How much money goes on Free Parking?

[Paton]

Wait, parking is free?

[Sousa]

I love that this horrible rule transcends national borders. That's one of the reasons I asked. Like, "Do Britons and Canucks and Aussies and whatever Zan is do this to themselves, too?"

Where did this idea even come from?

[FestiveJack]

Nothing goes on the free parking space. You put it in the middle.

C'mon Sousa this is like entry level stuff.

[GhostMachine]

Using house rules, I've played with some people that use a rule that if you land on Free Parking, you can pay $200 (or whatever the equivalent you get for passing Go is, depending on the version of the game. Like Monopoly Millionaire, for example) to move to whichever space you want. However, you can't pick a utility or railroad, but can pick Chance or Community Chest.

I prefer to play it with Free Parking just meaning nothing happens when you land on it.

You pocket free parking under the guise that it's a smart business move.

Also, EWB Monopoly, someone make it happen!

I'm guessing as a way to balance the game. That way it gives the younger kids a chance against the older kids who might be better negotiators.

It's a little out of date though--no more Archives. And "Hate Thread" and "Like Thread" are clearly government propaganda.

[Plubby]

If there were hate and like threads, that's where they'd be on the monopoly board.

[Sousa]

They would be very important threads hypothetically.

I do 500 and all taxes, and back with 500 when it's won.

[Roster Depth Sicko No. 2]

Everything. All money spent goes in the middle, first to land on Free Parking is basically the winner.

[Your Mom]

We always put the fines in there but I don't think I've ever played a game to the end

[Benji]

Money on free parking? What is this madness? Free parking is the only space in the game where nothing happens, damnit. You don't get money for parking in a free parking space :/

[Nick Adams]

I always played the house rule that Free Parking meant that you didn't have to pay rent on any property until you passed Free Parking again. No money, but man, was it a life saver.

[OctoberRaven]

Let's see, my family's rule was...

-All taxes

-All things taken from the player by community chest and chance.

-The jail fine

[Draevyn]

None but it's been forever since I've played an actual game of this so I could be remembering wrong.

Please tell me theres a "You have to pull an Ollie, collect $10 from every player" card

Nothing goes on free parking and your fucking house rules are the reason monopoly sucks. If you play by the actual rules, the game lasts an appropriate amount of time. Artificially increasing the length of the game is why I hate it.

Its taken over a month, but we finally got there.
