How often do you land on Park Place?
That makes it the 6th 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. Park Place takes 1.93% — only 0.77× 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 Park Place 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
Park Place is part of the dark blue group (Park Place and Boardwalk), costs $350 to buy and $200 per house. Fully built with hotels, the group pays for itself in about 29 opponent turns — 4th slowest group of 8.
| Development | Rent | Group payback |
|---|---|---|
| No houses | $35 | 164 turns |
| 1 house | $175 | 115 turns |
| 2 houses | $500 | 53 turns |
| 3 houses | $1,100 | 29 turns |
| 4 houses | $1,300 | 29 turns |
| Hotel | $1,500 | 29 turns |
Rent is for this property alone; payback is for the whole dark blue group, since you can’t build houses without owning all of it.
