He is saying that you are treacherous. It may be a little corny but it seems a play on the idea that it is a game and yet you have to be very aggressive toward your co-players in order. Brutus stabbed Ceaser even though Ceaser thought he was a supporter, the guy must be making a little geeky referral to that when you play a game. Yeah, I can see how, beyond one time, it would become annoying.

Et tu, Brute? (et tooh brooh-tay)
A Latin sentence meaning “Even you, Brutus?” from the play Julius Caesar, by William Shakespeare. Caesar utters these words as he is being stabbed to , having recognized his friend Brutus among the assassins.
# “Et tu, Brute?” is used to express surprise and dismay at the treachery of a supposed friend.

Literally, ''et tu Brute,'' not Brutus, means "and you, Brutus?" It was said by Julius Caesar when Brutus stabbed him. Caesar was asking him if he too was included with the plan of murdering Caesar. Apparently, he was.
Too bad for him, though!!!

It doesn't really make much sense, since this is what Caesar said at the time of his stabbing. It seems it would be more apt if he said it when he landed on one of your pricey spaces. The phrase implies, that "Even you Brutus", has murdered me. It seems to me he is using it in the wrong context. If it annoys you tell him he can at least use the phrase correctly if he must use it.

Translated, it means "You, too, Brutus?" And Julius Ceasar said it to his friend Brutus just before he died because Brutus had betrayed him. I think Brutus is the one that actually killed Ceasar but my memory is quite foggy on the details.
So basically what he's saying is that everyone has betrayed him, but he thought you were a friend, but when you bought those properties or whatever, he felt betrayed by you, too, so "Et tu Brutus?"

Means nothing in the context of Monopoly.
Caesar supposedly said it to Brutus while being knifed "You too, Brutus?"

That's a mongrelization of the Latin "And you, Brutus?" from Julius Caesar. Betrayal by a friend - maybe he's trying to tell you he's stabbed you in the back for his own gain? Just reply with "Qui ne tuberibus offendat amicum postulat, ignoscet verrucis illius." (If you expect your friend to be unoffended by your warts, you’d better pardon his pimples - Horace) and see what he says then. :)

it's what Caesar said to his 'friend' Brutus, who participated in the plot to assassinate Caesar, in Shakespeare's play. Modern translation: I thought we was tight!
Apparently, when you land on these spaces, you're killing him.

He means that he feels that you are betraying him in order to advance yourself higher in the game. Either he is really anti-money, or he is always looking to take those properties, but you get there first.

It refers to getting screwed over by a close friend. What Caesar allegedly said to one of his assassins he had previously thought to be a friend.
