  In the game, you have to improve your properties to charge more rent. In reality, the monopoly can reduce quality and raise price at the same time.

    You dont really improve it, just added more units. Its about volume, not quality.

      Whoch is also a pretty good tactic in Monopoly: try to buy as many houses as possible, but do not upgrade to hotels - exhaust the housing market- that way the other players cannot upgrade either

  Wait, is Jee how the kids spell it these days?

    Considering the origin is “Jesus”, “Jee” is technically closer spelling than “Gee”. Not that I have a dog in this race.

        Well, your English is much better than my Eastern European. :) No clue you weren’t a native English speaker, so there’s that <3

      The intermediate step is “Jeez.”

  In the game, even if you’ve built yourself up, an unlucky roll can still lose you the game. As opposed to real life, where the government decides you’re too big to fail.

    That’s why you’ve got to get chummy with the banker and promise them a cut, and also that you’ll give them some of your cookies after the game.
