> I wonder how Monopoly would play if you got assessed for Income Tax when you passed Go, or perhaps every fifth turn, instead of when you landed on a particular square.
The alternative game to ur-Monopoly, that is "Prosperity", had all rents split up when a player landed on a square. The property owner got a rent payment that reflected the value of the houses/hotels, whereas the rent on the land itself was paid to a common fund.[1]
