Me too. All the fees and stuff.
by Sweet T on September 29th, 2008
Absolutely.

Always. Our "family rules" state that 500 dollars are placed on Free Parking at the start of every game (increasing after every Free Parking payout at the Banker's discretion), and all income/luxury taxes and fines as well.
by dotnotdottie on January 20th, 2007
i always put money on fee parking. and everyone i have ever played with does the same.
by kyannie72 on January 7th, 2007
Everything but the money paid for property goes in Free Parking when I play. Makes the game for fun and interesting.
by djb1969 on November 27th, 2006
I never understood why Free Parking was never updated in the official rules of Monopoly. I've rarely played Monopoly without using Free Parking as a collection of taxes and other fees. It makes the game more fun and for years many have used it for that purpose (land on Free Parking, get the accumilated loot).
by Alienshroom on November 26th, 2006
Same here thats how i play.
by tt010101 on November 26th, 2006
Yes. Taxes, special events and jail money goes in the middle.
by Miss Priceless Princess fancies RUSirius on November 26th, 2006
Yeah, all the income tax we have to pay and when u pay 50 to get out of jail, all of that goes in the middle. It's more fun that way. :D
by Puccini on November 26th, 2006
by the way I do
by Daisy85 on December 6th, 2008
Yes, all the taxes and fees. Its is really nice when your going broke to land on it. And now we have the new version with the credit cards...we thought oh no how will we put money there. But we usually have an extra card that isnt being used by a player and we put that in the middle and add money to it.
by HorseyGirl333 on December 6th, 2008
the parker brothers way is not to put any money on free parking.
but me and my dad play classic way which is putting taxes on free parking
by Galeanda on September 29th, 2008
Sure do unless I'm playing with someone that is real stickler about the rules.
by shady on September 29th, 2008
oh yea spices it up a little
by Needs some coffee on September 29th, 2008
Well, we have the computer version of Monopoly and they place all taxes and fines collected on free parking.
by denidowi on September 29th, 2008
No; you usually find a game better balanced and better to play when you play by the designed rules!
by piatro on January 21st, 2007
omg!! i thot that was a rule onli used by my family! yh i use that its loads betta than puttin it in the bank!
by redb_ball is away on January 20th, 2007
yes
by FreshApples on January 20th, 2007
yes we do
by princessemmabelle on January 20th, 2007
Yes. In our house all the money for taxes and fees go in the middle of the board, and the luckey player who lands on free parking gets to claim the jackpot.
by mac1896 on January 7th, 2007
Always have played it that way, ever since I can remember (and that's goin' back some).
by anonymous on January 7th, 2007
I do. It just adds a little more excitement to the game. It really pisses me off though, cause it can turn the game around really quick.
by nevets - badgicide on January 7th, 2007
I do most of the time. :)
by Drublic on January 7th, 2007
I've always played that any money from fees are put into a pot in the middle and when someone lands on Free Parking, they get that money. And, whenever someone gets the money, the bank adds $50 to start the pot off for the next person.
by words o wisdom on April 11th, 2007
yes its such a great incentive
by weatherman taking week or so off on April 11th, 2007
Depends on what everyone wants. Usually, we collect all TAXES and award them for landing on Free Parking. That's the Income Tax and Luxury Tax squares plus various CC and ? cards. The cards must say TAX (not street repairs, for instance).
by aaron78 on January 31st, 2007
Yes anything not property related.(like chance and community chest) also i put 600 in the middle to start and after someone lands on it.
by Tostie14 on January 6th, 2009
Of course not. That just prolongs the game. If the object of the game of MONOPOLY is to bankrupt your opponents, why create inflation and leave cash in the game?

by Rhino349 on January 18th, 2009
I don't. Doing that makes the game last way longer than it should.
by Anonymous on May 12th, 2009
Our family does, all the money we have to pay to the bank from the cards and get out of jail money we put in the middle.
It makes the game way more interesting and makes your arm ache much less from reaching into the bank...
by Google a Foo Fighting COAT on January 22nd, 2009
All fee's yes.
by chipsndip on January 31st, 2007
If you are going to play until all but one player goes bankrupt, then putting money on free parking will keep the game going on for at least an extra hour. For the interest of time, we do not use that house rule.
