Monopoly question, landing on go?

Question

My friend says when you land exactly on go you get 400 dollars is this true>?

Answer 1

$200.

Answer 2

Monopoly is often played by house rules.  Free parking, landing on go, etc. are not included in the written instructions, but many people play house rules.  I always played that landing on go landed you $400, and landing on free parking got you the pot in the middle, but I don't think it's written in the game's rules.

Answer 3

The rule is $200 ... but many people make their own rule about it .

Answer 4

well some people play it differently, I play that way....but I also play the Free Parking way too... whatever we owe...like on taxes or charities...u know that kind of stuff, we put the money in the middle of the board and not to the bank...and if u land on Free Parking...u get all the money in the middle of the board. we start the game out with $500 in the middle and go from there. the only money we give to the bank is if we buy a property, but yes, getting $400 on exact land on GO is another way of playing it. or some even play where u get the $400 just by passing GO.

Answer 5

No - not per the official rules.

Collecting $400 is a popular "house rule" - just like getting money for landing on free parking.

Answer 6

Well..

Each time a player's token lands on or passes over GO, whether by throwing the dice or drawing a card, the Banker pays that player a $200 salary.

The $200 is paid only once each time around the board. However, if a player passing GO on the throw of the dice lands 2 spaces beyond it on Community Chest, or 7 spaces beyond it on Chance, and draws the "Advance to GO" card, they collect $200 for passing GO the first time, and another $200 for Advancing to it the second time by the instructions on the card.

Hope this help ~ but i dunno about if u exactly land on it. sorry
