-.SH NAME
-monop \- Monopoly game
-.SH SYNOPSIS
-.B /usr/games/monop
-[ file ]
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-.I Monop
-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.
-.PP
-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 \*(lqfix the problem\*(rq,
-.IR 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
-.IR string ,
-e.g., a name, place or person, you can type `?' to get a list of valid answers.
-It is not possible to input a negative number, nor is it ever necessary.
