If you have more than 7 cards at the end of your turn, you have to discard. But this page says you should discard to the bottom of the draw pile. I find that weird because that way you can "control" the bottom of the draw pile. Also, the FAQ page said that you discard onto the play pile. Which is right? 125.34.4.52 ( talk) 13:13, 18 June 2011 (UTC)

- It doesn't matter, because usually the game ends before the draw pile reach the end. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.6.188.10 ( talk) 08:07, 25 September 2011 (UTC)
Discard wherever you desire, but in any situation it wont matter, unless you are playing with too many players. The number of each card is balanced quite well and will always result in a winning player before the end of the deck so long as you abide by the other rules, Such as, being able to use a 'theft' card on wild cards etc. I've seen people play where you cannot 'sly deal' a full-wild card, but this is contradictory to the rules. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.68.15.154 ( talk) 20:46, 24 February 2014 (UTC)
Both the game manual and the quick rules state that more than 7 cards should go to the bottom of the draw pile. Although this is poor design, it's the official rules. Other games would tell you to put in on the discard pile, or shuffle the draw pile. Speaking of that, this page states that in the eventuality of the draw pile having no more cards, players should shuffle the play pile and use that as the new draw pile. But this is not dictated by official rules. So that is left to the judgment of players, it shouldn't appear as if it was the recommended behavior. 201.37.161.146 ( talk) 18:50, 18 March 2017 (UTC)
There is no clear treatment given to houses and hotels which become tied to less than a full property set or are detached for some reason (including replacement of a house with a hotel).
Edit by Don: You do not replace a house with a hotel card. You stack a house on a hotel card.
Edit by Don: You cannot re-arrange houses as, just like in real life, once it's built, it's built.
Edit by Don: If you use a hotel/house (and you MUST do, before using the property it sits on) you are DESTROYING THE HOUSE/HOTEL to provide funds to pay your Debt. The house/hotel becomes MONEY and cannot be reverted.

Edit by Don:
1) You cannot pay a debt with a property inside a set that includes a house. You MUST pay with the house FIRST. 2) You cannot re-organize a set that includes a house/hotel WITHOUT REPLACING THE REMOVED PROPERTY IMMEDIATELY. - This means you can re-organize your properties so long as you can replace any property with another property in that set. You cannot have an orphaned house or hotel. 3) A house cannot be stolen by a sly/forced deal because it HAS TO be part of a set(also, it's not a property, it is a modifier card). It CAN/MUST be stolen as part of a 'Deal Breaker' if no 'Just say no' is played.
Apart from the 'Just Say No' card, which is clearly documented that can be used over another 'Just Say No' card, there are other cards which could be cause of debate. For example, does a second 'Double Rent' card doubles the rent doubled by a first 'Double Rent' card? My understanding is that no, because 'Double Rent' cards shall be played with standard rent cards [1]. 201.37.161.146 ( talk) 19:31, 18 March 2017 (UTC)
This write up could do with a section on the HK edition, which, by all accounts, includes 20 extra cards. CrazyFoolMrT ( talk) 22:13, 26 March 2017 (UTC)
Similarly there could do with a section on reduced editions of the game (promotional, given away free at supermarkets) - there's one edition out there with 52 game cards, 2 instructions cards and a brand card which was given away with purchases at Morrisons in 2014. sheridan ( talk) 14:41, 10 September 2017 (UTC)
