OBJECT… The object of the game is to become the richest player by buying and trading buildings and organizations at Alfred University.
THE PLAY… Each player starts the game with $1500 and no property. At the beginning of each turn, the player up rolls the dice and moves the number of spaces indicated by the dice. Depending on where the player lands, he may be able to buy property, draw a card, pay a fee, etc. When doubles are rolled, the player gets to roll again. However, if a player rolls doubles three times in a row, he is forced to go immediately to Academic Probation.
ACADEMIC ALLEY… When a player passes or lands on "Acadamic Alley", he collects $200 in workstudy.
BUYING PROPERTY… If a player lands on an unowned building or organization, it may be purchased from the trustees for the amount shown on the board.
PAYING FEES… Whenever a player lands on property owned by another player, the owner is entitled to be paid a fee as indicated on the property's deed card. If the property is mortgaged, no fees may be collected. It is advantageous for players to own all the properties in a color group since the owner then may charge twice the original fee. Also, if all the properties of a given color are owned by one player, that player may have sculptures or even an a statue of King Alfred that further increase the fees.
DRAWING CARDS… If a player lands on a game space marks "E-Mail" or "PCC Mail", he must draw a card of the appropriate color and follow the instructions.
ALUMNI HALL… If a player lands on the "Alumni Hall" game space, he must either pay $200 or 10% of his total net worth.
ACADEMIC PROBATION… A player is in Academic Probation when: (1) his game piece lands on the "Go to Academic Probation" game space; (2) he draws a "Go to Adacemic Probation" card; (3) he rolls doubles three consecutive times. A player's turn ends when he is sent to Academic Probation. If a player lands on the Academic Probation game space during a normal dice roll, he is "just visiting" and may move as usual on his next roll. A player in Academic Probation may only leave by: (1) rolling doubles on any of his proceeding three turns (if successful in rolling doubles to get out of Academic Probation, the player moves his game piece the number of spaces indicated by the dice, but even though he has rolled doubles, he does not get to take another turn); (2) using a "Get Out of Academic Probation Free" card; (3) settling the charges for $50.
SCULPTURES… A player may buy sculptures for a building if he owns all the buildings in that building's color group. Patents must purchased evenly for each building in a given group.
KING ALFRED STATUES… If a building already has four sculptures, its owner may purchase a fifth sculpture, giving it a statue of King Alfred.
SELLING PROPERTY… Properties without sculptures may be sold or traded to any human player as a private transaction. (To trade with another player, select both players from the "Players" menu and drag the property to the new player's window. Money and "Get out of Academic Probation Free" cards may also be traded by dragging to a new player.) Sculptures may be sold for one half the price paid for them, and must be sold evenly.
MORTGAGES… Properties without sculptures may be mortgaged at any time during the game for the amount of money specified on the deed card. No fees may be collected when a property is mortgaged. To lift a mortgage, the owner of the property must pay the amount of the mortgage plus 10% interest.
BANKRUPTCY… When all of a player's property is mortgaged and he is in debt, he has lost the game. If his debt is to another player, that player gains control of all his property. The last player left in the game wins.
