Question
I have a question about building "evenly". You must build evenly, i.e., you cannot erect more than one house on any one property of any colour-group until you have built one house on every property of that group. You may then begin on the second row of houses, and so on, up to a limit of four houses to a property. Can you buy one house at a time? If you own the light blues, can you buy one house, then the next time one house or at the this time do you have to buy two houses to fill out the colour-group in hense building evenly? Or can you buy one house at a time all the way through??
Answer
Shayne,
You can buy one house all the way through as long as if you are buying an additional house for the same color group it must be placed on the property with the least amount of houses.
Example: In the Blue properties:
1st Blue Site = 1 house
2nd Blue Site = 1 house
3rd Blue Site = No house
If you buy a house for the 3rd Blue Site then you can buy a second house on any of the the three Blue Sites when you land there the next time, but next time you must buy a house it must be the one that has the least number of houses. When you, at last, have 4 houses on a Site, you can buy your first hotel!
Same goes for any other color. You can go back and forth. And it matters not how many houses you have on yellow or blue or other colors but that you build each of the same color properties evenly...so all need to have one house before a second can be built(and, yes, each house can be built one house a at time so at times you might have a 3 properties but only one with a house)Only until all 3 properties of the same color have one house each can you then add a second house to each property in the order you choose and so on... That is what is meant by building evenly. Now, go and become rich!
You can reference any of the rules and questions at the following link (it's where I stole the answer from as well): http://www.boardgamegeek.com/thread/435348
