Furd Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 I always lobbied to play real monopoly. Hardly anyone wanted to play it that way. It is an infinitely superior way to play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wolf Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Never knew this but don't think it would be a big change to the way the game is played. Think about it: when have you or your opponent ever passed on buying a property? I never pass and would venture to guess most people don't either.

BeeR Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 This is why auction FF drafting is way better too. Too bad some of you dumbasses still don't get it and continue with that ridiculous "hurry up and pick" thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too bad some of you dumbasses still don't get it and continue with that ridiculous "hurry up and pick" thing. I gotta agree with you there. You mean I can't get Chris Johnson because of an f'n roll of the dice? What the... Oh, and I never knew about that Monopoly rule either. I could see where that would make it more strategic.

So if competitors nos. one and two each own a yellow property and you land on the unowned yellow property, you would buy it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wolf Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 So if competitors nos. one and two each own a yellow property and you land on the unowned yellow property, you would buy it? Yes. I buy everything I land on. Thinking about this a little more, only way I wouldn't is if I did not have $$$...and THAT would allow the open bidding to affect outcome.

Allocation of resources is a big part of the game. That money is better used elsewhere Plus you want those guys to get in a bidding war and pay more that the property's face value.

OF COURSE you buy the unowned yellow property, PARTICULARLY if you think it is a property that would set off a bidding war. its value at that point in the game is almost certainly greater than the sticker price, either as property you try to develop (by acquiring the other two), or one you try to trade, or one you sit on to keep others from developing. do you think you're better off if your opponents pay that premium above face value to the bank, or to you?

Even the utilities and green properties, which have poor values for their prices? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think about it: when have you or your opponent ever passed on buying a property? I never pass and would venture to guess most people don't either. You might pass if you played by these rules, because you could jack up the price of a property you know your opponent wants by counter-bidding. The ultimate would be playing with an actual auctioneer....alrightParkPlaceherewe'vegotParkPlacestartatthreefiftythreefiftydoIhearfourI'vegotfourhowaboutfourfiftyfourfifityfourfifty I'VE GOT FOUR FIFTY!!!

tonorator Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 you never pass on buying a property, ever. you buy all u can to stop others from forming monopolies. the amount you put into a single property will never impact the outcome of a monopoly game. maybe you pass on the last green if they are already split and you have one of them and you are in a dominant position, but by then, the outcome of the game is set. i've always known about this rule and it has never impacted the outcome of a game ...

WaterMan Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 I had Monopoly on the Super Nintendo and this was how the game was played. If you passed on a property or couldn't afford it, the property went up for auction to the other players. It really made the game faster.

I was so hooked on that game. Super Nintendo was a sweet machine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
