ULTIMATE CHEATER'S MODE
[]
Feel like you can get away with a whole lot more? Then play like a true cheater! In this mode, you can try anything!
The Cheat, Chance, and Community Chest cards will give you specific advantages, rewards, and penalties, but otherwise, you can cheat all you want! Steal money from the Bank! Completely ignore the dice! If you can get away with it, do it! This mode requires close attention to the game-maybe even a little paranoia-and you'll need to make some house rules to deal with the really wild cheaters. Some things may happen that these rules won't cover. Play at your own risk!
