Why's it gotta be the brown properties?

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

They're the cheapest to aquire, put hotels on, and they're right at the start of the board. If you overshoot go, you're PAYING $250 instead of recieving $200 if you land on baltic. And you, as the owner of the brown properties would either get $250 or $450 everytime.

All for just $610 to buy both, and upgrade them both to hotels.

I'm old enough to remember when they were purple. And the orange ones are great but I think statistically the two reds after free parking are the most landed on square.
