Monopoly (US version) For Dummies Quiz

Monopoly (US version), for dummies and us poor folk). I say for us poor folk because Monopoly first came out in 1934, when it was a means of escape from the real life effects of the Great Depression. This is my favorite game.

Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What are the first two properties on the board?

Answer: Baltic and Mediterranean Avenues

I used to live in a cheap section of Washington, DC (on F Street). When I played with my family, we called the purples F Street. They are now a different color.

2. What are the two most expensive properties, at the end of the board?

Answer: Boardwalk and Park Place

Of course everyone knows these and they get excited when they land on them. But my experience is that you need good backup property to go with it if you're to stay in the game, since the blue properties typically aren't landed on as often.

3. What is located diagonally from GO?

Answer: Free Parking

Free Parking means nothing (do nothing space) according to the rules, but I play that the person landing there gets the pot ($500 to start plus Luxury and Income Tax payments and anything paid by players when instructed by Community Chest and Chance). I think this is a legitimate variation known by many.

4. What are the names of the cards that you draw?

Answer: Chance and Community Chest

As the game goes on and players are building on their property, everyone's looking out for the "repair" cards, which make you pay for each house and hotel you have. There are two cards, one in Chance and the other in Community Chest. The Chance card is cheaper.

5. What are the colors of the houses and hotels?

Answer: Green and Red

You must build evenly and can only build when you have all the properties of the same color group. Also, you cannot build if there are no houses or hotels left to buy from the bank. You must wait until someone sells them back to the bank.

6. What is located diagonal from GO TO JAIL?

Answer: IN JAIL

If you're the low man on the totem pole with regards to cash and valuable property, you probably actually WISH to get sent to jail, to avoid your opponent's "danger spots."

7. What are the names of the second and third railroad on the board?

Answer: Pennsylvania and B&O

These two are the second and third, respectively, on the board. Philadelphia is a big city in Pennsylvania, B&O stands for the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad and MARC is a Maryland commuter train.

8. What are the names of the first and last railroad on the board?

Answer: Reading and Short Line

These two are the first and last, respectively, on the board. The first name listed for each multiple choice answer is a city or town in Pennsylvania. Germantown is where Monopoly creator Charles B. Darrow lived when he brought the game to Parker Brothers. Philadelphia is the city where the department store was that bought Darrow's first 5000 sets, before he sold the rights to Parker Brothers.

9. What are the names of the utilities?

Answer: Electric Company and Water Works

I always liked these properties, even though you can't build on them.

10. What playing piece was added to the game in 1998?

Answer: bag of gold

The token edged out the piggy bank and biplane in a popular vote.
