+.Sh NAME
+.Nm monop
+.Nd Monopoly game
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Nm
+.Op Ar file
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+.Nm
+is reminiscent of the Parker Brother's game Monopoly, and
+monitors a game between 1 to 9 users.
+It is assumed that the rules of Monopoly are known.
+The game follows the standard rules, with the exception that,
+if a property goes up for auction and there are only two solvent players,
+no auction is held and the property remains unowned.
+.Nm
+The game, in effect, lends the player money,
+so it is possible to buy something which you cannot afford.
+However, as soon as a person goes into debt, he must
+.Dq fix the problem ,
+i.e., make himself solvent, before play can continue.
+If this is not possible, the player's property reverts to his debtee,
+either a player or the bank.
+A player can resign at any time to any person or the bank,
+which puts the property back on the board, unowned.
+.Pp
+Any time that the response to a question is a
+.Em string ,
+e.g., a name, place or person, you can type
+.Sq Ic \&?
+to get a list of valid answers.
+It is not possible to input a negative number, nor is it ever necessary.
