As in the normal game, the first player to go
bankrupt retires from play. However, when the
second bankruptcy occurs, the game ends. Play
immediately ceases, with the bankrupt player
turning over to their creditor all that they have
of value, including houses and hotels and any
other properties. This happens when the credi-
tor is a rival player or the Bank.
Each remaining player then values their own
assets: (1) cash on hand; (2) property, utilities
and railroads owned at the price displayed on
the board; (3) any mortgaged property owned
at the price displayed on the Title Deed; (4)
houses, valued at purchase price; and (5) hotels,
valued at purchase price including the value of
the three houses turned in.
The richest player wins!
