Setting the Rules for Monopoly the Board Game
There are a lot of gray areas in the monopoly rule book. Some of these rules can be dependent on the house or tournament so make sure you understand or agree upon on these rules before you begin to play. There are so many different possibly scenarios of monopoly that sometimes there is no definite rule governing the problem in which case you just have to try and come to a civilized agreement. In most cases, problems like this arise when players make agreements that do not involve money or property being traded on both ends. An example of this is the player agrees to trade a piece of property for rent immediately on a certain space. Another example is if a player cannot or does not want to pay rent and the creditor agrees to allow the player to pay at a later time. If this type of wheeling and dealing is allowed in the game, you should take as much advantage of it possible; however, it is discouraged. Things can quickly get confusing and sometimes such deals just end up with an absurd side effect and you guess it, the mechanics of the game can become messed up. As I said the rule book doesn’t really touch on matters such as this. However, official tournament rules do require that all deals be based on a player’s finances at the time of the deal so this type of dealing should be settled upon before the game begins. One other thing to be aware of is, that the rule book does forbid loans from other players.
