Thank you for keeping me on the straight and narrow. As phrased, there's no reason that a person has to hurry to yell before the active player throws dice another time (due to doubles). | |
| Sep 5, 2017 at 18:07 | comment | added | user7672 | @TOOGAM I believe you are mistaken; the property owner has until the next player rolls the dice--it doesn't have to go all the way around, and doubles wouldn't matter as it's still the same person who owes the rent. "The owner may not collect the rent if he/she fails to ask for it before the second player following throws the dice." hasbro.com/common/instruct/monins.pdf | |

| Sep 5, 2017 at 4:06 | comment | added | TOOGAM | The only time I'm aware of where a player is required to ask for the money is when demanding rent because another player lands on owned property. The rules specifically state that the player does need to catch the opportunity before the potentially-owing player rolls the dice. When I played, my parents enforced the rule that a player cannot just roll dice twice quickly (due to rolling doubles) without giving the property-owner a fair chance to notice and request the rent, but if all (remaining) other player(s) took a turn (including the property owner), that was plenty of opportunity. | |

| Sep 4, 2017 at 21:24 | comment | added | Thunderforge | To be clear, this says that it is the Banker's responsibility to ensure that the player is paid. If the Banker is deliberately withholding money because the player didn't ask for it, they are the ones breaking the rules (unless the table has agreed to a house rule that says otherwise). | |
| Sep 4, 2017 at 15:20 | comment | added | Bill Michell | Monopoly suffers from many, many, house-rules – in other words, rules that people decide to use despite the fact they aren't the ones written down. I've heard of this being one such house rule. In my opinion, this house rule doesn't improve the game – it just allows people to be smug at other people's discomfort even more… | |
