When the rules you made up as a kid dont count on console lol.
Exactly, I played a lot of Monopoly when I was 11-14 years old and we use 7 of these rules lol
Most (not all) video versions allow for "house rules", but as this video illustrates...why would you want to? 🤣
Sad Mr. Pennybags noises
Wtf yes. I hated the rules that are made up
Haha you can't cheat the console :)
I refuse to play with people who put $$ on Free Parking. The same people who complain about the game's length are the one's who do this.
Yes. Money in Free Parking just lengthens the game unnecessarily.
I play with 6-8 players with house rules yet it lasts less than an hour, maybe because former Monopoly champions are fast?
Yeah it makes the game super imbalanced.
The only reason I learned about free parking collecting all the tax we put in the middle of the board earlier was at school where people were doing that. But that’s actually really stupid whoever made that so that’s why I refuse to play monopoly with people that do the free parking thing
It’s just a house rule. It’s not however part of the original monopoly rules.
My only house rule is when there’s an auction, you have to go up by $10 at least
Cuz its so annoying when people just keep going up by $1 and it takes ages
Lets say you land on States and you dont wanna buy it. The price is 140 dollars and what I do at home is I start the auction at that exact price and go up by 10 dollars. Its doesnt waste as much time as what other people do.
@@chairmanxina2338 personally, I go half price and go up. So take $140 states, starts at 70. My players can do ones, and sometimes do, but they’re too bored to bother with $1 increments most of the time, so we’ll have $100 properties selling for $1000...
Which is why I buy out all the $1 a d $5 notes in the game so only I can do thay
@Caleb N. hahahahaa, the players who bought properties for 10x listed price went bankrupt fast enough I was okay with the time wasted, actually.
same bro
If you play the games iPad version for example you don't have to worry about the rules as you can't cheat
Unless you are all the players
What you can do is immediately offer them cash for the computers property they just bought same value or 10 dollars more, they will sell then do that with every monopoly around the board never trade with them so they dont get monopolies and bleed them dry
thank you! Monopoly is much more palatable when played correctly.
+Plumpy Thimble You're Welcome! I know it makes so much of a difference!
Still not good enough to warrant playing over any modern games, though.
So true, I fall in love with this game after playing by the rules when I join a competition
@Nic777 all know these rules
The rule where you auction it off is so dumb it defeats the purpose of the game
11) Wrong. That only happens if the Bank is the creditor; if the creditor is another player that player immediately receives all that the bankrupt player has of value except Houses and Hotels (which are sold for the usual half price, and the creditor also receives this cash).
That’s true! I read the entire Monopoly rule book and it does mention that.
Yes, and this is also far more likely to happen. I've never seen the bank bankrupt anyone ever. I'm not even sure what the max you could owe on a single turn is. Technically it would be $200 for income tax but no sane person would pay $200 instead of 10% if you are about to be bankrupt. So maybe $75 for the luxury tax, unless there is a community chest card I'm forgettng.
@@hueysharapova7175 firstly, Super Tax is £100, not £75. Secondly, in the official rules there's no variation on Income Tax - you land there, you pay £200. The "percentage" thing is a cheat "rule" just like Free Parking jackpot and all the rest.
Thirdly, there are loads of cards that impose money penalties that could send a player bankrupt if they have little or nothing left to mortgage.
@@keirrobinson4156 Did you see me type a £? Monopopy is from America, you cockney fuck.
@@keirrobinson4156 The 10% is not a "cheat" it just depends on what year you bought the game. Straight $200 might be the current rule but there is an entire 72 year period where that was not the case. So its not at all similar to the free parking house rule.
Over a year old and still awesome. This just made Monopoly scarier and more complecated. THANK YOU SO MUCH. :3
Thank 'You' So Much. You're Awesome ;)
It actually makes it a lot easier and faster
I'm pretty sure the properties are only auctioned off if the player goes bankrupt to the bank.
If a player is the reason for bankruptcy, then that player receives the properties
Ausar0 Simply not true
Hi Ausar0! What you said is true. Properties can also be auctioned, if a player lands on an unowned property and does not wish to purchase it.
schuelermine yes it is lol
@@BoardGameSanctuary * Must be auctioned, not can be auctioned
But if course, they have to pay the 10% on all the mortgaged properties. So caveat emptor!
If a player purchases a mortgaged property, they have the option of leaving it mortgaged, but must pay 10% of the board price, as was stated. However, when the player later unmortgages the property, they must again pay the 10% fee.
A bigger rule often overlooked is that the supply of houses and hotels are limited to 32 and 12, respectively, and the cost of a hotel is $50, $100, $150 or $200 plus four houses, not just $250, $500, $750, or $1000. If the houses aren’t available because they’re on other properties, hotels cannot be built. Putting four houses on each property in the two cheapest color groups and at least eight houses on any other color group or groups uses up 28 houses, and not even the most expensive color group can be developed up to the critical three-house-per-property level. If you own the three cheapest color groups and your last opponent owns the most expensive five (plus the railroads and utilities), you’re still the most likely to win the game, but only if you soak up (or monopolize) the houses.
why i am using all rules correctly and our game last 3-4 hours each?!
A lot of time is wasted because people are shit at maths. People who move their piece, by counting every single square, Instead of just moving it straight to the final square waste a lot of time. Also if people are dumb and can’t calculate change / add up quickly to buy properties / give change, any exchanged of money with other players or the bank, it slows down game A LOT.
Time should be spent making trades, not trying to do maths
@@camerongray7767 I just memorize the amount of squares. For example I know that one side of the board is 10 squares long and use that knowledge to make the game faster.
@@blackscreen1920 yeah, same. Railroads are always halfway, so five. It helps me expedite if I can ever get my calculations to those numbers.
In our circle we play by the printed rules with one exception: A player landing on an unowned property cannot simply buy it at the printed price; it immediately goes up for auction. The first thing this does is eliminate the advantage for players rolling the dice and initially moving before others. More importantly, through auctions a true open marketplace price is paid for properties, as was intended before the Quakers took over the game. Players can abstain from bidding on properties in which they have no interest, and bid aggressively on properties that suit their strategic plans.
One might think that many auctions lengthen the time of the game. Actually, they shorten the playing time, since players more quickly assemble monopolies. Those who argue that improving the skill factor ignores the fact that luck is a part of life, should realize that the Dice, Chance and Community Chest remain considerable luck factors. If a game of pure chance rather than skill is preferred, then play Bingo. Meanwhile, we greatly enjoy the above described version in which the factor of skill is enhanced.
Eloquently said. Loved reading your thoughts. :)
Thanks. I should have added that with auctions the winning bids for properties tend to be for more than the printed prices; often considerably more. Always buying unowned properties through auctions usually reduces the total amount of money in players' accounts, leading to quicker bankruptcies and further shortening game times.
It would be great if the game publisher included our method as a suggested alternative. If people try it and like it, it may eventually become the standard. Perhaps you would like to test this alternative with your crowd and report on how well it is received.
Curt Renz but thats not monopoly.
justalearnerofanything I think if only one person is interested they would get it for their bid. In other words if bidding started at $10, and they were the only bidder, they would pay $10 for it. Another note, if you turn down the option to buy you can still bid in the auction.
Great idea! Definitely making this change in my house going forward.
it's crazy when realizing a lot of regions are having these same wrong rules even before the internet era
yes. A lot of house rules and people just teaching each other the game verbally.
All of the vg versions I've played have it wrong then. I've never had a bankrupt players property go up for auction, it's always gone to the player (or bank) who caused the bankruptcy. I don't remember if the vg versions used the $10 minimum bid rule, but everything else is how I've played unless special rules were decided upon at the beginning.
Guess I was right about the free parking
Its a custom house rule
In regard to the last rule I thought when a player was bankrupt all their assets went to the player that they owe the money to it would only go to the bank if the thing that was causing the bankruptcy is a result of the bank
Yes that is true if you read the rules. The video is wrong about that particular rule.
Classic board game that keeps families bonding strong! Thanks for the tips. I had no clue. 🤙🏻 happy new year.
bonding strong? in my family always ends fighting
i like how u explain things,ur video doesnt bored like the other
Thank you so much. Appreciate your comment. :)
Another rule people seem to not follow, Houses and Hotels are limited, not unlimited. Once all the houses and hotels are sold, that’s it. No using legos or pieces of paper to make more houses, If you want to build a house or hotel but there are no more left, you have to wait until another player sells their houses or hotels back to the bank.
or just trade for their streets :)
rule 11 is only if you go bankrupt to the bank. If you bankrupt to a player all houses/hotels are sold and then the player gains all property and money. The previous mortgage rule applies and must be paid when acquired.
I actually didn't know you could build houses or hotels on any turn, but I use it as a rule because otherwise ppl just interrupt everyone else's turn constantly to buy a singular house, and it drives me crazy. I also use Free Parking, but ik it's not an official rule. I also didn't know for the longest time that a property went up for auction if the person who landed on it doesn't want it/can't buy it. Everything else was basically common sense to me.
0:18 but you rolled a two!
Well spotted
Just like that money, this went above my head 😂
People: Monopoly takes so LOOOOONG!
Those same people: oh yay free parking! Money!
Very counterintuitive indeed.
@@blackscreen1920 and that’s why I don’t complain about it.
I joke about it, but not complain.
Let's make sports longer by having OT.
That is like so true.
Did anyone notice at the part were there talking about bidding he rolled a 2 then moved 3
haha I never noticed that :D
i thought i hear it wrong
Yeah I did and commented the very same, oops guess you beat me to it by a year
@@BoardGameSanctuary CHEATER!!!
on rule 5 it is important that people know you can have 2 houses on one property and 1 on the other two, you just can't have 3 unless the other two have 2, so on and so forth.
Sean Clement huh can you explain that a little more ?
@@XxLaMaravish13xX if you build 1 house on all, then add 1 house on a different one you can keep it that way you just can't add to that same space anymore in till you even it out by buying a house on the others
XxLaMaravish13xX lets say you own all yellow streets
You want to build 3 houses
You can’t build them all on one street
You have to distribute them
Once you have 1 house on each property then you can build two houses on each
And once you have 2 houses on each then you can build 3 and so on
Yes. I can’t believe this confuses people so much lol
Must build as evenly as possible, simple
I agree with 9 out of the 11 rules. But there are two rules I don't agree with. The rules I disagree with are as follows:
1) I believe that you should wait your turn before buying any houses or initiating any trade offers. Because if you decide to buy houses or start trade negotiations with other players it could cause chaos and confusion as to what's what. Waiting until it's your turn establishes better organization, less confusion and keeps everything in its proper order.
2) The other rule I disagree with is when someone goes bankrupt. I believe that all of the property of the bankrupt victim should go to the person who's property they landed on; but it should not go up for auction.
@Caleb N. ...If you build out of turn then it becomes like a free for all. Or like playing a game of spoons. If I say I want to put 6 houses on my property but there's only 8 houses left but another player wants to put another 6 houses then it's a matter of who calls it first. Then that's how arguments get started and blood starts to boil. One person can say, I called it first while the other argues the same.Waiting until it's your turn eliminates all of that.
The same thing with trading properties. Someone could be in the middle of exchanging money and suddenly in the middle that exchange a trade is being made. By the time the exchange of money is made the two who exchanged the money are left confused as to what the heck just happened with the other players. One of the players who were in the middle of the money exchange could become upset because they were about to attempt to make a trade but was unable to because they were preoccupied with the money exchange. He would argue, I wasn't given a chance to counter offer. Now the trade was made all other offers are off the table.
I just like to keep things done in an orderly fashion to prevent confusion and chaos.
11 is just half right. the properties only go up for action if the player goes bankrupt to the bank itself
It’s in the printed rules that the property must go up for auction when landed on.
@@KuhTuhKuh I know, I was talking about rule 11 specifically.
Also 2 I never did that. I thought only the player who landed decided whether or not they bought it. And if they didn’t just went to the next player to roll
The property has to go up for auction if the landing player doesn't buy it. A good strategy here is that the landing player can use this tactic to buy the property at a much lower price!
I pretty like the last scene, BTW thanks!
What happens when a player cannot afford rent to another player, but they own properties? Must they first sell all their houses, then mortgage all their properties, and if they still cannot afford rent, they must forfeit to the other player their properties that recently mortgaged? Or, can they just give up their properties to the other player without mortgaging them, along with all their cash? (Do they even also get the insufficient cash from a bankrupt player or does it go back to the bank?)
What annoys me the most is that my dad says these rules are for vintage monopoly. No the fuck there not dad. He thinks putting money on the center of the board and who ever lands in free parking gets it.
I’ve always been really into the rules of monopoly and agreed/enforced them when playing...
only exception to the rules I’ll allow (as long as other players agree) is the private cash/loan stuff.
If the game is getting down to 2 people and I’m winning, I like trying to even out the score on the board with my opponent to keep the game going.
No fun killing someone at monopoly quickly just from bad luck with the die lol
What do you mean by mortgaging property? What is mortgage and how do I mortgage and who do I mortgage to (the bank or any player or my choice)? I google a lot. I cant find any answers. Please help.
WHen you say for #2 that its not for sale, does that mean you can buy it at the labeled price on your turn at any time or you have to land on it again to purchase it?
Xavize 11 It goes up for auction straight away. Ppl bid for it including the landing player. Whoever bids highest gets it. The property must be sold.
Unless no one wants to buy it, in that case the thing is left unsold
i once played a game against someone who had a house rule that you could only buy one house at a time! This was very annoying since i had enough money to put 3 houses on each one.
Let's also not forget that players cannot build houses or hotels if there are none left at the bank. If multiple players wish to purchase the last houses or hotels at the same time, they are auctioned.
This is an intentional strategy some players use. Build their properties up to 4 houses and stop so that the house supply is empty.
@Caleb N. yes good point!
What if I get a card that says " Advance to go collect $200" and I get my $200, and then on my next turn I actually PASS go? Do I collect $200.
You just get $200 once for advancing to go. Hope that helps :D
If you pass go, and then land on community chest or chance, then you get the other $200 if the card tells you to advance to go.
@@erikeisner1288 then yes you get 200
When you buy hotels will 1 hotel cover all same color properties or do you need a hotel on every single color?
Meaning, all the same color set had maxed houses. So I purchase one hotel. Will that hotel then cover all the same color set properties? Or do I need to purchase more hotels?
That hotel only covers the property you place it on. So basically you trade 4 green houses off the property for one red hotel. The other properties keep their green houses. It is good to upgrade your most commonly visited property to a red hotel. Eg in the red property set, Trafalgar Square would be the best one to upgrade.
You can't buy a hotel on a property after someone rolls to land there but before they actually move or pay you rent at the going rate, though, can you?
Another way to make the game super fast is to only play until 1 is bankrupt. If you feel that people are going to go bankrupt in 20 minutes, then maybe up the 1 to smth else.
There’s house rules you know and it’s an official game mode on Switch Monopoly.
My Variation: Trading is disabled. Instead, there's two new actions, "Takeover" and "Buyout".
"Takeover": Players CAN gain other players properties without trading, even with buildings and a complete set. To do so, pay the bank the listed price plus the current rent Times two(so it’s like this:
(Current rent you paid to the original owner+Listed Price) X2 to the bank) to break their set, steal their property with the buildings they have, and there you have it, you stole a huge property from them. Now they can’t build any houses and you may be able to charge a huge rent(too bad you don’t have a full set, if that’s the one that completes a set then lucky you, build away!)! It’s pricey, so think twice before doing so! Remember to do it before your opponent’s(that you have paid rent to) turn comes up again, or you lose the chance to do a Takeover.
Example: I have the Boardwalk property(listed price is $400) and you just landed on it. You have to first pay the rent to me(E.G. Boardwalk rent with no houses/hotels is $50), then, before my turn comes up, pay the rent plus the listed price then Double them. So the Price is like this if you're attempting to Takeover my Boardwalk as an example(with no buildings):
(50 for the rent+400 for the listed price)X2=$900
Pay that amount to the Bank before the targeted player's turn and you can Takeover the property from another player, and that property is all yours(The targeted player may get it back if they have the funds, but they must follow the rules I mentioned before attempting the Takeover). Oh, by the way, this works even on a complete set. You can even keep all the houses AND/OR hotels, thus disabling the targeted player's ability to build houses or Hotels!
"Buyout": The auction will start at 10% of the listed price. Anyone can bid, including the player who started it. Increments cannot be over $25 every bid. The maximum bid is twice the value of the listed price. However, if a player bids that Value, the Auction immediately ends and that player will immediately pay that price and get the Property.
Honestly i don't care how people play the game as long they are having fun and good video
I love the end
If you mortgage a property say for example £50, do you get that £50 every time you pass around the board, or is it just the first time when you want to mortgage the property?
Hi Jordan! If you mortgage a property, you are essentially handing temporary ownership of your property to the bank in exchange for cash in hand to obviously pay off your debts. Once you mortgage your property you gain cash from the bank equal to the value written on the back of your title deed card. You then flip over your title deed card to show that it has been mortgaged.
When your property has been mortgaged, you (the owner of the property) can't claim any rent from that space (from other players landing on it) until you have paid the mortgage off back to the bank + 10%.
In answer to your question above, you only get the £50 'once', when you mortgage the property.
Board Game Sanctuary Ah I thought as much, I just wanted to make sure. Thanks for replying! 😊
1. Parking coupled with tax money is fun, but makes the game longer. It should be discussed at the beginning.
2. Bankruptcy due to one player provides the player with all the other's properties (after they sold the houses and mortgaged the properties)
Is the bankrupt player forced to mortgage their properties before forfeiting them to the other player, or can they give them over unmortgaged? Also, do you give the other player all of your cash?
If I want to hand over a property of mine to another player would I need to sell all the houses or hotels from that propert AND the houses of the other properties of that color too?
Yes
Can you buy one property at a time or does it have to be multiples of however many properties you have so if you have three properties you must buy three houses at once or can you buy one house at a time for all three properties?
one at a time is ok.. they must be set evenly..
ACTUALLY if a player owes a player money and they cant affored rent or the money they owe them all of their assets is in the renters hands
Hi, let say player 1 have 2 blue color card, and player 2 have 1 blue color card (assume total blue color card are 3pcs only), how could them going to build a house? Is it allow to build a house? Please advise.
you could trade some money for the blue card
No
You have to own the whole colour set to build house
So they have to trade
@@gmh2374 tharm was she said
3:08 You say "..pay the rest of the mortgage off later." You have to actually pay the 10% interest AGAIN on top of that.
Its not aloud to build amy houses or hotels when you put one street on mortgage. But ots okej to let the houses or hotel that was already build on other 2 streets to be untouched. I dont have to sell them, before using desparate opertiunity of mortgage, right?
You cannot mortgage stuff if you have houses remaining on the other streets of a set.
If they go broke because of you their properties dont get auctioned and you take all their stuff
The Properties do actually go up for Auction if they go bankrupt by the bank. (If you can’t afford a Community Chest or Chance card Fine or Fee, Taxes, or Bail.)
Wait what? I swear when you go bankrupt all your properties go to whoever forced you into bankruptcy. (And if they can't afford the interest on your mortgages, they go bankrupt too!)
what is 10% of utilities like electric company and water works I hear that in the online monopoly board game it's 83 but I'm not sure
Utilities are Water Works and Electric Company. :)
@@BoardGameSanctuary yeah but when getting taxed by them I did the 10 percent of everything since I have everything unmortaged so would 1p percent be 83 since that's how it is in the video game
In a 3 player match, player B lands on a property but does not one to buy it, do does player A. But player C. wants to buy the property
What will happen before and during auction if 2 of the players dont want to buy the property but 1 of the players want to?
he can buy it for how much the bid for
im suprised this wasn't mentioned but rule 12. If a player is in Jail, they can STILL collect rent from other players.
yes that is correct!
I’m a newcomer to Monopoly and while playing my first game I ran low on $. I know mortgaging my property is an option but I just do not understand for the life of me how it works. Can someone explain this to me as if I’m a small child? Lol
When you mortgage a property... you can not collect any rent on it, or build houses/hotels on that colour group.
In order to mortgage a property nothing can be built on that colour group at all (so no property of that group even if it’s not the one your mortgaging can have a house or hotel on it). & You place it face down so it is known that it’s mortgaged.
In order to get un mortgage it you have to pay 10% interest ...so if you mortgaged it and got $200 you have to pay $220.
If you sell it or trade it whomever buys it ...Has to pay off at least the 10% interest right away to the bank.. or the whole amount if they want it un mortgaged.
When trading mortgaged property will the seller get money ? Whether the player has to pay to the seller the agreed price and also mortgage value to bank?
You're actually wrong about the last one. It is true that a bankrupted player's properties are auctioned if they owe the bank money, but when they are in debt to another player, said player collects all of their properties, as well as any get-out-of-jail-free cards they may have. The player must then unmortgage any of the new properties or just pay the interest like you said earlier in the video.
My daughters killing me 🥴 She is in New Jersey and I’m in Cincinnati, we have an every Sunday afternoon game...oh I’ve got to go, no mercy rule for her today 😉
can someone please explain to me the reason for mortgaging a house in the game? you dont get money off of it so why do it?
Do you mean mortgaging a property?
You can mortgage a property by flipping over its title deed to the opposite side, providing you with some instant cash to spend. However a mortgaged property will limit the rent that you earn as well as having to pay an extra 10% on the mortgage when you want to pay it off.
Players can sell houses back to the bank for ash as well. :) I hope that helps!
Wow. Thanks!
Me as a kid chilling with 4 hotels on old Kent road
What about having mines in the game and mine them.like gold and silver and copper, etc.
And there should be a chance card for investing in bitcoin on the ground floor.
The rules also have a situation not accounted for:
The chairman of the board chance card, which makes you give 50 to every player.
If you some how don't have enough, you would technically go bankrupt to everyone at once.
To mitigate this, give the money in player order. Starting with the player to your left?
I would assume so. I think that's worse then going bankrupt trying to get out of jail.
@@garrysmith1029 since when was jail the penalty for not being able to pay chairman?

I played one version of monopoly where everyone received two random properties card at the first.
Lol wut
Hi ik im late just wanted to know when 2 players bids if the properties cost lets say 100dollars player 1 bid 100 then player 2 bid 150 can play 2 surrender during this bid even if he has more money or he should continue like can a player surrender or give up/fold during a bid i hope this get answered thanks
Player two officially made the last bid and cannot surrender it. If no one goes higher than player two then player two must buy the property at the bidded price.
Thanks for the fast response! So if player 1 dont want to go higher than player 2 he can fold right?
Just wanted to make sure its in the board game not only on pc the fold thing
@@adamgolden1108 Yes! :)
Ty so much and nice video👍
How come some of these points contradict the actual game rules?
Auction rule is stupid imo (2), I know it's official but never liked it. Pretty sure property goes to player who makes the other player bankrupt unless they get bankrupt from a non player event (11). Adding money to free parking is fun but I'm fine playing without too. I like how it can dramatically turn the tables (3)
Thing with giving players money when landing on free parking makes the game aloot longer, but each to their own ig
Auction rule is there to reduce the time taken, because more likely the price of the property will be higher for other ppl than what is listed there.
Can somebody explain i dont understand when you mortgage a property what 10 percent are u paying for when u r trying to flip it?
If you choose to mortgage one of your properties (which means borrow money from the bank by giving the bank temporary ownership of your property). To unmortgage it, meaning to pay off your property loan, youll need to pay 10% interest ontop of the borrowed amount. This total is often already listed on the back of the property card.
Think of the 10% as interest earnt by the bank for letting you borrow their money. I hope this helps :)
It’s 2 AM. Why am I watching this.
The only ones I do are buying property right away and nothing on free parking
Can you only buy houses when you own all the same set colour streets?
Yes. You must own all of the properties of the same colour set first before buying houses.
thx m8
I've never played a game of monopoly where we did auctions on anything
One rule change I do is not to bother with the one notes. Round things to the nearest 5.
That's what we did. We used the ones for $1000's.
Lol my family never paid for the property owned or not
You forgot to name one rule that sas, if a player buys a mortgage street from another player he dont have to close the mortgage right away, he can pay 10 % and then wait untill he have enought money to pay mortgage but then he have to pay 10% again when then loan is closed. So it become lite double paymant.
He mentioned it at 2:55
Rule 11 Correction --> This only happens if you owe the bank. If you are bankrupt due to owing a player rent, you give all your assets of value (properties, mortgaged properties, cash, get out of free cards) to the owed player.
I still don't get how you could owe rent if you still have properties. Aren't you supposed to mortgage everything to pay up and only then you're bankrupt and lose?
@@pacodurazo Your understanding is correct. You have to mortgage as manay properties and/or sell off as many houses/hotels to pay off the debt. In the case where you have 100% liquidated all your assets BUT still dont have enough money to pay off the debt, you are considered bankrupt and are out of the game. If you are out of the game, if the debt was owed to the bank, the bank auctions all your assets one by one to the remaining players starting at $10. If the Debt is owed to a player (Bob), Bob receives all properties from the bankrupt player and must immediately pay 10% of the value of each receiving mortgaged property. There are other rules concerning passing of properties (Bob may choose to keep the properties mortaged or not ect ect), but you can find the full rules online if interested.
How many houses can I buy per turn?
so much your budget allows
Can i ask you about rules when a player get bankrupt because he hit a land and must pay 11M to the owned property but doesn't have enough money. What happen with the owned property? Is he get all the property owned from the bankruptcy player? But what happen when he already sell all the property and still don't have enough money to pay the owner? Let say all the property just worth 5M. What happen with the rest of 6M that the owner must gain? Is the bank give to the owner the rest? I'm confused
Hi Lim! If a player lands on an opponent's property but can't pay the full amount of rent, they give the owner of that property as much of their money as possible, then sell houses / hotels (Back to the bank for cash for 50% of its original purchase price) AND/OR mortgage any properties they own to fulfill the rest of the rent owed.
If money owed to another player causes the active player to go bankrupt then they turn their assets over to the owed player.
If the money is owed to the bank, then all assets are given to the bank except for properties (not buildings) which are auctioned off to the players remaining in the game.
In your example above, the player would have to hand over all assets to the owed player and retire from the game. Hope that helps. :D
Board Game Sanctuary thks for your information..
If your property bankrupted a player this way, how can you prevent that player from selling all his properties to his friends for $1 first (besides beating the crap out of him)?
Do you have to be on a property in order to build a house?
Lucas Liljekvist Nope. You can build whenever you want, even if you’re in jail
Can I build only one house and leave the other properties undeveloped?
Yes you can .
But then you have to put your next 2 houses on the empty ones. Then you have to put your next 3 on the ones you have 1 on. For example, you want 7 houses. You own 3 reds. You have to put two on each, and then your seventh house can be put on any property.
Let's say a player lands on a property but don't have enough money to pay the owner for the hotel and all the player's property have been mortgage. Does they player give the owner all their money and their mortgage property? Or just the money and the mortgage property is up for auction by the bank?
The player gives the owner all their money and their mortgaged (and remains mortgaged) property.
I only played the rule ‘You can build houses and hotels even if it’s someone else’s turn wrong. I used To play it the Right way, till My dad said: it’s not fair if u build houses after u throw the dices. Then You are sure u survived and then there are No Risks for losing the money You build Your houses with.
you can only build houses Before someone rolls.. if someone had dice in hand and you say you want to buy houses before they roll, you get to buy them.. thats the whole purpose of the game, you should wait for someone to be around 1 roll away from your property then build..
What the differences between "Advance to the NEAREST railroad" and "Advance to the NEXT railroad"
Nothing, because you can only go forward and thus the nearest is the one next in line.
@@MrJoeyWheeler But why i have two of these card on my Monopoly?
@@Ariegunara35 Oh Im not sure why you have both wordings, but it usually means go to the next station ahead. I don't think you can ever go backwards in Monopoly.
@@BoardGameSanctuary Thank you!
What font is at 0:03?
Never mind! It’s ar cena
What’s the Boardwalk equivalent on the UK monopoly you have?
It is Mayfair
Almost every property has a completely different name from US to UK, only Park Place / Park Lane (The other blue property along side Boardwalk / Mayfair.) have similar names on both boards.
Free parking was originally empty
It all makes sense, but I just don’t get the part about being able to put up buildings, EVEN if it isn’t your turn. Say there are 3 players. One of them takes down his houses and the other two players want them. How do you decide who gets to build them first? Is it just whoever says “I want it” first? Does it just turn into a shouting match lol?
Sean60 D Pretty much whoever says they want it first gets it, or you can decicde in your own way (rock, paper, scissors, flip a coin, etc)
The official rulebook addresses this situation. The houses get auctioned off.
What about when you downgrade a hotel for 4 houses and there are only 4 houses left, but another player wants them at that moment (perhaps just to mess up your plans)?
I’m surprised that free parking thing was actually a popular mistake. I mean why? There’s never any mention of free parking gets money in the instructions. I always thought free parking was just a useless square and I was right :/
Number 3 is not more of a rule more a personal choice like how I play it is every time you land on a tax square or have to pay money via community chest or chance card you put it on the free parking square then next player to land on free parking gets all the money its something to add excitement to the game I know its not a rule but yea
Also makes the game longer: money goes back into people’s hands rather than the bank.
when I played monopoly on my xbox360 when a player is bankrupt all there properties to to me so is this true
Reuven Heffernan if someone lands on YOUR space and goes bankrupt, yes they do give you everything they have. If a person lets say lands on income tax and cant afford it, and goes bankrupt, then their property goes up for auction
Thanks g
11 was half right. the properties go up for auction if a player goes bankrupt to a non player event
Where’s the “land on go earns you $400 instead of $200”?
I think that might be in a different version of monopoly!
@@BoardGameSanctuary no, it’s a popular house rule
@@yoshiwoollyworld oh you know what I have never heard of that one!
How are you gonna be bankrupt when you have properties left?.
How can you action his properties if he bankrupt
You have property, but they're mortgaged. If they're all mortgaged, and you run out of money, you're done.
I'm confused about the mortgage part, what does that mean and do?
It is my understanding that a player may mortgage (get money from the bank) a property in exchange for three things: 1) you can't collect rent from the mortgaged property 2)you may not develop the property or any other property of the same color set and 3) when you pay back the loan you have to pay the amount the bank loaned you (on the back of the card) PLUS 10% of the loan.
Example, for a property for which you received $120 you have to pay back the $120 + $12 for a total of $112 back to the bank.
If a player trades a mortgaged property to another player than the player receiving the mortgaged property must pay the mortgage PLUS the 10% to the bank. The video states that the 10% must be paid as soon as the deal is made and the mortgage can be paid in the next several turns. I would imagine the player would not be able to collect rent until it is all paid back to the bank.
pargacastorena 132...
Still confused...
Mortgaging your property is a way to get money to pay off your debts. When you mortgage a property, the bank gives you half the value of the property (for example if the property is listed for sale at $120, the bank will give you $60, no matter how much you actually paid for it.) You then flip the card over and if another player lands on the mortgaged property, they do not owe you any money. You also have to sell all the houses on that property before you can mortgage it (which also means you can not have more than 1 house on the other 1 or 2 properties in the set since a property can’t have 2 houses on it when 1 property in the set has 0 houses). When you’re ready to pay off the mortgage (in order to flip the card back up, restart building on it, and restart collecting rent when people land on it), you owe what the bank gave you plus 10% of what the bank gave you.
@@pargacastorena so if i want to buy a mortgage property from one player how much i have to pay to that player like how much i have to pay to the player who owns that mortgage property i know i have to give 10% interest to bank but how much i have to pay to that player??
I HATE the doing 1 lap before buying anything. I've played with that rule twice and BOTH times I've landed on the go to jail square and just instantly lost the game because most people had 3-5 properties by the time I finished my lap and never managed to catch up
It's not an official rule.
@@erikeisner1288 of course it's not. It's a stupid idea that has no point
How did someone even come up with an idea like this? It just wastes time and allows for situations like the one you described.
I have no idea. I can't even imagine why someone would think that would be a good idea
Auctions here starts at $10 and players can bid as little as $1.
00:00:05 - 00:00:06 Remember you have to go around the board once before you can buy anything @boardgamesancutary
