more falafel please: forums poster

your friend sk posted:

the rules say explicitly that there have to be houses in the stock to buy them (no replacement pieces). so if you put four houses on all of your properties, you can prevent players from buying anything other than hotels. since you have to keep properties evenly spaced on a group it means you'd have to buy three hotels immediately which is too expensive to manage

sorry to necro but the post goldmine led me here

its worse than that, you can't buy a hotel unless you have 4 houses on each property in a completed color group (so you need to have built 8-12 houses before you can build your first hotel)

sorry it's jacked up it's ocr copy paste from the pdf posted:

HOTELS: When a player has four houses on each property of a
complete color-group, hdshe may buy a hotel from the Bank and erect
it on any property of the color-group. Hdshe returns the four houses
from that property to the Bank and pays the price for the hotel as shown
on the Ttle Deed card. Only one hotel may be erected on any one
property

This is how I always played it.

My wife and I actually came up with a rules tweak that makes Monopoly almost enjoyable. You can build on any property without needing a monopoly. Building costs the price on the card to the bank, then you have to throw 6 or lower on the dice to get the upgrade. If you throw 7 or higher, you lose the money and try again.

We were curious what the other game was that the Shaker nuns made to demonstrate how communal property was a better idea, and came up with these rules. It's neat, you really don't know who's going to win until the end, and it's less of a slog.

There are still better games, though. We've been playing Gin Rummy a lot.

TBF a glass eating contest is a more fun game than Monopoly.
