Classic Board Game List
What does it mean in the Monopoly board game: mortgaged, unmortgaged and unimproved property?
I’m reading the rules of the classic Monopoly game and this is where it confuses me; is under Paying Rent:
When you land on a property that is owned by another player, the owner collects rent from you in accordance with the list printed on its Title Deed card.
If the property is mortgaged, no rent can be collected. When a property is mortgaged, its Title Deed card is placed face down in front of the owner.
It is an advantage to hold all the Title Deed cards in a color-group (i.e., Boardwalk and Park Place, or Connecticut, Vermont and Oriental Avenues) because the owner may then charge double rent for unimproved properties in that colour-group. This rule applies to unmortgaged properties even if another property in that colour-group is mortgaged.
Unmortgaged: The starting condition of the property. As soon as you buy property, you can collect money from rent.
Mortgaged: You take out a loan from the bank using your property as collateral. You generally get half of the property sale price as a loan, and in return you must turn over your card and you will not be able to collect rent. You can unmortgage the property again by paying back the mortgage plus a 10% fee.
Unimproved: Street property with no houses or hotels. You can’t double the rent of railroads and utilities if you have a monopoly; in those cases, you follow the rules on the card to figure out how much is owed to you.
