Welcome to the Monopoly Challenge!

Here is how it works:

Each person will be assigned a color team and you will receive a chat and review thread. You may choose if you would like to participate in a serious team which is about ten or more books, medium team which is six or more books, or a fun team in which you can read any number of books.

Note: If there are not enough participants, you may be required to change teams.

Anyway, to the rules:

Each book that you or a team member reads brings you ahead one space. One book read is one point, a buddy read is one additional point, and completing one side of the board is one point. If you complete the whole board/cycle, you will receive two extra points.

Another note: Each square you get gives you a dollar. If you get five dollars as a team, you can buy a chance card which moves you up one square. The team that moves forwards the most squares/has the most points will win!

Books must be over 150 pages, and books over 450 pages will be rewarded an extra point!

If you do not cash in your dollars by the end of the game and you are able to buy chance cards, the money will be used to buy the cards. Any other money will be discarded.

Hopefully I explained that okay! If not, send me a message via Goodreads or write a comment.

The challenge will run from April 14 to May 14. Happy Reading and Sign Up Now! ☺

Serious thx!

So basically, you read as many books as possible. And you gain points and spaces as you read books. You want the most spaces/points, you can buy squares, which is basically five squares equals a free square. Sorry, trying to wrap my head around it.

@Christine I could do a better job explaining-- as you read books, complete buddy reads, etc. you move forwards square by square ahead of the board. Each square is 1 point and 1 dollar. 5 dollars can be used to buy a space so you can move forwards even more. Hopefully that helped/made sense!!
