+to get a list of valid answers. +It is not possible to input a negative number, nor is it ever necessary. +.Pp +.Em A Summary of Commands : +.Bl -tag -width item +.It Ic quit +quit game: This allows you to quit the game. +It asks you if you're sure. +.It Ic print +print board: This prints out the current board. +The columns have the following meanings (column headings are the same for the +.Ic where , +.Ic own holdings , +and +.Ic holdings +commands): +.Pp +.Bl -tag -width indent -compact +.It Name +The first ten characters of the name of the square. +.It Own +The +.Em number +of the owner of the property. +.It Price +The cost of the property (if any). +.It Mg +This field has a +.Sq * +in it if the property is mortgaged. +.It \&# +If the property is a Utility or Railroad, this is the number +of such owned by the owner. +If the property is land, this is the number of houses on it. +.It Rent +Current rent on the property. +If it is not owned, there is no rent. +.El +.It Ic where +where players are: Tells you where all the players are. +A +.Sq * +indicates the current player. +.It Ic own holdings +List your own holdings, +i.e., money, get-out-of-jail-free cards, and property. +.It Ic holdings +holdings list: Look at anyone's holdings. +It will ask you whose holdings you wish to look at. +When you are finished, type +.Sq Ic done . +.It Ic mortgage +mortgage property: +Sets up a list of mortgageable property, and asks which you wish to mortgage. +.It Ic unmortgage +unmortgage property: +Unmortgage mortgaged property. +.It Ic buy +buy houses: +Sets up a list of monopolies on which you can buy houses. +If there is more than one, it asks you which you want to buy for. +It then asks you how many for each piece of property, +giving the current amount in parentheses after the property name. +If you build in an unbalanced manner +(a disparity of more than one house within the same monopoly), +it asks you to re-input things. +.It Ic sell +sell houses: +Sets up a list of monopolies from which you can sell houses. +It operates in an analogous manner to +.Ic buy . +.It Ic card +card for jail: +Use a get-out-of-jail-free card to get out of jail. +If you're not in jail, or you don't have one, it tells you so. +.It Ic pay +pay for jail: +Pay $50 to get out of jail, from whence you are put on Just Visiting. +Difficult to do if you're not there. +.It Ic trade +This allows you to trade with another player. +It asks you whom you wish to trade with, +and then asks you what each wishes to give up. +You can get a summary at the end, and, in all cases, +it asks for confirmation of the trade before doing it. +.It Ic resign +Resign to another player or the bank. +If you resign to the bank, all property reverts to its virgin state, +and get-out-of-jail-free cards revert to the deck. +.It Ic save +save game: +Save the current game in a file for later play. +You can continue play after saving, +either by adding the file in which you saved the game after the +.Nm +command, or by using the +.Ic restore +command (see below). +It will ask you which file you wish to save it in, +and, if the file exists, confirm that you wish to overwrite it. +.It Ic restore +restore game: +Read in a previously saved game from a file. +It leaves the file intact. +.It Ic roll +Roll the dice and move forward to your new location. +If you simply hit the +.Aq RETURN +key instead of a command, it is the same as typing +.Ic roll . +.El +.Sh AUTHOR +.An Ken Arnold +.Sh FILES +.Bl -tag -width /usr/share/games/monop-cards.pck -compact +.It Pa /usr/share/games/monop-cards.pck +Chance and Community Chest cards +.El +.Sh BUGS +No command can be given an argument instead of a response to a query. |
