Hi Charles,
It is interesting that when I was a boy and we played Monopoly, we removed
the auction rule completely.
The only way to buy a property was to land on it.
This lead to lots of buying on the first two or there go around and then a
lull as no one had money to buy properties. Eventually you could only trade
if you had a property someone else wanted and you had one that they wanted.

The official rules are that, if a property is landed on that has not been
bought, it is immediately auctioned off, and everyone can bid on it.
Strategy can come into play. If you know that nobody else can pay a given
amount for the property, and that amount is less than the printed price of
the property, and you are wealthy, put it up for auction and bid the price
they cannot afford and get it for less. If you know that someone needs
that property to have a monopoly, and you are wealthy, either raise the
bid to more than they can afford or make them pay through the nose for it,
which will give you a better winning possibility later on by breaking
them.

Hi Jim.
I know you had that rule change in your game, it's just one which has
always confused me a little as to it's logic.
I can see the point of auctions for properties landed on and not bought,
though to be honest I don't particularly like that rule myself, since I
prefer the strategic game of people choosing sets and completing them
rather than just forcing sales as quick as possible. I can see the point
if you want to speed the game up, but I prefer the slower game myself.
Beware the Grue!
Dark.

Hi Dark,
Money on free parking is not an official rule, but it is a popular
variation that allot of people like to play with. I have that option in
my game of monopoly. I also have where you do or do not collect rent if
you are in jail as well as an option for an auction for a property that
is landed on, but not bought.
