Now i know there are 2 common rules about the no parking space in monopoly. Which rule do you follow when you play?

I. Free space (Does nothing)
II. Jackpot (+$$)

I need answers because this is a pressing issue to me right now.



None.

If I'm playing with my little brothers, taxes and cash lost to cards always goes towards a jackpot. If its only older people playing, we generally have it do nothing so the game goes a tad faster and you don't suddenly get out of debt.

If you can't decide, you can always whip out the rule book and follow it (It does nothing).

Woah

I believe the official rule is that Free Parking is just a resting point and nothing happens. The "jackpot" concept is generally a house rule.

I always do the former.

Free Parking implies just that...

Free. Parking.

I've always played that it's jackpot...but I don't know how it started.

Well, the official rules do not entail a jackpot, and I was just wondering how many people use the jackpot as a house rule because I want to know whether this common house rule or the official rule is more popular.

I myself have always used the jackpot.

I think the rules mention jackpot on free parking as an alternative rule.
And I normally play it as a jackpot. All fees and taxes go in the middle.

We consider Free Parking to be like the lottery. :P

Like winning the lottery...so basically just a jackpot? Or do you do it like "Payday"?



None.

Just here for the activity... well not really

I use it as jackpot where all the tax/fees goes, and it's a pain in the ass.

I find the game ends faster with jackpot free parking, because then hotels go up way sooner.

We use Free Parking as... Free parking. We don't have any jackpot, everything just goes to the bank. And we get 20000 when we pass start, and the double if we land on it.

I've seen monopoly and monopoly bound on the list, but never joined. I just don't think there is anything too the game, either you land on more unbought property than anyone else, or you don't. I might as well play a dice game where the winner is the highest roller.

Ouch, don't talk bad about monopoly if you're going to neglect strategy involved with player2player trading.

NudeRaider -- blessed innocent soul knows nothing of the strife we had before EUDs were discovered :teehee:

DarkenedFantasies -- Probably just didn't care. For example, at some point before release, they've updated the graphics of some of the Protoss buildings (Forge, CyberCore, Citadel, Observatory, Arbiter Tribunal), but instead of properly re-rendering them with edited 3D models, they did crappy copy-paste jobs on the rendered graphics.

Ultraviolet -- I suppose we'll likely never know, but my guess would be that they already saw it operating successfully and there was no monetary incentive to finish the original work. And the dev cycle in old school Blizzard was so hectic, it's possible it just got forgotten about after the original game got released. Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it. And it's not like they remade the original MPQs, they just made new ones for BW specifically

Oh_Man -- so that makes me think maybe the theory they are unfinished is not true and its a deliberate design decision, coz why not finish them wen ur making brood war?
[2026-6-21. : 4:25 am]
Oh_Man -- the thing is thos buildings are from classic. that means they went ahead and made brood war without ever finishing the 'unfinished' buildings
[2026-6-20. : 6:15 pm]
Ultraviolet -- Yeah he's talked about a lot of that stuff in his casts before. It seems plausible. Especially knowing how Blizzard of yesteryear operated.
[2026-6-20. : 3:47 pm]
NudeRaider -- to clarify: couldn't recall the behavior for every single Protoss building but I was aware the disparity exists.
[2026-6-20. : 3:43 pm]
NudeRaider -- Contained nothing new for me. Didn't know all building's behavior, but very much all unit's. Also Terran balance whine - also nothing new :lol:
