Introducing the Spirits and Citizens

In Richman Online, your fortunes are in the hands of the spirits! Depending on their moods, you can go from wild success to drastic failure - or just the opposite. By making wise use of your cards, you can curry favor with these whimsical spirits, and the result is that you'll never play the same game twice! The powers of the spirits may even change depending on the mode you play, so be sure to try them all!

Upgrading Construction Projects

In Richman Online, you have the ability to construct many kinds of buildings. In fact, building up your buildings, smashing your opponents' buildings, and preventing them from smashing yours is a big part of what makes Richman Online fun. Think of it as construction??with an unexpected serving of demolition!

Event Points

There are many different Event Points on each of Richman Online's maps. Each of these spaces has a different effect that you'll experience by landing on them. All of these spaces appear in Regular Play, but not all of them appear in Competitive Play.

Trusteeship System

If you ever have to leave the game for a while but don't want to quit, you can choose the "Trusteeship" function, which will allow the computer to play for you. When you return, you can end the Trusteeship and continue playing the game yourself.

Rules:

• Click the "Trusteeship" button to hand control over to the computer, and click it again to return control to you.
• You cannot control your character while the Trusteeship is active.
• While under the control of the computer, your character will roll the dice and choose their direction automatically.
• While under the control of the computer, your character is affected by all Event Points, Spirits, Citizens, and Cards as they would normally be.
• While Trusteeship is active, your character cannot buy or sell cards or deposit or withdraw money from a shop or bank. The computer will try to minimize the number of transactions it must make without your direct approval.
• While the Trusteeship is active, your character will not use any cards.
• When your character lands on an untaken land or a space you already own, there is a 40% chance that they will not purchase the land (if unowned) or add to a building (if it's a land you own) in normal mode.
