RUNNING OUT OF MONEY = IOU CARDS

A player needing additional money may take out an IOU at any time. Banker issues an IOU card and $200. A player may have only one IOU at any time, but may borrow more than once during the game. IOUs may be paid back to the Bank, along with $20 interest, at any time. A player holding an IOU cannot win the game. A player who loses all of the borrowed money is out of the game.

WINNING THE GAME

The first player to reach $1,000 with no outstanding IOUs wins the game. If more than one player goes beyond $1,000 at the same time (for example, after a Sweepstakes), the player with the most money wins. We will be glad to answer inquiries concerning these rules.
