RULES:

The object of game is to be the first player to place all 10 of their contribution chips. Everyone loses the game if the Community Fund runs out. Layout the board. Place $1848 in the community fund, the rest of the money stays in the box as the bank. There are no properties, but instead projects. Place each project card next to its corresponding position on the board. Shuffle the chance deck and place it face down on its spot on the board. Each player picks a token and places it on go. Put the stickers on the die in any arrangement if you haven’t already and place the dice next to the board. Each player receives 10 contribution chips of the same color. The oldest player goes first then play proceeds clockwise.
On your turn, if you are managing any properties you may self-develop at the beginning of your turn by adding 1 contribution chip to any open space on 1 of your project cards and paying the bank the self-development project fee on that card. Next you roll both dice and move your token and perform any actions. If the action die shows a 2, 3 or 4, add that to the standard die roll and move your piece. If the action die shows a “times 2” then you double the roll of the other die. A +1 means to draw 1 chance card and a +2 means you draw 2 chance cards. When you draw if you already have a chance card you must discard the extra to the bottom of the deck until you have 1.
If you roll doubles then you get to take another turn. Unless this is the 3rd time you’ve rolled doubles in a row, then you go straight to jail and end your turn.
When you land on a project that is unmanaged you can choose to manage it or auction it. If you don’t have enough money to pay for the project, then the rest of the money comes out of the community fund. The community fund is money that is shared by all the players and it is always used if a player doesn’t have enough of their own money to pay with.
If you chose not to manage the project, then you must auction it off. You are not allowed to bid on a project you are auctioning. Bidding starts at 5 dollars and can increase in increments as little as 5. You don’t need to bid in turn order. The auction ends when no player is willing to increase the bid. The highest bidder pays the bank. If that player doesn’t have enough money, then the community fund makes up the rest. If no player wants to bid, then the project remains with the bank. After you pay for a project you take the project card and put it in front of you.
If you’re managing any projects, you may self-develop 1 project at the beginning of your turn before you roll. To self-develop. Add a contribution chip to the project card and pay the bank the self-development fee on that card. When you land on a project that’s managed by you or another player, you can choose to contribute to it. If the project is managed by another player, pay that player $10 and add one of your chips to any open space on that project card. If you manage the project, then pay the $10 to the bank instead. All payments must come from your owns funds first before they can come from the community fund.
A project is fully developed when all the spaces on the project card are filled with contribution chips. No more chips can be placed on a fully developed project. If you land on a fully developed project, then the bank must pay the manager of that project and the community fund the amount show on the project card. If you manage 2 fully developed projects in a color set and a player lands on one of them, then the bank pays you and the community fund the increased indicated amount.
Whenever any player passes Go, every player collects $50 as a living wage. Every player must then contribute at least $5 to the community fund. When you land on chance draw the top card of the chance deck. If the card says “play this card immediately” then you must immediately do what the card says, then discard it to the bottom of the deck. Otherwise, you may keep the chance card and play it at a future time. If you already have a chance card when you draw, and the drawn card isn’t an “play this card immediately”, then you must pick one card to keep and discard the rest to the bottom of the deck.
When you land on a community shuttle spot, you may pay $50 to the bank from the community fund to more to any project between that community shuttle space and the next community shuttle space.... - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต

When are we getting Monopoly: Feudalism Edition?
Houses are now serfs
That sounds fun!
The feudalism edition: all players get a fixed amount of money per one property card every game round. In their turn, a player can declare war on another player to take a property card from them. Both players secretly spend money to muster armies and the player who spent more wins the war. Other players can join either side. The player with the most property cards after a fixed number of rounds wins the game.

@Fremen Well by exact definition, the USSR was socialist, not communist, communism is only when there's no state, no currency, no classes and there's a social ownership of the means of productions
yet SOCIALISM is only when there's a social ownership of the means of productions, the end. The social ownership means the society owns the means of productions as a whole, which can mean it's the people or the state.

The box does say it is a parody game though
@@TripleSGames Oops; sorry.
Well its out of print now lol

Ironically, the original Game design monopoly was based on was made by a Socialist, and was called 'The landlords game'. The idea was to portray the disparity of influence and power one can have from owning more property than everyone else and how if you're uncontested you can make things cost so much that nobof=dy else can afford to live there anymore. Think back to your last game of monopoly, was there ever a point where a player had NO chance of winning, little money, no remaining assets, and you KNEW they were going to lose but they kept on struggling for a long time? This frustrating state is actually the whole point of the game, to illustrate that someone can have hypothetical freedoms and the 'chance' to still 'win the game' but realistically, the have no chance unless a player with more money and property helps them out.
Also if you are creating a PvP game, they are going to try to mess up their opponents in the game no matter the circumstances. Don't try making PvP games to spread activism.
Also most of the games outcome is dependent on the dice/chance. Similar to.... You can make the connection.
@@ukkisragee9983 When I introduced my friend to board game "Twilight Struggle", I had a chance to win immediatelly, but I didn't take it because I didn't want him to dislike it.
@@ukkisragee9983 Not now anyways.
The landlord game was developed to teach Georgism which removed all taxes from production and moved it onto land. Henry George saw that much of inequality comes from landlords taking an unearned income from the Labours of the community while socialists see the capitalist taking the unearned income. Henry George was right.
What's interesting is that this variant solves one of Monopolys biggest problems: players being knocked out and unable to do anything else. In this one, if one player loses, everyone loses, so everyone pitches in and collaborates to help other players from losing, but you're still striving to individually win.
Super fascinating!
Like usual, fun on paper, horrible in practice.
assuming everyone cooperates
@@neko_aple I mean, there are plenty of cooperative board games. Hardly a new concept.
@@sid2112 > regular monopoly
@@sid2112 Have you played the game? Describe your experience!
This sounds kind of fun. It’s basically competitive cooperation. You try to win by helping others but you need to be careful of not spending the community funds too much. Unless your plan all along was for everyone to lose the game.

@@Cecilia-ky3uw Why do you prefer that those same idiots have no accountability? Because that is what you are proposing when you advocate for anything other than democracy.
My friends and I played Communist Monopoly when we were kids. The only real rule change was that when you landed on Free Parking, everyone’s cash was pooled and a divided up equally. It forced you to constantly buy property and have as little cash on hand as possible. It was great for stopping hoarders and the like
Wow that's actually sounds like a fun and interesting houserule!
So basically when you land on a Bowser space in Mario Party and get the Bowser Revolution event
That actually sounds kinda sick
I'm pretty sure the optimal strategy in Monopoly is to buy almost everything anyway
That sounds like how to escape taxes
I never knew there were Monopoly variants that actually changed the rules up. This seems rather interesting, and I gotta say that I like the community fund feature, as well as giving the trains some extra utility.
There's a lot, actually. I like the one with the speed die.
the community fund is fun... until 1 person decides to play like that's their money. at which point, all other players have to funnel money into it to prevent a loss, which in turn just gives that 1 player money
@@Lightmagician60 or just have everyone intentionally lose to teach em a lesson
Me neither lol
Fortnite Monopoly makes the most changes id say. Completely reworking the money system for health, run out of health you die, you get chances to shoot others to remove their health, it's pretty cool
I love games where there’s a chance for everyone to lose. Cthulhu Dice is another game with this feature that comes to mind. It gives losing players something fun to do by making villainous choices and turns their loss into everybody’s loss, which feels like a win when you were going to lose anyway.
Danielle, if you like games where everyone always loses, vote for a Democrat in the elections.
@@CanI... What do you call it when everyone is dissatisfied with a transaction? A compromise! Better that everyone lose a little than 99.9% of people lose way harder while the remaining 0.1% acquires and hoards more resources than they could ever dream of using within their lifetime.
@@danielleanderson6371 99.9% of the population losing way harder while the remaining 0.1% acquire and hoards more resources than they could ever dream of using within their lifetime is describing perfectly every socialist/communist nation.
Btw, a compromise is when everyone is satisfied with a transaction, arbeit not fully. For example, if you want to sell something and I want to buy it, we will only have a transaction if we both are satisfied with it. If we batter, you might compromise and sell a bit cheaper than you want and I may compromise and pay a bit more than I want, but in the end, if any one of us are not satisfied, we won't have a transaction in any free society.
@@CanI... I'm not going to argue politics on a video about board games. I've already made my snappy comeback, and now I'm going to move on, as should you. We can both leave thinking we're the right one and that we totally owned the other person without wasting more than five minutes of our day on a completely ineffective TH-cam comment war; how's *that* for a compromise?
So 1 player can single-handedly end the game through a high auction bet that bankrupts the community fund?
🤣🤣🤣 yep
Thats why I always play the game with the "house rule" that says you can only use your own money to bid, not the community fund. Now people will usually think twice when they need to contribute to the fund: keep most of your money to bid with and potentially make everyone lose or put it in the pool to be safer
That's why we co-operate and not act selfishly
Happens all the time on real life. It's called Government corruption.
@@MrFiki2000 bid everything and then just live of the community fund and end game in like 3 turns
I enjoyed playing this game. Mainly there is that one player who is purposely sabotaging the game xD
huh, just like real life.
Yup. That's why socialism will never work. There are always people who would ruin it.
@@antongrigoryev6381 The difference is capitalism rewards the people who exploit it
@@orangenostril Nah. It's by design that Capitalism rewards people who find a way in it and no one else.
Rewarding for "exploits", as if something you weren't supposed to do, is exactly what Socialism does. It's a great idea in theory, but it has so many holes for "exploits", and there are so many people who would want to use them, so it just doesn't work.
Ya know... That could be a house rule:
Determine a player to be the "Saboteur", they win if any of the regular lose conditions are met
Maybe, I dunno lol
So this is more coop than anything else?
I didn't mean to start any conflicts, but that seems to be what happens.
No since only one person wins still. Just more complex because the person losing wants to drain the community fund while the wining player wants to save it, but that makes it harder for them to win.
It's a semi-coop; lose together but win alone
@@rrteppo Which kinda represents socialism, because failure is rewarded and success is punished until everyone starves. The 'winning' player is the one who is able to somehow convince the others to let him win, or is able to speedrun the game before the funds run out, and 'escapes' the game.
@@TarsonTalon I wouldn't say socialism "rewards failure" rather it rewards cooperation and timework, which this game as a parody made by rich capitalists, doesnt particularly get.
@@TarsonTalon yeah like when big Banks fail and we have to bail them out...wait a minute
Ironic that the original version of monopoly was a clone of the game landlords which is a satire and critique of capitalism, meanwhile monopoly socialism was a edit made by capitalist to mock socialism

that's not irony
@@emmalopez5333 tell that to anyone who's lived in a society that tried this Monopoly's world lol
@@Bean_Soup it is irony
The amazing thing is that Socialism is just as flawed as unchecked Capitalism. Shifting ownership of the means of production and resources from private hands to the government kicks the can down the road a bit. The only difference is a company can fail and that is fine, competition will sprout up with new businesses to fill the void. A government fails, and, well, that is far more catastrophic.

I can see this being a fun coop game that’s a bit closer to the ideals of socialism with one really minor rule change… instead of “the person who puts down all their contribution points first wins,” the game is instead “when everyone puts their contribution points down the group wins.”
Would be more interesting, although might be an easier game if everyone communicates. Hmm… I wonder what that is saying…
That is a good idea.
the last person to place their contribution chips down wins (free money)
Cool idea but that's not how it works, ever heard the phrase "some are more equal than others."
Sounds like a good idea in theory, but probably not in practice. The game can be easily won by placing all the money in the comunity chest, auctioning off all the project at the lowest price, and paying for other player. Also it is not realistic as It ignores the human nature of wanting to “win” against each other. If humans are capable of working together without harming another human, we would of done it by now. I like how the game is because it shows that being greedy may help you win, but it risk causing problems for everyone.

A college professor made a game called Anti-Monopoly in the late 70's in response to Monopoly. I think the Monopoly company tried to sue him for rights to the game or something but lost. I could be thinking of something else, though.
The problem is that the game is still about winning and about competing with others.
You should be able to win as a team.
It's so funny how socialists don't understand human nature, even after decades of failures
Then play break the safe instead.
You decide for yourself what victory is. If you think working together to get all the projects properly developed is success, no rule listed in the game book can take that from you.
That would make sense if it was meant to be about socialism in the real sense
I think that by not losing you already kind of win as a team.

My one complaint is that I’m certain actual socialists would not care about using plastic straws. That feels more like Monopoly: Making Fun Of Liberals Edition
The amount of single-use plastics out in the world is a real problem, but replacing plastic straws is a complete red herring. The bigger issue is in packaging, whereas plastics straws are really the best possible option. It’s just something companies can do for cheap to make themselves look socially conscious.

My brain hurts, its a game were you NEED to play together to not loose but in the same time you need to win and let the others loose. This game has so much potential for betray and cheating others. Its almost Mario Party in a socialism board game.
Despite not actually showing how socialism works in a practical way, they did kind of point out that socialism does work if the players are cooperating and trying to win, but fails when you have someone go out of their way to sabotage it.
But then showcases the reality of socialism because there can only be ONE winner, Dear Leader.
Remove that rule, and you're not playing Monopoly Socialism, you're playing Monopoly Democracy - and laying the foundations for some nice poor-enriching capitalism.
@@KopperNeoman the one winner rule is the one thing that sticks out, but it doesn't make any sense with the theme. At that point, with everything developed, and the community healthy, having everyone else lose makes little sense.
Also, yeah, poor enriching monopoly, where no one wins literally until everyone else is bankrupt.
@@cousinpatsey2471 maybe if everyone had the option to invest in their developments at the beginning of each turn everyone could gain 10 developments and win together 🤔
@@breaddboy it still doesn't make sense though. How does someone else improving a community project make the community lose? If anything, the win condition should be when everyone has collectively developed the board (or at least, as much as they can manage). Having a single winner doesn't make a lot of sense for a "socialist" board game.
@@cousinpatsey2471 But that's how things tend to turn out in our world. Ppl talk as if greed and corruption would be solved somehow if we just do X, Y or Z. Some1 is "winning" in the end and it's probably not going to be you and if it is you some1 will have lost out.
That $1848 symbolism is hilarious
You can easily make everyone lose the game if a project goes to auction. Just simply bid $9999 (or the sum of your own money + the community fund) and boom, everyone loses.
Or, as some other comments have pointed out, ride the train and go on 80 laps until the community fund runs out lol

@@digaddog6099 You're right. There isn't any culture out there. But we are talking about anarchism here.

This game is obviously more focused on "owning the libs" than on making the game mechanics reflect what socialism actually is.
@@MrAWESOMUS
What I find really confusing: There seem to be some cards and mechanics that, to me, a German that lives in a healthy social-democratic system, seem very reasonable and not at all wrong.
For example, there is a card reading "the school needs new computers, better pay up! You have no kids? Then tough luck!". This is obviously intended to outrage the players, but in reality, this is basically our digitalization-package (a government program enacted last year to help schools during at-home-schooling in Corona) which only saw criticism because *people thought too little money was allocated to the project.*
Also, the project mechanic seems to be REALLY nice for representing local, communal socialism on a city or village level. Everyone contributes to it, there is just one player that manages it. This is how local projects could very well work under socialism.
I only take some offense to some VERY offensive cards ("You seem to be too well off. That's not socialism, got to JAIL") and the fact that the community fund is open to everyone without a vote (making the game more anarchist than socialist).
But besides that, it seems to be great! I will definetly buy it for my next party meeting!
Monopoly, which was once a free for all battle, is now a game to work together; I'd really love to try it!
The theme is both brilliantly clever and exceedingly dumb at the same time.
This is actually a very interesting way to play
“Everyone loses the game” LOL
This is the best thing I have ever seen. Is this a comedy channel?
Quick question, can players add or take from community fund outside the mentioned interactions in the video?

Are you losing the game? Use the several "everyone loses" tools to equalize.
Live up to Monopoly's worse sides, multiplied by a thausand with the ability to ruin everyones games even if youre not winning
That little grin at the end xD
A variant of this game that I came up with:
Rolling 2x on the action die counts as a double.
Every turn, add the total of the dice onto the community funds.
If you go to the gulag (Jail), then you don't collect $50, but you still have to contribute to the community funds and everyone else collects $50 and contributes to the community funds as well.
If you pass GO with the community shuttle, then all players collect $50 and contribute to the community funds.
If you land on Free Parking, then each player collects $5 from the community fund.
You may not receive money for other players developing your projects while in the gulag. That money goes to the bank instead.
You can get out of the gulag by rolling doubles with both dice, as well as paying $50 or a Get out of the gulag free card.
When every player places all their contribution chips, then every player wins! There is no individual winning.
My Variation: The Maximum Auction Value is twice the Project's Listed Price. Example: if a Project's listed Price is $100 anyone who bids $200 immediately ends the auction, and that player will buy the project. This is what I call, "Buyout".
@@addisonfung5009 Nice.
So pretty much the same as regular monopoly, too many rules, lasts forever, will probably always be played wrong.
Glorious!
Is there a desktop client for this?
How do you make them face the doors? Is that a chance card?
wait, so do all players not start off with any money?
so it's really easy to bankrupt the community funds...and only one of you "wins". So, how will Socialism [Monopoly] work with greedy players?
@@MindOfGenius That's the point, Socialism like communism is flawed by human greed, this game is used to illustrate that.
@@sunjian9818that's also the point of base monopoly. It was made by socialists to demonstrate how bad capitalism is. Yknow that state where you have no money and are struggling to survive unless another player helps? Yea that's the point of the game.
@@SpadeWolfo So both monopolies confirm that Capitalism, Socialism, and Communism doesn't work well.
@@sunjian9818 Not precisely. In a communist as described by Marx, there really is no issue of human greed. Go ahead and be greedy. Human greed is a problem when somebody enforces your property. But the point is that there is no property, and no police to defend it. This game is a little confused. Half the time it mocks socialism as the straw man a right winger may explain it (silly small scale projects by the community without actually doing anything) but also tries to be "accurate" to socialism with community funds and "helping one another" whatever that may mean. A Marxist would tell you that it's inaccurate just because it has a jail.
Screw the idea that I have to pay to get someone else out of jail
All humor aside that does seem like a pretty fun spin on the usual monopoly stuff
This is supposed to be a critique, but this seems so much nicer and more fun than normal.
Yes, but where is Monopoly dictatorship? Ya know, the one where nobody wins and the players attempt to undermine the ruling authority in an effort to be the last person to lose...
Isnt that how most monopoly games go? 3v1 with dark deals for bed rock as long as Mr highroller dies a miserable death?
Why is it called jail and not gulag?
OK, Probably cause you wouldn't come out of a gulag
I have 2 questions. How do you earn money in this game? And do you draw a chance card before or after you move if you happen to roll it?
He said you earn money from developed projects?
Yeah, I beat Elizabeth Maggie's feeling rather warm and fuzzy about this version of The Landlords' game, isn't she?
If you roll doubles a forth time after going to jail, you get "never existed," and you are kicked from the game
Ah, the 1989 card.
*1984 intensifies*
Sick burn, Hasbro. This is why we like you. 😎
What is socialism to you
@@mynamesnotshanekid813 "when government does stuff." is their most certainly answer.
So it seems like if you wanted to you could instantly cause everyone to lose by landing on a comunity shuttle and just run circles around the board until the community fund is dry.
Is there anything stopping a player from bidding on a property for a ridiculously high value just to then spend the entire community fund and sabotage the game?
At what point do the players join the bread line?
at Go.. duh
bro do jumanji plz
This is awesome.
“Place $1848 in the community funds”
*me realizing that number has more than one meaning*
Ah yes, a game made by capitalists based on a game from socialists to mock capitalism, mocking socialism
*_Ironic_*
Wait so like... is this actually good? This seems like a very interesting game.
Probably not. Too many rules, and not a lot of permutation between games. Too much reliance on dice rolls. It's just as much a gimmicky mess as of monopoly, but this time with more rules.
not as a game, nor a depiction of socialism. its just propaganda
@@MakenaForest Nah it's a pretty accurate depiction.
It's going to end with the majority having gained nothing but suffering
Like socialism always has and will.
The only issue is that everyone losing is only an option and not an inevitability
@@MakenaForest Didn't ask, plus anime profile pic, plus cringe.
It seems good until you realize there are various Nuke options that make everyone lose the game, like making laps using the shuttle, or bidding a project a bagillion dollars to bleed the community fund dry.
If one person is winning, and you realize youre about to lose, theres nothing stopping you from pulling the plug and forcing stalemate.
Imagine if uno had a stalemate button and whenever anyone got down to 2 cards someone would nuke the game.
This actually looks fun to play
Can we use money from the community fund to purchase this game?
This isn't really Monopoly Socialism. Real Monopoly Socialism has never been tried before.
Monopoly socialism is actually anti-socialist
Just like normal monopoly is to capitalism
That’s because this is a parody by a scout it’s company that doesn’t under socialism
@@jmurray1110 what?
@@thatfamiiiarnight3665 No idea what I meant to put but idiot or propagandist could work
Just like all socialist examples to you guys lol. It conveniently never is socialism even when followed by the textbook definition 🤷♀️
I think this is my favorite variant
does rolling a x2 count as a double, thus giving you another turn? or no
This is purely brilliant. The closest represnation of socialism I have seen.
Bruh
except that theres not a way for multiple players to win
Still somewhat off and partly makes fun of socialism as same or close to stereotypical communism (which it definitely isn't), although in other ways, it represents socialism corrextly. The ideas are a bit clashing
@@arttukettunen5757 og Monopoly is making fun of capitalism. And honestly Americans call everything socialism, including capitalism. (Trust me I have seen people make the argument that buying a house is socialism.)
@@rrteppo it's socialism if you get some of the money from the community then In that cercumstance it is socialist to buy a house
I literally thought this was satire, but if it were, they would use "gulag" instead of "jail"
REAL capitalists put as little effort into their products as possible. That maximizes the "energy expended to profit ratio". But it also means everything produced under capitalism is utter crap. Case in point.
"If you land on Go To Jail, then you immediately go to jail."
Only one question do the games last till the end of time till someone get Park Place and Board Walk with buildings on it otherwise yea missed the mark!
"If you don't have enough for the auction, it comes out of the community fund" I LOLd so hard. The game is BROKEN!
You can roleplay as a capitalist in this game by bringing a baseball bat to the game and smashing the board on your turn. this ends the game instantly.
Or stealing the bank's money before it begins and paying off players to try to make everyone lose.
That's just normal socialism.
Roleplaying a capitalist would result in a game of Stratego - if you win, everyone plays Boom Street. If you lose, everyone loses.
Then you play a round of regular monopoly until the next election happens and everybody decides to go back to playing monopoly socialism. Repeat until you start playing monopoly fascism
@Roniixx Tell that to 20th Century American Imperialism.
Wait, did I miss something? He said to put the 1800 in the community fund, and the rest goes to the bank, so how do the players have any of the money? He mentions several times that they have to use their money before the community fund.
Developed projects?
Use community funds, then get developed project, get own money.
so land on shuttle make the money in community pile almost disappear, and land on a high value project, also why is there trade?
i think what they meant to say was, when the community pool of money runs out the bank prints more money but in doing so all properties now cost more due to completely unrelated hyper-inflation.
Okay, but... How does everyone win, like with socialism?
Only 1 player wins,no matter what version of Monopoli you play.
@@maestrulgamer9695 but qt least in this version there's the chance that ALL players are losers
People are competitive in nature. There is no such thing as "everyone wins". Someone will always be on top of others.
@@antongrigoryev6381 I'm not sure about you but plenty of people are willing to cooperate as well. The co-op game genre doesn't exist for nothing.
@@lily_littleangel Except real life isn't a game, and people who get to authority positions aren't a bunch of friends just wanting to have fun together.
I like the pieces
I knew that there were multiple versions of Monopoly, but I've never seen anything like this.
$1848?
It's a reference the wave of working class people revolutions across Europe in and after 1848
@@osamaal-humaimidi1481 its cuz that was the year when the Communist Manifesto was published.
I'm just gonna house rule a tax on monetary transactions to put money back into the community fund because that's Socialism would actually work.
That's literally just sales tax and it already exists under capitlaism
@@bt3743 taxes aren’t capitalism, are you stupid? Taxes existed in feudalism, tribalism, and in every other economic system. Why? Because taxes are a government process. Not an economic one. Capitalism does not take taxes into account, while socialism does.
@@sandshark2 I get what you’re saying but they didn’t say taxes are inherently capitalist, but that they already exist under capitalism
Are you saying theres actually a functioning form of Socialism that doesn't lead to eventual collapse of the economy?
@@alexjaeger3033 most "Capitalist" economies are being propped up by Socialist intervention. Welfare, subsidies, government contracts, etc.
01:15 - 01:18 a plus 1 means to draw 1 chance card and a plus 2 means you draw 2 chance cards 💳
Special variant: Solo Socialism.
This mode is a single player experience where you have the usual community fund and all 40 contribution chips. There are no more auctions, so if you land on an unowned property, you can choose just not to claim it. Also, at the end of your turn, you can give some of your own money to the community fund, or you could take some money from the community fund with the same rules for the community fund. If the community fund EVER gets to 0 dollars, then you lose, even if you plan to pay it back later. To win, you must place down all 40 contribution chips and develop all the properties to beat the bank.
