## Description
Monopoly: AON brings the classic Monopoly formula to celebrate the 325th anniversary of Dutch insurer AON. Each player acts as an investor moving around the board, buying and trading properties, and building houses and hotels to boost rent. Movement is dictated by dice, so luck decides where you land, but strategy lies in the auctions you win, the trades you negotiate, and completing property sets. The more complete a set, the higher the rent collected from opponents who land on your squares. The game features auction, negotiation, set collection, trading, and yes, player elimination for those who run out of cash. The ultimate goal is simple: amass the most wealth and drive rivals into bankruptcy. The board and components are themed around AON, yet gameplay stays true to the classic, offering 100‑minute sessions for 2‑8 players. If you enjoy crunching numbers, haggling, and that satisfying "gotcha" moment when someone lands on your pricey property, Monopoly: AON will keep you entertained. Just remember that dice‑driven luck can make outcomes unpredictable, and early player elimination may shorten the fun for those knocked out early.
