I never understood why snake eyes gets bonus money and not double sixes they both have the same probability of being spinned (2.78% chance)

People do play that you get bonus money for "boxcars" (double sixes).

why can't you trade for rent immunity? How is that against the rules? It's a real trade

Same rule in tournament play.

Of course. Read the rules.

There’s still a loophole for immunity. You can buy a non-hotel property for the same amount he would owe you for landing on your property, and then sell it back to him for $1...

We play that you can't sell something to one opponent for less than another there will pay.

well that's not the rule. your game is too heavily regulated.

I can’t speak for everyone, but I absolutely hate any new editions of board games. I grew up playing the original Monopoly and will only play the original.

Ever since Hasbro took over, all of these games have become dumbed down and cheapened.

Well said

No bonus money for getting snake eyes.
No bonus money for landing on Go
No borrowing money from another player or the bank.
No forgiving rent money or trading for rent immunity.
Nothing for landing on free parking. When's the last time you got paid because you found free parking?

Thank me later

Only Free parking is part of our house rules. Never tried without it

I agree these house rules that give out free money make no sense but to not allow a free and open market that's a whole different story

Play without it and you'll be amazed at how much quicker and more strategic the game is without a welfare system.

It's a common sense rule to avoid fights about collusion or teaming up on a 3rd opponent. It's not a rule that adds infinite money into the system that turns the game into a torture device.

So you have no problem giving away money at the beginning but when someone is down on their luck you want to kick them?

If you want your games to last for days, then by all means, let people borrow whatever they need and make thousands off of parking for free.

Dan plays by the real written rules. No bonuses or freebies.
Wow

[NTorch]

I must have missed it, but how (or when) was there an Amazon deal on this? Or was $53 a steal?

first of all teaming up is not illegal that is what we call an oligoply and after all we are playing monopoly. Secondly it really depends on who your playing with

That’s house rules...
