How often do you land on Mediterranean Avenue?
That makes it the 5th least-landed-on square of 39 on the board.
On a board where every square was equally likely, each would take 2.5% of turns. Mediterranean Avenue takes 1.90% — only 0.76× 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
No Chance or Community Chest card sends anyone here. Every token that lands on Mediterranean Avenue got there on the dice alone, which is most of the reason it sits where it does — the squares above it in the ranking are nearly all collecting card traffic on top of their dice traffic.
What it earns
Mediterranean Avenue is part of the brown group (Mediterranean Avenue and Baltic Avenue), costs $60 to buy and $50 per house. Fully built with hotels, the group pays for itself in about 37 opponent turns — 1st slowest group of 8.
| Development | Rent | Group payback |
|---|---|---|
| No houses | $2 | 423 turns |
| 1 house | $10 | 310 turns |
| 2 houses | $30 | 150 turns |
| 3 houses | $90 | 66 turns |
| 4 houses | $160 | 46 turns |
| Hotel | $250 | 37 turns |
Rent is for this property alone; payback is for the whole brown group, since you can’t build houses without owning all of it.
