You've heard of it, you've played it, and you've won it... a few times.

你聽說過它，玩過它，還贏過它......好幾次。

At the end of this video, we want you to be the ultimate Monopoly tycoon.

在本視頻的最後，我們希望您成為大富翁的終極大亨。

We'll refresh your memory on the game basics, tell you all about its convoluted history, introduce you to a Monopoly champion like no other, and, most importantly, let you in on his priceless advice.

我們將為您介紹大富翁遊戲的基本知識，告訴您大富翁遊戲錯綜複雜的歷史，向您介紹一位獨一無二的大富翁冠軍，最重要的是，讓您瞭解他的無價建議。

Later on in the game, if you happen to go to jail, you want to stay there as long as you can.

在遊戲的後期，如果你碰巧進了監獄，你就想盡可能長時間地呆在那裡。

The quintessential real estate board game that gets us all in a mogul frenzy.

最典型的房地產棋盤遊戲，讓我們所有人都為之瘋狂。

The thought of bankrupting your fellow players and building your fortune has been a success for decades, making the game a staple in every household and across multiple generations.

幾十年來，讓同伴破產並積累財富的想法獲得了成功，使遊戲成為家喻戶曉、跨越多代人的主打遊戲。

You probably already know the basics, but let's do a quick run-through to refresh your memory.

您可能已經瞭解了基本知識，但讓我們來快速瀏覽一下，以喚起您的記憶。

In a nutshell, you and your fellow players buy properties as you move around the board.

簡而言之，您和您的同伴在棋盤上移動時會購買房產。

When someone lands on your property, they pay you rent.

當有人登陸你的房產時，他們會向你支付租金。

When you land on their property, you pay them rent.

當你降落在他們的地產上時，你要向他們支付租金。

Once you acquire a full color set, you can build houses and eventually hotels, and charge even more rent.

一旦獲得全套顏色，就可以建造房屋，最終建成酒店，收取更多租金。

It is what it is, just a spot to park for free.

它就是它，只是一個免費停車的地方。

You do not get the goodies in the middle.

In fact, all income tax and luxury tax should go straight to the bank.

事實上，所有的所得稅和奢侈稅都應該直接存入銀行。

You can buy properties from the very first round.

您可以從第一輪開始購買房產。

And if you don't feel like buying the property you landed on, well, you either have to buy it or auction it.

如果你不想買下你的房產，那麼，你要麼買下它，要麼拍賣它。

Okay, feels like we got the basics in and brushed up on some rules.

好了，感覺我們已經掌握了一些基本知識和規則。

At the height of the Great Depression, it is said that Charles, like many Americans, was unemployed.

據說，在經濟大蕭條最嚴重的時候，查爾斯和許多美國人一樣失業了。

This prompted him to develop the Monopoly board game from his basement.

這促使他在自家地下室開發了大富翁棋盤遊戲。

Except that not everyone agrees with our version of history.

只不過，並不是所有人都同意我們的歷史版本。

Evidence suggests that a similar version existed way before, and it wasn't called Monopoly then.

有證據表明，類似的版本在很久以前就存在了，而且那時還不叫大富翁。

And the original inventor was not Charles Darrow.

而最初的發明者並不是查爾斯-達羅。

The inventor, Elizabeth Maggie, also known as Lizzie Maggie.

發明者伊麗莎白-麥琪（Elizabeth Maggie），又名麗茲-麥琪（Lizzie Maggie）。

Lizzie was a progressive woman who wanted to create a game that showed the perils of property ownership.

麗茲是一位思想進步的女性，她想製作一款遊戲來展示財產所有權的危害。

Especially the inequality between landlords and tenants.

尤其是房東和房客之間的不平等。

Ironically, unlike today's Monopoly, Lizzie wanted her board game to show that it was better when all players were wealthy.

具有諷刺意味的是，與今天的《大富翁》不同，麗茲希望她的棋盤遊戲能表明，當所有玩家都富有時，遊戲會更好。

This was her way of criticizing the first Monopolies of the 1900s.

這是她責備 20 世紀第一批壟斷企業的方式。

Lizzie patented her work over the years and defended her claim as the inventor.

多年來，麗茲為自己的作品申請專利，併為自己作為發明者的主張進行辯護。

But still, the main credit was attributed to Charles Darrow, who patented his version in 1935.

不過，主要功勞還是要歸功於查爾斯-達羅，他於 1935 年為自己的版本申請了專利。

It immediately became the best-selling game in America.

它立即成為美國最暢銷的遊戲。

Streets from Atlantic City populated the first game board.

大西洋城的街道鋪滿了第一塊遊戲板。

And it wasn't long until other cities made it to print as well.

不久後，其他城市也開始印刷。

With this, Monopoly champions emerged around the world.

於是，大富翁冠軍在世界各地湧現。

Monopoly to me started probably when I was about 8 or 9 years old.

對我來說，大富翁大概是從 8、9 歲開始的。

You know, the days before video games and computers.

你知道，那是還沒有電子遊戲和電腦的年代。

I won the World Monopoly Championship in 1985.

1985 年，我贏得了世界大富翁錦標賽。

After, I think it was about two hours, I managed to bankrupt all the other players.

大概過了兩個小時，我成功地讓所有其他玩家破產了。

And then I became the outright winner and presented with a Monopoly set with $15,140, which is how much you get in a normal Monopoly set.

然後，我成為了最後的贏家，獲得了一套價值 15140 美元的大富翁套裝，這就是普通大富翁套裝的價值。

在此之前，我是一名計程車司機。

And just basically enjoying retirement at the moment.

現在基本上就是在享受退休生活。

And looking after the Monopoly collection.

Oh yes, because on top of being a champion, Jason also holds an extensive Monopoly collection accumulated over years and years.

哦，對了，因為除了是冠軍之外，傑森還擁有多年積累的大量大富翁收藏。

So the Monopoly collection itself consists of probably over 400 individual Monopoly sets.

是以，大富翁系列本身大概包括 400 多套獨立的大富翁套裝。

So examples of the different Monopolies are The Beatles, Wizard of Oz, Batman, Looney Tunes, Spider-Man.

是以，披頭士、綠野仙蹤、蝙蝠俠、魯尼-唐尼、蜘蛛俠等都是不同的壟斷例子。

I've probably got board games from over 100 different countries.

我大概有 100 多個不同國家的棋盤遊戲。

I know it's by no means the largest Monopoly collection, but I also have the other random items like cups, mugs, anything with a Monopoly logo on, I've probably got in a cupboard somewhere.

我知道這絕不是最大的大富翁收藏，但我還有其他一些隨意的物品，比如杯子、馬克杯，任何印有大富翁標誌的東西，我可能都放在櫃子的某個地方。

I think it's fair to say Jason loves Monopoly.

And now, what you've all been waiting for, the priceless tips from our champion that will catapult you into Monopoly victory.

現在，就是你們期待已久的，來自我們冠軍的無價祕訣，它將讓你一舉奪得大富翁的勝利。

Pick up as many pieces of property as you can, no matter how big or how small.

撿起儘可能多的物品，無論大小。

Probably the favourite set is the orange set.

最喜歡的套裝可能是橙色套裝。

Conveniently located for coming out of jail.

The most likely number you're likely to throw in dice is 7, which is actually community chest.

擲骰子時最有可能擲出的數字是 7，這實際上是社區胸牌。

But the second two numbers would be 6 or 8, which is directly on those two.

但後兩個數字是 6 或 8，直接在這兩個數字上。

The set I would tend to avoid getting would be to go around and eventually pick up the green set.

我傾向於避免購買的套餐是繞一圈，最終購買綠色套餐。

And also, as you're going around the board, a lot of people never get quite as far as the green set because they end up going to jail.

此外，當你繞著棋盤走的時候，很多人都走不到綠色那一組，因為他們最終會進監獄。

They go to jail space obviously just before the green set.

很明顯，他們是在綠色佈景之前進入監獄空間的。

As soon as you've managed to acquire a set, hopefully the orange set, is to get three houses on each of the orange sets.

一旦你成功獲得了一套房子，希望是橙色的那套，就要在每套橙色的房子上獲得三間房子。

And the rate of return works out statistically at the best value for your money.

據統計，回報率能讓你的錢發揮最大價值。

There are only 32 houses in a Monopoly set and you cannot exceed that number in a game.

一套大富翁遊戲中只有 32 間房子，在遊戲中不能超過這個數字。

So it can be quite beneficial if there are lots of properties being developed, just to go up to the maximum of four houses because that can act like a blocking tactic.

是以，如果有很多房產正在開發，那麼將房屋數量增加到最多四棟會非常有利，因為這可以起到阻擋的作用。

So other people who may have a set may not be able to develop them up to their full potential, may be stuck on one or two houses on their property.

是以，其他可能擁有一套房產的人可能無法充分發揮其潛力，可能只能在其房產上建造一兩棟房屋。

Later on in the game, you don't want to go into jail early on because it stops you going around the board and picking up property.

在以後的遊戲中，你不想一開始就進監獄，因為這會阻止你繞著棋盤拾取財產。

But when the board's looking quite well developed and there's properties on there with houses on that you don't want to land on, if you happen to go to jail, basically you want to stay there as long as you can.

但是，當委員會看起來相當發達，而且上面有你不想降落的房屋時，如果你碰巧進了監獄，基本上你就想盡可能長時間地呆在那裡。

And another thing is, whilst you're in jail, you can actually still collect rent.

還有一點，在監獄裡，你實際上還可以收房租。

Your money has to be visible on the table so the other players know you're not cheating or whatever.

你的錢必須在賭桌上顯而易見，這樣其他玩家才知道你沒有作弊什麼的。

But you don't necessarily have to have it spread out in front of you like that.

但也不一定非要這樣攤在你面前。

You can gather it up into one particular pile.

It keeps it sort of more discreet as to exactly what money you're holding.

這樣可以更隱蔽地知道你手裡到底有多少錢。

You find that obviously Monopoly attracts lots of different personalities.

你會發現，顯然大富翁吸引了很多不同性格的人。

You get from one extreme, somebody who sits very quietly, doesn't say a word, they're never going to have a chance in Monopoly.

從一個極端來說，如果一個人安安靜靜地坐著，一句話也不說，那麼他在大富翁遊戲中永遠不會有機會。

Or you get the other extreme, where somebody can be a bit arrogant, a bit bullyish.

或者你會看到另一個極端，有人會有點傲慢，有點恃強凌弱。

And that tends to not be a good trait either because you just alienate people.

這往往也不是一個好的特質，因為你只會疏遠別人。

You've got to get on with your fellow player.

So you've got to convince that player that, you know, that deal there is really what you need to do.

所以，你必須讓球員相信，你知道，那筆交易真的是你需要做的。

It'll help your game, it'll help my game.

這對你的比賽有幫助，對我的比賽也有幫助。

So being just kind and nice to other people just seems to be a good tactic.

是以，與人為善、善待他人似乎是一種很好的策略。
