are you playing the monopoly that is out today with credit cards and unlimited cash, or the old style with free parking and luxury tax and water works??
yes the property goes for auction.. i hate that rule and generally we dont play with it to give the game more playability.
also we as players of monopoly made custom rules..
they are as follows...#1 rule.. if a player rolls a "snake eyes" [the double 1s] that player will receive one of every bill. if a player was in jail and rolled a "snake-eyes" it does not count, it only allows the player to get out of jail. an added rule that kept forever was if any player were to roll 3 snake eyes in a row, that player does not get sent to jail, and that player can continue to roll. the amount of snake-eyes rolled consecutively can be endless.. sorta.. but 3 doubles in a row is sent to jail, so all the consecutive snake-eyes only count as one double.
#2 - money involved will be replaced with the bank of the Game of Life by Parker Bros.. as it was more realistic... also had promisary notes...
#3 - $500 under Free Parking at all times. anyone who lands on it receives that $500 bill
#4 - players can own the "get out of jail free card if they can get "snake-eyes" in 7 times in 1 game. the card will remain in ownership of that player for 1 full month.
#5 - if a player lands on a property and wishes to not purchase it, the property does not go up for auction for other players to bid on it.
those were our custom rules. our games used to last for days.. loved it!! rule #5 was the best custom rule. well snake-eyes is the best rule..
- i always did two of every bill on snake eyes. also free parking gets the pot if you play that wayismith
- as in all the money you pay for houses/hotels goes into the pot and free parking can collect it allismith
- but I learned that way from a friend much later on, I didn't play it that way in the beginningismith
- the pot rule was a general laying rule that is outside of the custom rules..e-pill
- also any tax money and water works and electricity all went into the pot..e-pill
- so we made it so that since no one could really own water works and electric co.. that..e-pill
- the rail roads received double for all rents if anyone went and bought the railroads..e-pill
