## Mechanics

### Winning points

To win points, you will have to land on chests or answer trivia questions. Each chest/trivia space gives a set amount of points.

### Criminals

Criminals are represented by round pebbles (red for Alameda Slim, olive green for Pickle Thief in later versions). They can be caught by landing on their space and you will win points for doing so (750pts for Alameda Slim, 800pts for Pickle Thief). Catching a criminal will also make it move to another place on the board. However, Pickle Thief only appears in later versions. In Plantopoly Chase, the criminal will always be one space away from you.

### Loaning

Similar to the draw card trick in UNO, you are able to give players a loan until they get enough money to pay upon reaching an expensive place like Shake Springs or Cronesburg.

### Payment

Upon reaching a place, you will have to pay points, based on the place's indicated number of points to pay. For example, 57th Avenue requires you to pay 350 points.

### Planet Zoo

Landing on the Planet Zoo space makes you lose a turn.

## Variants

### Stock

There will be a 5x8 board that will contain your stock amount, which will be equivalent to 1% of your current amount of points. The highest stock amount wins. There is also a trade option on every turn, where you will trade up to 50% of your stock amount with the stock amount of another player.

### Bid

It plays similar to the original game, except that the payment mechanic is replaced by a card matching mechanic. The card you will have to play will be based on the color and number/action above the place you landed on. For example, if the color above the place is blue with a 5, then you will play a blue 5. If it has multiple colors, you will play a wild card (either Wild, +4, or -4).

### Rob

It plays similar to the original, but there is a mechanic where you can steal points from other players.

### Chase

Instead of the last man standing mechanic, the gimmick of this game is that the criminal will always be one space away from you, and it will also move when you roll the dice. The first person to catch the criminal wins.

### Bid and Rob

It follows the same mechanic as Rob, but instead of stealing cards from other players without using anything, you will have to play a wild Steal 4 card, which allows you to steal 4 cards from the opponents.

### Green

It plays the same as the original, but with a twist: seven random places on the board will be green above them. If you land on a green space, you will pay 200 extra points.
