How often do you land on B&O Railroad?

Share of all turns, long run
2.83%

That makes it the 5th most-landed-on square of 39 on the board.

On a board where every square was equally likely, each would take 2.5% of turns. B&O Railroad takes 2.83% — about 1.13× the flat rate. The board isn’t flat because Go To Jail, the two card decks, and the doubles rule all pump traffic around it unevenly.

Why this number

B&O Railroad doesn’t only collect dice traffic — a card routes players here directly:

  • Advance to the nearest Railroad (Chance, 2 copies of the card, reachable from 1 of the 3 Chance squares)

All four railroads cost $200 each. Rent runs $25 / $50 / $100 / $200 for one, two, three and four owned — owning the full set pays back in about 32 opponent turns.
