Monopoly Rules

[sciencewhiz]

Lets say you have a monopoly (like all the orange cards) and have 1 mortgaged. If someone lands on one of the unmortgaged properties, do they pay you double the rent on that property like if all the properties were unmortgaged, or do you only pay the printed rent since one of the properties is mortgaged and technically belongs to the bank?

I dunno.. Is there an online monopoly? Maybe playing against ATers would be fun..

I don't think you would have to pay double rent. Since the property is mortgaged, you no longer have a monopoly. In the history of me playing monopoly, I've never mortgaged a property.

I'd agree with the above post. You've mortgaged that puppy, so the uncle moneybags owns it until you pay him his interest

I'm inclined to agree with the 2 above posts. Until it's unhocked, no double rent for you.

Double rent for other properties owned in the group still applies if the monopoly of the color is owned.

As the rules state:
"The player who mortgages property retains possession of it and no other player may secure it by lifting the mortgage from the Bank."

Since the property, even if mortgaged, is still owned by the owner, not the Bank, then the double rent still applies for the monoply is still in force.

I had to double check the Monoply rules on line. It depends on which rules that you have agreed to play with, but the common one it that you do have to play the double rent.




<< It is an advantage to hold all the Title Deeds in a color-group (i.e.: Boardwalk and Park Place, - or Connecticut, Vermont and Oriental Avenues) because the owner may then charge double rent for unimproved properties in that color-group. This rule applies to unmortgaged properties even if another property in that color-group is mortgaged. >>

I thought this was another Microsoft-bashing thread.

Yeah, I?d play with the rent doubled rule. It?s more ?realistic.? For example, my landlord could double my rent next year, but I?d have no idea whether he has a mortgage out on his property either way.

Just be the banker..

On an unrelated note, I have never lost a game of monopoly.
