It's that time again! Synapsis of Move #3: -------------------- Tom: rolled a [5] [5] and landed on Ventnor Ave. After buying it, he rolled a [4] [3] and landed on Pennsylvannia Ave (what a lucky guy!). He bought that, too. Wayne: rolled [2] [2] and hit Chance II. The card said, "Your Building and Loan Matures. Collect $150." After the monetary gain, he rolled [2] [1] and landed on B&O RR. He bought it, making that the first sale of a Railroad thhis entire game! Bill: rolled [6] [4] and landed on Indiana Ave. Bought it. Evan: rolled [5] [2] and landed on Community Chest III (note change in number. There are only three Chest spaces on the BOARD!). Card read "From Sale of Stock You Get $45." He did. Turn #4: ------- Wayne: rolls [5] [4]. This puts him on Pacific Ave. It is unowned, so he buys it. Bill: rolls [5] [1]. This puts him on Marvin Gardens. As per instructions, he buys it. Now all the yellows are sold, and owned by three different people (I feel a deal approaching...). Evan: rolls [4] [1]. He lands on Luxury Tax. Sorry, Evan, but you pay $75. Tom: rolls [4] [4], landing on Community Chest I. The card says, "Doctor's Fee-Pay $50 (you can tell how old the game is -- check out that low bill). He passed GO!, so he collected a net amount of $150. He then rolls a [4] [2] and lands on Vermont Ave. He pays Wayne the $6 in rent. Questions: Will Wayne accept such a measly rent? Will Tom ever stop paying the Community Chest people? For the answers to these and many other stirring questions, stay tuned! Same bat-time, same bat-channel. Robert A.
