Wrong. It's one turn, not two. Maybe someone should have read the book?Hm. Snatch up all the property you can, but don't spend too much money doing it. Sounds like some pretty amazing advice right there.To be fair, there was a little strategy included, like buying red or orange properties, but the rest was pretty crappy.Why am I constantly seeing tips and guides that offer little more advice than, "Don't suck"?
"Any game that uses dice is 95% luck.""You've never played Yahtzee, have you?"In Yahtzee, the "dice" affect each player equally and are only used as a way to randomly select letters. 95% seems a bit high. In games like Monopoly and Risk, decision making is very important, but the dice probably hold more weight.
@chibigokuI agree with Xstatic's interpretation of the rules, with the second player being the one after the first player. I'm the first player, and I land on the property. The second player is the guy after me. When he rolls, the person who owns the property loses his chance.And not to cop out, but it sounds a little more obscurely worded than the game manual in the box that I read. In what I read, it was very clearly stated. This one, not so much.
Step 1 tells me to put between 1 and 4 dogs on the plate, and arrange them in a square. That works fine and dandy for the 4 dog permutation, but how can I make a square of 3 or less dogs?

My brother wins every time by buying the low rent properties and building heavy on them. He's like the king of all slumlords.

You're confusing "players" with "turns". It is the same turn, but second player.
