Answer 3

The link below has a copy of the official rules.

1) Yes, you are certainly allowed to mortgage one or more of your properties to come up with the cash to purchase the property you landed on.  In fact, if you own houses or hotels you are also allowed to sell those (back to the bank, at half price) to raise cash to pay for the property.

2) The official rules are very clear:  "A player landing on this place does not receive any money, property or reward of any kind.  This is just a "free" resting-place."

3) Yes.  These rules are also very clear.  "The owner may not collect the rent if they fail to ask for it before the SECOND player following throws the dice."  So if the NEXT player rolls the dice and THEN the owner notices, he can still collect the rent.  But if the SECOND player following rolls the dice, then the player who landed on the property no longer has to pay the rent.

4) Yes, if you throw doubles when you are in jail, you MUST leave.  Move your token the number of spaces as indicated by the doubles you threw.  

If you did not pay the $50.00 before you threw, you do NOT roll again.  Those doubles got you out.  But if you DID pay the $50.00 prior to rolling, and then you roll doubles, you ARE allowed to roll again.  

From the rules:  "If you succeed in throwing doubles you immediately move forward the number of spaces shown by your doubles throw. Even though you had thrown doubles, you do not take another turn.

(I won a Monopoly Tournament in Las Vegas in 1985 or 1986.)

Answer 4

1) yes

2) when you really land on free parking it does nothing. just a free spot.

3) yes

4)move that amount if you land doubles. but if you pay the 50 bucks pay at the beginning of your turn. then you roll and move that amount

Answer 5

Getting money for landing on free parking ruins the game.

The rules state that you get nothing because putting money on free parking introduces too much money into the game and ruins the balance, ie: you can't bankrupt people because their income will always be greater than the amount they have to pay out each time around the board.

This is why most people complain about monopoly taking too long.

Answer 6

I'll tell you what I know from the electronic ones that I've played. I like playing a bunch of different versions on the computer, PS2 and SNES. And all of them have had the same guidelines.

1. Yes you can mortgage property to buy more. But in all of the elec. versions, if you can't buy it, your opponet has the option to buy it or auction it if there are more than 2 players. You can also participate in the auction and try to get it cheaper than the original price.

2. In free parking, you have the option to not use it, but if you do want to use it, the fines from the community chest and chance cards go into it. The taxes paid, do not. Or you can just have a set amount. Like $300 is always in there. When someone collects it, just replace the $300.

3. I'm sorry, this one I can't really answer because I usually only play the computer. (And it always pays attention :-)  ) But if your opponent is in jail and you land on their property, you don't have to pay rent. I do remember playing the board version when I was younger and we would use that rule sometimes, but I don't think it's an official one. I'm not sure.

4. If you roll a double, you do get out and move that number on the dice. The computer versions always use that third roll as my turn. In other words, by the third time if I don't roll doubles, I pay the $50 and move the amount that was on the dice.

Like I said, these are all the standard rules for the electronic games. But I think they apply to the board game as well. I've been playing this for a long time and ever since I was young, we would follow the rules for the most part, but if all players agreed on changing a rule, we would do that too.
