Isn't it the board game that you just love to hate!
What I want to know is why the hell does everyone have to have different rules when playing the game?
ITS SO annoying!
and at the same time why the hell do people think that owning the stations are so good? they are expensive and the return is nothing special!
and.....
why does everyone seem to rejoyce in having the dog as the figure
and FINALLY!
a complaint to the makers! why the hell destroy the best board game ever by doing spin offs! e.g. The Simpsons, Here and Now etc! they are rubbish and just not the same! stick to the regular bog standars one!

RRs are a good investment, actually, as long as you get all four early in the game... Sure, you can't develop them, but no other property is worth as much compared to the investment... plus you're spread around the board, so your chances are greater.
Now, the utilities are a different story... they suck, even when you own both.

It's all about the Top Hat. When you are low on money, turn it upside down....and it is your welfare hat. When i do that...I always seem to land on a massive free parking

You may be spread out but when your opponant approaches he only had one square to land on that might be yourse instead of a set. They cannot compare in any way to the effectiveness of getting the orange, reds and light blues(i hope the colours are the same for all versions) with homes or hotels on

Yes they can; in the case of owning one colour group, you've basically only have one shot to catch your opponents each time around the board, with moderate probability (the chance of them landing on the first of the group and then rolling a two or three and landing on one of the others is pretty low). In the case of railroads, it's fairly probable that someone could land on each one in one trip around the board... plus you have four chances instead of three.

You all need to get a life. The Game of Life!!!! It's straight forward, you can't screw up the rules and everyone gets a car for a game piece.
