A couple of questions about Monopoly...

1) If I have two railroads, one of which is mortgaged and one of which is not, and you land on the unmortgaged one, do you have to pay $25 or $50 in rent? I'm positive it should be $50, but I had people arguing with me about this one, and put it to ATOT for the final answer. As we all know, this is the purveyor of all knowledge.

2) Does income tax include mortgaged property? Again, I think this is the case, but would like confirmation.

May everyone always land on Boardwalk when you have a hotel on it.

I believe the rules state that rent cannot be charged on mortgaged properties. The property tax, however, applies to all properties.

edit: I'm right, here's the rules page.

If you land on the unmortgaged one then you only pay $25. You cannot collect rent on something that is mortgaged. No matter what it is railroad or otherwise. Screw the income tax. Thats too much effort.

From Giant's link above:

INCOME TAX

If you land here you have two options: You may estimate your tax at $200 and pay the Bank, or you may pay 10% of your total worth to the Bank. Your total worth is all your cash on hand, printed prices of mortgaged and unmortgaged properties and cost price of all buildings you own. You must decide which option you will take before you add up your total worth.

Hmm... 1/2.

Thanks for the info!
