   41: .Sh DESCRIPTION
   42: .Nm
   43: is reminiscent of the Parker Brother's game Monopoly, and
   44: monitors a game between 1 to 9 users.
   45: It is assumed that the rules of Monopoly are known.
   46: The game follows the standard rules, with the exception that,
   47: if a property goes up for auction and there are only two solvent players,
   48: no auction is held and the property remains unowned.
   49: .Nm
   50: The game, in effect, lends the player money,
   51: so it is possible to buy something which you cannot afford.
   52: However, as soon as a person goes into debt, he must
   53: .Dq fix the problem ,
   54: i.e., make himself solvent, before play can continue.
   55: If this is not possible, the player's property reverts to his debtee,
   56: either a player or the bank.
   57: A player can resign at any time to any person or the bank,
   58: which puts the property back on the board, unowned.
   59: .Pp
   60: Any time that the response to a question is a
   61: .Em string ,

   64: to get a list of valid answers.
