Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. How much money does the banker distribute to each player in the starting of the game?

Answer: $1500

$1500 per player are distributed at the start of the game in the American version. In the other versions the money distribution is different as the currency and the cost of the places are also different.

2. How much money does a player get when they pass 'Go'?

Answer: $200

You get $200 when you pass 'Go' which is quite a lot but there are many other things that tend to take away your money during the game.

3. How much money do you get with the Chance card that reads 'Your building and loan matures'?

Answer: $150

Everyone gets very happy if they receive this card as $150 is quite a lot of money in this game.

4. In Community Chest, what happens when a player gets the 'grand opera opening' card?

Answer: He gets to collect $50 per player

This the best part of Community Chest, as players can get hundreds of dollars in this way. This is the luckiest card in community chest.

5. In Chance, how much do you have to pay for general repairs of each hotel?

Answer: $100

No one (except those who don't have any hotels of course) likes it when they receive this card as they might even lose all their money paying repairs. $100 per house is not cheap!

6. *According to the official rules (Hasbro 2010)*, how many ways are there to get out of jail?

Answer: 4

In principle, there are three ways to get out of jail:
1: Use a 'Get out of jail free' card.
2: Pay $50.
3: Roll a doubles (same numbers on both dice).
However, the official rules make a difference between using a 'Get out of jail free' card you already own and purchasing one from another player with intent to use it immediately. Thus, the rules actually list four different ways even though two are in effect the same.

7. How much do Boardwalk and Park Place cost together?

Answer: $750

The cost of Boardwalk is $400 and Park Place costs $350.

8. How many Railroads are there in all in Monopoly?

Answer: 4

The 4 railroads are Reading Railroad, Short Line Railroad, B. & O. Railroad and Pennsylvania Railroad.

9. How much do you have to pay if you land on Income Tax?

Answer: $200

Everybody hates this place as $200 is so much to pay. They land on it just after 'Go' and lose the $200 they get there. Prior to 2008, the player had the option of paying 10% of their total assets, or $200, whichever was the smaller.

10. How does the game end?

Answer: When all except one become bankrupt

This game takes very long to end but of course it is very entertaining and fun. Everyone loves this game. It's a perfect game for a family night. The more people playing, the merrier.
