'''Chance''' is one of the two types of card-drawing spaces in Monopoly. Chance cards are orange and are placed near the [[Go]] space. A Chance card is more likely (than a [[Community Chest]] card) to move players, often with lethal consequences (especially due to the Advance To Boardwalk card). Traditionally, the question marks placed on the Chance spaces around the board are pink, blue, and red, in that order.

Chances

Chance is 1 of the 2 types of card-drawing spaces in Monopoly. Chance cards are orange and are placed near the Go space. A Chance card is more likely (than a Community Chest card) to move players, often with lethal consequences (especially due to the Advance To Boardwalk card). Traditionally, the question marks placed on the Chance spaces around the board are pink, blue, and red, in that order.

Space Locations

Cards

The text on each card in the current (as of Sept. 2008) U.S. Standard Edition (the "Atlantic City Edition") is as follows. Differences in one or more previous US editions appear in {braces} (where actual texts were mostly in various sizes of ALL CAPS, and when in upper and lower case might be strangely capitalized--e.g., "pay owner Twice the Rental"--though none of these peculiarities is noted below). Art in one or more of those editions is described in <angle brackets>.

Differences in the UK standard edition should appear in [square brackets].
