Middopoly is a Java game very similar to Monopoly. (This game has several changes -- e.g. Free Parking is replaced with Student Parking, Jail is replaced by a Hospital -- but none that seem to change the basic rules.)

The first thing you'll see when you visit the site is a pop-up window that asks how many players are taking part in this game of Monopoly. Choose a number and click on "Okay." Each player will then enter his or her name.

The next step is for each player to choose a token (this is still in the popup window). The computer will then roll to see who goes first (you'll see the results), and once you click on "Play the Game!" it will start.

From there, everything is pretty self-explanatory. The buttons include "Roll," "Trade," "Mortgage," "Unmortgage," "Buy Structures" (houses and hotels) and "Sell Structures."

On your turn, the first thing to do is click "Roll." After you roll and move (moving is automatic), a button marked "[Playername] Finished" will appear. Do not press this button until you're sure that you've done everything you want to on this turn.

If you land on an unowned property, buttons marked "Buy" and "No thanks" will appear in the middle of the game board. You must choose one before continuing.

Player assets are always listed below the game board, and rent is paid automatically. To play with multiple players, they all have to be using the same computer. No computer opponents are available.
