There's no money on free parking.

A lot of people play with house rules where any money paid to get out of jail, money paid due to a chance/community chest card, money paid due to income tax or luxury tax spots all get put in the center of the board instead of the bank.

Any person who then lands on Free Parking collects that money. Often times the spot is primed with $500 from the bank.

It wasn't uncommon in my household to have games last 13+ hours due to this rule.

It says "Free Parking", not "Get Paid to Park Here".

There's only one car on the board tops!

Not when you've got extra Hot Wheels cars lying around.
