The New Yorker Deal

The New Yorker Deal is a strategy that involves a player who owes money to another player the option to not pay by allowing the right to first refusal of a named property. The name originates from the first time the strategy was implemented using New York Ave as the bargaining chip. This strategy is controversial and may or may not be allowed during game play, depending on personal preferences.

Implementing The New Yorker Deal
An example of implementing The New Yorker Deal would be the following:
# You have a hotel on Vermont Ave that another player lands on.
# The player can not pay you without selling his or her houses.
# You agree in lieu of payment to a New Yorker Deal.
# You own 2 orange properties, but need the 3rd, which is New York Ave.
# New York Ave is unowned.
# You agree that if the player who owes you lands on it, you can buy it from them at face value.
# The debtor now owes you no money, and now owes you only New York Ave if he or she lands on it.

New Yorker Deal Notes
# If someone else lands on New York Ave and purchases it before you or the debtor, you get nothing from the debtor.
# Being in jail when the debtor lands on New York Ave does not affect the deal. You can still buy it from them at face value.
# The deal can be made with any property, not only New York Ave, this is just the name of the deal.
# The deal does not expire until the property is landed on, or until you go bankrupt.

Variations On The New Yorker Deal
There are several variations on The New Yorker Deal:
# If the debtor does not want to make a New Yorker Deal you can add an incentive, for instance a property card you own.
# You can make the same New Yorker Deal with 2 or more people, increasing your chances of owning that property.
# You can add your own incentives and variations to The New Yorker Deal.
