The official rules concerning houses and hotels is that, after they are all
bought, you cannot buy one. A Monopoly set comes with 32 houses and 12
hotels. After all of the houses have been bought, the only way to improve
your properties is to buy hotels, but you have to have 4 houses on each
property of a monopoly to be able to do so. Strategy comes into play. To
prevent you from buying hotels, a player might be able to afford hotels for
a monopoly, but they would sell their 4 houses back to the bank in order to
do so. Then, you would be able to buy those houses. So, all they have to
do is to keep 4 houses on their properties, not buying hotels. You are
stuck, not able to improve.

Hi Jim.
I'd always sort of assumed that at least the idea! was to have hotels for
every property on the board, even if there weren't quite enough to do that
(especially with older sets where some of the hotels and houses got lost),
though in practice I don't think I've ever actually played a game of
monopoly where more than about 7 or 8 streets had them.
Beware the Grue!

Hi Dark,
Someone told me that this is a rule, but I'm not sure if it is in the
rules, or if it is just that is what the game comes with. And that is
the number of houses and hotels. My version of the game does not have
that limit. And so especially if you are playing with money on free
parking, you may end up with a hotel on every property that you can put
houses and hotels on.
