¿Question #4660?
puffinge: In your games of Monopoly, what happens when someone lands on Free Parking?

Jrtolf: The next player probably takes their turn.
BOBBYCAN: I used to play with some friends who had a rule where if you land there you can stay as long as you want, not having to worry about paying rent anywhere, till another player landed there and booted you out.
Hector Vortac: I don't remember much about games I played 30 years ago. HOWEVER..... my friends have a wonderful variant. Someone lands on Free Parking, you play a hand of poker.
the manatee: Other than trading, their turn is over.
Solocutor: They used to get the money in the center which was seeded with a $500 bill. Then I got a little wiser and stopped seeding the center. Now, I think if I ever play again, I will not put anything in the center, and let the Free Parking space be a neutral space. At this rate, in the future I will physically assault anyone who lands there.
superpaulio: As a house rule, we put some money on there.
weed131: $500 plus all money paid into the bank goes there for anything but properties
Neophyte: Nothing whatsoever.
bcooperok: I take all the money that has stacked up in the middle. Just like the rules say to do.
Corran Horn: The next player takes his turn. Or at least he would if I ever DID play Monopoly anyway...
Steerpike.Instance: I never play this monstrosity
kathleenryan: They get the money piled up in the center of the board from players paying fines, etc.
rseater: We lynch the person who says that they get free money.
niraD: They get to park for free.
Frubgarde: We pause the game for an exciting bout of Russian Roulette a la The Deer Hunter. Great fun, but I shot myself dead last week.
shteev: We go and play Settlers instead.
jpat: Well, we probably usually paid out some money, even though that's not the rule.
dogea: Never played Monopoly
wwwebb: They get a space to rest where nothing happens
MotUfan: They win $1,000,000 USD, and the blue fairy comes out and grants them three wishes. Or at least I think that's what would happen if I played Monopoly.
Cornbread46: They get the money in the pot... contrary to the rules that is.
DHEK: Nothing happens.
aleo09: you get money
POvidiusNaso: They get all the fine money.
bear23: They get the cash! Everytime someone has to pay a bill (to the bank) it goes into free parking and accumulates until . . .
Geosmores: nothing
Cut & Space: nothing, it's a free parking
Leo-T: nada
twrites2: collect all money that has been collected for fines & taxes
Stockholm: monopoly will only be played over my dead body
KDSN: Usually nothing.
dmomo: Sadly, they get lots of money.
Big BabOOn: The feeling of emptiness stays and the madness continues...
vampywife: they get the money from the center of the board, which is where all the money from the chance cards and taxes goes
dietevil: they get the pool - but I rarely play monopoly
Hoju: they get sworn at.
jasta6: they park for free....duh!.............................................................................. and gets lots of money!!...
chockle: They bitch that there is supposed to be a bunch of money there.
mlanza: Collect the money under it.
Nekura: Gets the cash in the middle, of course
Helenoftroy: normally they get 500 dollars and if there was any penalty taxes that others had to pay. Yes, this is not in the rules.
Chris Page: An argument over house rules and game balance.
bigbadsteve: they take money. screaming ensues
Beowulf: NOTHING. They don't have to pay because it's *free* parking. Any house rule that allows a player to collect fines is an anathema that serves to prolong the game, resulting in its widespread scorn.
brainrob: Don't play it
Tennantgamer: they get the money that was paid for taxes
confuse_a_cat: I stop charging them for the use of my driveway
scriptorum: Everyone else groans.
DarqueKhaos: Nothing
vetinari7878: They park for free.
puffinge: I know what the rules say, I'm asking what happens in YOUR games of Monopoly. And, no, Randy, that house rule, used by so many, is one of the reasons the game takes so long. That rule has contributed mightily to the hating of monopoly.
djlg: Nothing.
casrina: nothing
Randy Cox: In most cases, we use the house rule that $500 plus all taxes and fees go to the free parking space. Livens up a lesser game. To hell with the official rules.
fFish: Nothing
dogberry: We beat them up for playing such a stupid game.
ZombyDawg: Read the rules: NOTHING!!!
Culvan: Well, last time I played, you got a gazillion dollars, but that was years ago. If I played now, I don't know what rules I'd use...
javelin98: They get all the money and then you restock the middle with a $500 bill
dakarp: When I was a kid, they got $500. Now, it would be nothing.
The 17th Ogre: You get bunches of money. $500 and whatever else was paid but not to the bank. Tax and stuff. Why? Am I weird?
Evilnames: Get all the money in the center
ssmooth: They park for free.
Cerebus: I vomit.
jttm: Well, I play that she takes off an extra article of clothing.
Dave: A piece of clothing gets removed.
