A Depot DOUBLES rent on whichever Railroad it is placed on. There are 4 Depots, each one costing $100. In Monopoly: The Mega Edition, 2 new buildings were added: Depots and Skyscrapers. No property can be sold or traded with buildings on it these must be sold back to The Bank for half of what it cost to erect them. This does result in losing profit as you can sell houses/hotels for only half their original cost. If you owe someone money and you can not raise it by mortgaging and handing over cash, you can sell your houses and/or hotels.

This normally results in bankruptcy but not all the time. For example, if someone has built hotels on Mayfair\Boardwalk and you land on it, you must pay that person £\$2000. The more houses, the higher the rent rises. This is the most evident and easiest way to win Monopoly (be the richest player). The purpose of houses and hotels is to increase the rent of a property. Only streets allowed you to build housesįor example, it costs £\$2000 to build hotels on both Dark Blue properties (Park Lane\Park Place and Mayfair\Boardwalk) You can NOT build on mortgaged properties or build at all if one property in the set is mortgaged. You must build evenly: you're not allowed to build up or break down just 1 property.įor example: you cannot build two houses on a property until all your properties in the set have a house on them. However, a common house rule is to have infinite houses. To avoid this, players build hotels on properties houses on properties they own in order to return houses to the pool.

There is a thirty-two-house limit, leading to a common tactic, especially in World Championships and the like, to buy all the houses so your opponents cannot build them. The only time this can happen is if the 2 properties are not the same monopoly. Even build is a rule, that is, you cannot have a hotel on one property and have 2 houses on the others. Houses can only be bought when all of the spaces in a monopoly are owned by the same player. These are the prices in the original game for each house:Ī hotel costs the same as a house, but you need 4 houses build a hotel.

The cost for a house is different from each property. Those buildings are the central focus of the game. Monopoly City disregards all of these buildings and adds new ones of its own. In Monopoly: The Mega Edition, there are 2 new building types: Train Depots and Skyscrapers. For example, in the Simpsons edition, houses are 'Monorail stops and hotels are monorail stations. In different variations not only the properties and tokens change, but so do the houses. In the original game, houses were small green buildings and hotels were larger red buildings.
