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.

manner as the Local Public Utilities, but the

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

either way on the railroad in the same
manner as in the Landlord’s Game.

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,

rent on each Idle Land card (title deed) and
$25 rent on each Public Utility Card

without payment until his next turn.
