As the two couples sat around the board, enthusiastically rolling the dice, buying up properties and moving their tokens around, the Todds were pleased to note that the Darrows liked the game.

If you own a railroad the rent is 25 and if you own 2 the rent is 50, 100 for 3 stations, and 200 for 4 stations.One night in late 1932, a Philadelphia businessman named Charles Todd and his wife, Olive, introduced their friends Charles and Esther Darrow to a real-estate board game they had recently learned. The purchase price of each railroad is 200.

There are 4 stations in Monopoly: Reading Railroad, Pennsylvania Railroad, B&O Railroad, and Short Line (in the US version) King’s Cross Station, Marylebone Station, Fenchurch Street Station, and Liverpool Street Station (in the UK version). For example, if you own both utilities and an opponent rolls a 2 and it lands them on one of your utilities, then they have to pay you 20 (10×2=20). If a player owns both utilities, then the rent is 10 times the amount indicated by the dice. For example, if an opponent rolls a 6 and it lands them on the utility you own, then they have to pay you 24 (4×6=24). If a player owns only one utility, then the rent is 4 times the amount indicated by the dice roll of an opponent. They both have a purchase price of 150 each. There are two utility squares in Monopoly: Water Works and Electric Company. The orange color set is one of the most profitable sets in regards to the cost of buying a hotel and the subsequent rent the owner receives. Studies have shown that the odds of landing on an orange square are higher than landing on any other color set. Looking at these tables we can see the high profitability of building a hotel, which explains why the winner of Monopoly is often the player who decided to take the risk of building several houses and hotels, even if it meant spending a lot of money and mortgaging the undeveloped properties.
