The object is to be the first
player to build a complete housing estate at the most reasonable cost. If the
player has no capital, a Government subsidy can be claimed at any time and up
to any amount. The game progresses until one player has completed
building a housing estate. Each player then works out the amount by
which the Government has subsidised the building of each house; dividing
the total amount of money drawn as Government subsidy by the number of
houses built. The winner of the game is the player who has built houses
at the cheapest cost to the Government.
