You roll doubles. You roll doubles again. As a result of that roll you end up in jail.
Do you:
Get another roll?
End your turn?
If you get another roll what happens if you roll doubles for a third time?
:dubious: Eh?
Rolling doubles a second time allows you to roll a third time. If you roll doubles on that roll, you go directly to jail and your turn is over.
That is the ONLY way to play Monopoly. It’s also the official way to play:
I may have miswritten. The second roll caused you to land on the “go to jail space”. Does the turn end then, or is there an implicit third turn hanging around because you rolled doubles?
Jail trumps all, I believe. Your turn ends then and there.
Sage advice that can apply in all walks of life.
Ah, I misunderstood. But Bosstone is right, jail trumps all. Your turn ends.
While we’re on Monopoly, let me ask a couple questions:
Who actually plays Free Parking the way it is meant to be (ie, nothing happens. No one gets or loses any money.)?
When you’re in jail, are you required to attempt to roll doubles three times before paying the $50 fine, or can you just say “screw it” and pay the $50 your first turn there? And for thast matter, if you do get a double, are you “out of jail” and then wait until your next turn to roll and move again, or do you move the number you rolled on those doubles?
FTR, in my family, we put money you paid for income and luxury tax (but that’s in) in the middle of the board, and Free Parking gets that. I’ve heard of variations ranging from $500 in the middle at the start of the game, and Free Parking gets that and only that (and it gets re-seeded when it’s taken,) to almost every payment made to the bank going in the middle!
You are not required to roll to get out of jail. If it’s late in the game and you stand a chance of landing on some very expensive properties, you can just stew in your cell under the hopes someone else goes bankgrupt before you get out.
And yes you can just pony up the fifty bucks right off the bat, but it must be on your turn and it constitutes the end of your turn. Same if you roll doubles. You move your piece out of jail and your turn is over I believe.
Much like the video game aspect ratio thread, I could just be talking out of my ass some more though.
I don’t think you are. It’s been a while since I played and I’m not going to search for the rules online, but it’s up to you what you choose to do to get out of jail. Way I see it, you can sit and do nothing, call your lawyer and hope he manages to get you cleared (rolling doubles), or post bail (drop a $50).
ETA: Or call in a favor from the mayor, who you play cards with every week (use a Get Out Of Jail Free card). 
By “play cards with every week” you actually mean “deal drugs to every week” right? Or is my version different from yours? 
Been watching a lot of Castle lately, what can I say?
Are you sure? I would have guessed that it was still your turn and you could pay your fine (or use your “get out of jail free” card) then. I haven’t played recently though.
This is incorrect.
When in jail, you must roll the dice when it is your turn. If the roll is doubles, you are out of jail and move forward the number of spaces shown by the dice. You do not roll again.
If, before you roll, you choose to pay the $50 fine, you then roll and play proceeds as normal (doubles would mean you roll again in this instance).
If you have not rolled doubles by the third roll, you must pay the $50 fine and them proceed forward the number of spaces shown by the dice.
Note that sitting in jail is not an option; you must roll the dice each turn.
And yes, I play with Free Parking the way the rules list it, i.e. nothing happens there. (Fines, taxes, etc. are paid to the bank.)
Me, for one. Playing it with getting money for Free Parking does NOTHING except extend the game by a matter of hours, and is probably the number one reason people have bad memories of playing the game as a child.
Try playing a few games without adjusting any of the rules. I think you’ll find that those Parker Brothers knew what they were doing, and “house rules” only take away from the enjoyment.
Exactly. Free parking bonuses add too much chance to a game that is already (in my opinion) an optimum blend of chance and negotiating/business skill. The free parking jackpots really upset this balance to make the game uninteresting and too much the whims of the dice. It basically breaks the game for me. That said, I haven’t played Monopoly in years, but I hated the Free Parking jackpot house rule.
Agreed. That, and people who “trade immunity”. :mad: Do you not know how to read a rulebook or what?
But you can still collect rent therefore why would you want to pay to get out? You’re rewarded for sitting in jail.
Just like RL
I refuse to play in a game where Free Parking collects money. This rule makes the difference between a 2 hour game and an 8 hour game.
Free Parking is also a very important space at the end of the game, when you’re really trying to stay off the radar. It’s also odd how towards the second half of the game, you WANT to be in jail, since as long as you’re in there, you can’t lose any money and can still collect money from your properties.
What’s this “trading immunity”? I have played Monopoly many times and never run into it before.
I assume it has something to do with players exchanging free rent, or some such…
Am I anywhere close in my assumption?
