice consecutively.
Players landing on the Luxury Tax and Income Tax spaces must pay the amount shown on the space. Players landing on a Treasure (Community Chest) or Surprise (Chance) space must follow the instructions stated.
When landing on property spaces, the player can purchase the title deed from the bank for the stated purchase price. They may decline to purchase the property, in which case an auction for the specified property begins (this is adjustable in the game settings). All players can bid on this and the highest bidder, provided they have the funds to purchase the property, becomes the owner. Any player landing on the property from this point must pay the owner the rent stated on the title deed depending on the number of houses/hotels built on the property.
When a player owns all properties in a property group they can begin building. Building can occur at any time but all properties in the property group must have the same level of development before the second phase can continue. For example, all properties in the Italy group must have one house developed on them before there are two houses on one single property. For properties with no buildings but the player owners the whole color group, the rent is doubled.
Mortgaging owned properties can be a way to overcome financial struggles. Any and all buildings must be sold before this (for half the purchase price) and half the purchase price can be obtained for mortgaging the property.
A player is declared bankrupt when they can no longer pay what they owe. Their properties (except buildings) then become the property of whomever they owe - if it is the bank they owe, the bank can auction off the properties. Rules for mortgaged properties will still apply. Alternatively, players can try and raise enough money to avoid bankruptcy by selling buildings and properties.
This board game can be played in online multiplayer mode by joining public games. You can also host private games and share the link to play with family or friends online.
To increase your chances, aim at purchasing high income-generating properties, such as those in the US group and the UK group.
Another way is targeting spaces that other players frequently land on. Statistically, these are the four airports, the Germany property group and the China property group.
You can also strategize through trading in order to acquire a property group. This helps build houses faster, thus massively increasing rent amounts. A property with three houses can earn back its purchase price with just one player landing on it.
The gameplay of Richup.io is based on the Monopoly game. Monopoly was launched in 1935 and is currently published by Hasbro.
