House Rules

• We play by the “Nice Rule” – you pay for the rent of the properties you land on, even if the owner of the property forgets to ask for payment.
• Immunities are not allowed.  (For example: “I’ll trade you this property if you don’t make me pay when I land on it the next 3 times”).
• No advice giving.
• $500 and all tax money are placed in the middle of the board.
• If a player lands on “Free Parking” he or she wins the money in the middle of the board.
• If a player lands on the 10% or $200 tax spot, he or she must pay $200.

Rule Clarifications

• Each player is given $1500 at the beginning of the game (Two $500s, Two $100s, Two $50s, Six $20s, Five $10s, Five $5s, Five $1s.
• The buying and selling of houses does not have to occur on your turn, but rather, can be done at any time during the game.
• Each game board must have exactly 32 houses and 12 hotels.
• When a player rolls doubles on the 3rd roll when in jail, the person moves no matter what.  If they roll doubles, they move and do not pay the $50 (They do not roll again even though doubles were rolled).  If the player does not roll doubles, they pay the $50, then move.
• When a player lands on a utilities spot, they do not roll again, but instead, use the first total of the dice.
• If a player lands on an available property and chooses not to purchase it, the property is auctioned off to the highest bidder.
• Auctions are held for individual houses or hotels if there is a shortage.  The winning bidder must pay a minimum of the price stated for houses and hotels for that property’s card.
• You can trade mortgaged property.  It just needs to be treated as still mortgaged.
• There are no side deals when a person is going bankrupt.  The person may only be in transaction with the player who is bankrupting them.
• Mortgaged properties at the end of the game are worth 1/2 the price.
