![]() ![]() Speaking of houses, remember, if you have to take them down because you're losing, you only get half price for them. Otherwise, if I leave you with all that money and a monopoly you can build on, I might as well give up and go home. Of course I also need some cash in that deal, too, because a monopoly's not worth much unless I can build on it, right? And if I can see you've got a big stack of cash, and not much property, then it only makes sense that you should give me some of that cash. And I'm open to just about anything, so long as I get another monopoly. That's when the game gets really fun, when people start wheeling and dealing. And I won't make a deal unless I get another monopoly out of it. You know what I like best? I like when I've got a pretty low-rent monopoly, maybe the light blues or even the railroads, and I've also got a piece of every other color group on the board, so nobody can make a deal without coming through me. Like I said, Monopoly's all about making deals. If that happens I promise I'll give you a five, and you can keep the change. We can just agree that every dollar amount gets rounded up or down to the nearest five, O.K.? I've played that way for years and it works fine, except for when somebody lands on Mediterranean without any houses and the rent's only two bucks. Listen, while we're talking, why don't you go ahead and count out the money? It's two five hundreds, two one hundreds, five fifties, six twenties, five tens, five fives and five ones, except instead of five ones I just use another five, so that's six fives. It's about real estate, and commerce, and it's about knowing how to make deals. I mean, Monopoly is not a dinner party, and it's not a game of Twister. We play it straight, strictly according to the real rules, or the way the rules used to be, back when rules meant something. ![]() It's going to publish the most popular "House rules" that people use, right there in the rulebook. Hasbro says it's going to allow people to play by their own rules from now on. OK, now, before we start playing, we should get one thing out of the way. ![]()
