To play Monopoly, first, each player picks a playing piece and gets a set amount of money. Roll the dice to move around the board. When you land on an unowned property, you can choose to buy it. Once you own a full color set of properties, you can start building houses and then upgrade to hotels. This will let you charge more rent from other players who land on your properties. Watch out for Chance cards as they can either give you money or send you to jail. When handling the game, be gentle with the gameboard and playing pieces to avoid damage. Keep the cards in a dry place to prevent them from getting worn out. If a piece gets lost, you can contact Hasbro to see if you can get a replacement.
