Frequently asked questions
Is the starting money the same in every edition?
No. Many editions use 1,500, but some themed and electronic editions use different amounts. Follow your edition's rules.
Can I change starting money after the game starts?
Not in MonoBoardBank: it is locked once the game starts so all players start equal. The host can still pay players from the bank.
