And yet Ace of Spades lost 30 hands on Blackjack in a row. The first 10 hands he played at 3 consecutive tables.

Don't play Monopoly with such people.

I'm given to understand that there are some spaces that get landed on far more, or far less, than others, and understanding that effect is almost the single most important factor to winning the game. I read in a book on the game that early Monopoly tournament players, amazingly enough, were some of the very few people who understood that it is easier to roll a seven than, say, a four, and that in turn affects how often players land on certain spaces. That led to, for one thing, asymmetrical house development on property groups. The rules say that you can't have a difference of more than one house between similar properties in a group (so you can't go 1-1-4, for example), but that rule got taken away for tournaments. Vacant lot on Park Place and hotel (Trump) on Broadway.

I think you ought to be able to use nuclear weapons in Monopoly, but that's just my opinion.
