when playing monopoly do you have to wait to go around the board once before buying property?

Answer 1

No, you can buy anything you land from the 1st roll on.

Answer 2

When playing Monopoly, make up your rules BEFORE you play so everyone has an even playing field. We usually up the PASSING GO payment to $400, double if you land on it. If you want to buy property the first time around, make that clear also. You can do whatever you want in Monopoly.

Answer 3

Lot's of people have "extra" rules for Monopoly, like not buying property until you've been around the board once. It depends on who you play with.

Answer 4

If you want to make that a rule you can. I used to have a video game version of Monopoly and I think you had to wait once to buy property. Here is a link to the official rules http://richard_wilding.tripod.com/monorules.htm

Answer 5

In my household, we only use that rule when betting money. In actuality, you could buy stuff from the start. I prefer going around once first, it gives you a feel of what's hot and whats not on the board!!!

Answer 6

No, you do not have to go around the board, you can buy anything you land on from the beginning of the game.

Answer 7

We always played that way...but its not in the rules..think my rotten sister started that when I landed on a property she wanted to buy on the 1st round lol

Answer 8

The old monopoly said that you did ,and the newer versions don't, so it depends which version your playing.

Answer 9

Yes, in the original version, back in the early '60's I think, maybe even before that.

Answer 10

No, not unless you want to. This is one of those house rules that people invented to make the game more fun.
