Hi Dark, Heh. As weird as the house rule appears to you, I think you'd be surprised how many people use it. Most people I know use it on an actual physical board, and if I' on the playroom it almost always comes into play there as well. I try to avoid such things; I'm sort of a Nazi when it comes to following the rules in such games, especially when actually getting said money is strictly a luck-based outcome.

Then again monopoly seems to have a lot of rule variation. When i originally played for example I always thought no buying on the first go around the board was an official rule and was quite surprised to find many players didn't. It makes for a longer game and also makes luck with the dice important to get off to an early start, but it does tend to result in players picking up properties in a more spread out way since obviously they will arive on the first few squares at different times. There was also a really weerd rule which I've seen some people play with that whenever a player loses cash to a chance or community chest card, that cash goes into the center of the board and the next person who lands on free parking can take it, ---- though to me that one seemed just plane crazy, and I couldn't really see the point since you don't get paid for free parking in real life :d. And all this is of course apart from some of the whackier custom monopoly games with different rules and cards, ---- albeit I've unfortunately never really got to play those myself as (as usual), the only accessible version in braille is the bog standard original one. Beware the Grue! Dark.
