摘要 In a game in which a plurality of players manage playing pieces in accordance with a set of rules, the rules provide for movement of movable playing pieces over spaces on a game board and for acquisition of property-type playing pieces from another player incident to a confrontation that occurs upon movement of one player's movable playing piece onto a space occupied by another player's movable playing piece. The outcome of the confrontation is determined by chance by using a random-output device, such as dice, or a random-output routine executed by a computer. The outcome of a turn involves an element of chance, as determined by a random-output device, and indicates either a number of spaces for movement of a movable playing piece, or that the player taking the turn has a choice of changing a variable rule that currently is not most favorable to such player so that such variable rule becomes more favorable to such player. The variable rules designate (a) odds by which one player is favored over another in determining the output of a confrontation, (b) which player is favored over another with regard to ease of movement over the game board, and (c) different values for different species of property-type playing pieces. When a player changes one variable rule to become more favorable to such player, another variable rule may change automatically to become less favorable to such player.
