Hawaiiopoly
I haven’t played it through, so tell me if anything feels off.
I read “single player” as you against computer opponents, so you pick 1 to 3 opponents (Kimo, Leilani and Makana) on the start screen.
The board
- It has all 22 of your neighborhoods in your five income tiers. The tiers are brown, light blue, pink, orange and navy, and Hawaii Loa Ridge is the priciest square.
- The four railroads, two utilities and two taxes are Oahu stand-ins: Skyline Rail, TheBus, Honolulu Airport, Aloha Tower Harbor, Hawaiian Electric, Board of Water Supply, General Excise Tax and Property Tax. Free Parking is “Beach Day”.
Money
- You start with $10,000 and get $2000 each time you pass GO.
- Prices and rents are the classic Monopoly numbers scaled up about 10x. Kalihi is $600 and Hawaii Loa Ridge is $5,500. The jail fine is $500.
Rules
- You get rent, double rent on a full color set, houses and hotels with even building, and mortgages at half price. Unmortgaging costs the mortgage plus 10%.
- Rails and utilities charge rent by how many you own, and you go to jail on three doubles.
- Debt works the usual way: you raise cash or you go bankrupt. Computer players do this automatically.
- Community Chest and Chance each have a shuffled deck with Hawaii flavor, including Get Out of Jail Free cards you keep.
Keys
- Droll the dice
- BNbuy / no thanks
- Eend turn
- Jpay the jail fine
- Cuse a jail card
- Xdeclare bankruptcy (press twice)
- Ssound on or off
- PQpause / quit
- Hhelp
Everything also has mouse buttons, and clicking any square shows its rents.
Sounds
- The police siren wails for about four seconds when you go to jail, with the board flashing red and blue.
- There are also dice rattles, a cash register for buying, a GO fanfare, card chimes, hammer taps for building and a sad tune for bankruptcy.
I left out auctions, trading and saving to keep the first version playable. A declined property just stays unowned. Want me to add any of those?
