Here, the gameplay revolves around buying, selling, and trading properties on the beautiful Caribbean island. The idea is simple: move around the board, land on nice spots, and start building your empire of houses and hotels. When an unlucky opponent lands on something you own, they'll have to pay rent, and if you own the full set of properties of one color, the rent amount increases! The ultimate goal is to see everyone go broke (and bankrupt their bank accounts) while you stack cash and become the supreme tycoon of Aruba. It's the Monopoly you know and love, but with a sunny, tropical twist. Perfect for those who enjoy good negotiation and aren't afraid to see their friends go bankrupt. ## FAQ ### What is the objective of the game?
