How to Use Monopoly Game Chance Cards

Chance cards are used in the game of Monopoly by players picking them up after landing on a space that says "Chance." Chance cards can be positive or negative for players, giving them money in their pockets or taking their money away and sending them to jail.

Instructions

- 1
  Pick up a Chance card when you land on a specially-marked space on the Monopoly board. When you pick up a Chance card, you should take the card that's on top of the pile.
- 2
  Read the Chance card you pick up and act accordingly. Some Chance cards give you money from the bank. Then from other Chance cards, you have to pay the bank money.
- 3
  Advance to another property on some Chance cards by moving your token to the designated property. When you arrive at the property, you have to pay the player who owns the property rent money if it is owned. If the property is unowned, you have the option of purchasing the property, just as you would in a normal turn.
- 4
  Collect $200 by passing Go while using your Chance cards. If the Chance card you draw dictates that you advance to a space that causes you to pass the Go spot on the board, you collect the $200 you get for passing that space.
- 5
  Use a "Get Out of Jail Free" card. If you acquire a "Get Out of Jail Free" card when you draw your Chance card, you can hold on to that card and use it as a free pass if you ever are sent to jail for whatever reason. The "Get Out of Jail Free" card is a valuable card and is worth the cost of getting out of jail.
