How to Play Capitalize...

STILL NOT SURE?

Frequently Asked Questions

We understand different players call for different playstyles which is why we've broken down the most controversial guidelines here!

Can you buy and sell the same asset in the same turn?

This is a very popular strategy! No, you cannot buy and sell the same specific asset during the same turn; however, you can buy and sell the same asset class. For example, you cannot purchase a piece of land and sell that newly bought land in the same turn. You can; however, purchase a piece of land and sell a different (already existing) piece of land that you own.

When's your next play turn if you go to school right after your current turn (or during your turn)?

No matter when you go to school, you must skip 1 of your turns regardless of if you go to school during one of your turns or during one of your opponent's turns.

In the event that two of the same industries are rolled, do you get double the salaries?

Absolutely! That's the fun part about the game. For example, if two hammers are rolled... and if you're in the Building industry, you would receive twice your salary since you were working overtime on that roll!

Do I get the investment income from the pieces I build on top of during the game? AND does it count towards my net worth?

This is tricky! If there is any part of an asset/triangle showing on the board, then you DO count it towards investment income at the start of each turn as well as counting towards your net worth. For example, you have a 3 Urban triangles on top of a Suburban triangle... You technically still have a bit of the Suburban showing so you DO get to count it. However, once you place that 4th Urban triangle... That Suburban triangle will be fully covered, meaning you CANNOT count it towards investment income or your net worth.

If I sell an Urban triangle, do I get to keep the Suburban triangle that's underneath?

It depends. Similarly to how you count the investment income and net worth... If there is any part of an asset/triangle showing on the board PRIOR to the sale, then you DO get to keep the piece underneath. For example, you have a 3 Urban triangles on top of a Suburban triangle... You technically still have a bit of the Suburban showing so you DO get to keep that entire Suburban triangle in the event that you sell one (or all) of your Urban triangles. In the event that you have 4 Urban triangles on a single Suburban triangle... You do NOT get to keep that Suburban triangle at all.

Best practice is to completely remove the triangle pieces underneath once it's completely covered. That way you stay organized on what you get to keep and what you don't get to keep in the event of selling assets.
