Monopoly question - What do you consider to be "even building"? Does that mean buying the same # of houses

Question

for all properties in a monopoly at the same time, or can you add one on at a time as long as it is still even with the others, for example .... 2 houses on each property, then placing a 3rd house on only one property if you can't afford more?

Answer 1

Any one property in a set, cannot have more than 1 house above what the other(s) have.  Your example is correct.

Answer 2

I think it means that you can't have 10 houses on Park Place, and none on Oriental Avenue.

Answer 3

You can have one more house one property. So ur example would work. Hope this helps. COLIN

Answer 4

Yeah, it does the same*

Answer 5

Your example is correct.

Answer 6

I take it to mean you can build houses one at a time, but you can't add them all to one property.  Or as you describe "add one on at a time as long as it is still even with the others, for example .... 2 houses on each property, then placing a 3rd house on only one property if you can't afford more"

Answer 7

You have to wait until you can afford at least 1 house for each property of the same color. If you want to buy 5 houses you have to only get 2 each for the dark purple and dark blue but 1 each for properties that contain 3 of the same color until you can afford 6! Make Sense? In your scenario you would have to wait until you can do 1 for each at the same time! House rules allow for change!

Answer 8

Your example works as long as the properties you are building on are in the same color group. You must own all of the color group before you start building.
