About the game
Turns out, crime does pay! Spice up Monopoly and play in half the time! Just add the Monopoly: Go to Jail Expansion attachment to the classic Monopoly board to turn the Jail and Go to Jail spaces into desired locations. While there, players can collect Corruption or Super Corruption cards that let them get away with mischief — and score advantages over other players! The game ends when all properties are owned or when one player has gone broke. The more time a player spends in Jail, the more time they have to collect Corruption cards, which let them wreak havoc, be sneaky, and gain an edge over opponents If a player lands on Chance, the law is hot on their tail! They’ll need to roll the Escape die to try to get away. On Community Chest, they can roll the Heist die to steal cash. Requires classic Monopoly board - not a standalone game. - description from publisher
