Talk:Monopoly/Strategy

Comments
The example used for building houses in a color group is unclear. The example is misleading because makes it seem as though Property 2 ends up with only one house while Property 3 has three houses. Obviously that is impossible because you cannot build unevenly. Please fix this.

I thought everyone knew that the orange properties were the most valuable on the board. They are most likely to be landed on due to their position in relation to the jail, they are affordable to develop. anyone who gets a monopoly on this set early has won the game.

Likelihood Of FULL Payment
One issue this strategy guide fails to mention is the likelihood of receiving payment IN FULL. For example, I have played many games where someone gets a hotel on Boardwalk, only to discover that, when people land there, they never have $2,000 to pay them with anyway, and so they never collect the full amount. Shouldn't this come in to consideration when making strategy?
