Pogo.com is an online gaming site. While Pogo.com features hundreds (maybe thousands) of games, the main focus in this article will be for its version of Monopoly Here & Now: The World Edition and Monopoly Slots.
Main Rules[]
Monopoly on Pogo has 4 different rule sets: Pogo Rules, Official Rules, Speedy Rules, and Family Rules. Each one has several game rooms for it. Club Pogo members have access to the Custom rooms, letting them customize the rules to their game.
Pogo Rules[]
The Pogo rules consist of many popular rules mixed with official ones. Free Parking is a bonus space, and time limits, turn limits, and a few others are imposed.
However, the Free Parking bonus is negligible during free play.
Official Rules[]
These games play as closely to the official rules as possible.
Speedy Rules[]
These games are made to be short. The maximum number of turns in Jail has been changed to 1, players start with properties as in the short game, and the game ends when one player is bankrupted.
Family Rules[]
The official rules plus the following:
- Free Parking w/ $5M starting bonus.
- Time limits, etc.
- Unlimited buildings.
- No mortgage fee on transfer of properties
Custom Rules[]
For members only, these rooms allow for customization of the rules, as well as choosing one of the 4 other types.
