## Description
Monopoly: A.S.S.E. Édition des légendes brings the classic Monopoly formula into the world of the A.S.S.E. football club from Saint‑Étienne, France. Up to eight players roll dice (or spin a wheel) and move around the board, buying or trading properties, building houses and hotels, and collecting rent when opponents land on their spaces. The twist lies in auction cards: landing on certain squares triggers a bidding round where players can outbid each other to secure the purchase, adding tension and strategic depth. Property sets work as usual – larger sets mean higher rents – but player elimination is now a real threat, as bankruptcy removes a player from the game. Negotiation is constant; swapping properties and arranging payments are key to building profitable monopolies. The game includes the usual Monopoly components (board, money, houses, hotels) plus club‑specific icons such as crests and colors. Playtime ranges from 80 to 150 minutes, depending on player count and auction speed. It appeals to fans of economic games and those who enjoy a good bargaining session, though it may feel long for players who prefer quick, low‑conflict games. In short, it’s the Monopoly you know, flavored with French A.S.S.E. charm and extra opportunities for trading and elimination.
