Honestly, I dont think I even know for sure what the actual rules are.
First off, everyone seems to ignore auctions, which are the best part. (the price on the properties is the market value, the bidding starts at 10 bucks and could potentially go above the market value, you gotta be a good bluffer)
Second, you CAN collect rent while in jail(that's what swiss banks are for) which means in the late game jail is the best place to be(early game jail is still horrible)
Thirdly, people add a bunch of rules that don't exist. The most common, which I am about to debunk, are..
1. Free Parking ISN'T a jackpot, it's a free space that does literally nothing. 2. The trains don't carry you from one train square to the next, their just property, not a teleporter. 3. Go money is NOT 400, it's 200 4. You don't have to wait for all the property to be sold to start trading, you can start trading whenever 5. No gifting money, AT ALL
If people followed the rules, games would only take 90 minutes AS INTENDED!
I was just waiting for someone to make that joke. Noob Sabot is the choice fighter for noobs.
Is that where the term came from
Origin
"Noob" originated from the word "Newbie"[13], a term originally used in the 1960s–1970s among U.S. troops during the Vietnam War to refer to a new man in a unit. There are multiple theories regarding the etymology of the term "newbie"; some assert that it may have come from the word "newie," which referred to a neophyte or a beginner as early as since 1850s, while others point to the British public school slang "new boy" or "new blood" that emerged around the same time.
Online Usage
The term is believed to have entered online usage through the Usenet newsgroup talk.bizarre in the 1980s, according to The Jargon File. The earliest archived mention of "newbie" can be found in another Usenet discussion thread posted on May 31st, 1988.[14]
