I assume the following rule is the same for both games (this rule I discovered last year when I bought Monopoly to play with the kids):

"The bank never runs out of money" - (looks like the rules reflect reality in our central banking fiat credit=money world).

Also, creation and access to credit and the banktuptcy laws are a bit different now than in the 1930s I would supposes which should allow for re-entry into the game:

"When bankrupt:
for those born on 3rd base and home plate:
player must sit out game for 1 turn before getting access to another line of credit"
for those born on 2nd base:
player must sit out for 7 turns before getting access to another set of credit cards and must immediately take $25k cash advance against the new cards at prime +16.99%
for those born on 1st base:
player gets access to discarded card board boxes to build new hovel

I did run out of money, I was playing the game in the 90's and we played sometimes for days. I printed additional money on my first ink jet printer 100.000 and 1.000.000 notes

Best I've seen on iTulip. A dense summary of so much written here over the past many years. But it makes people uncompfortable, I fear. Too much truth in it, and all packed into one place, like a novel.

What base were you born on? Don't ask. This is America. We don't have classes here. We are blind to class. We are socially mobile free to move as we please. We need only work hard.

Ah, poor iTulip. So many fallacies, so little time.
