# Does playing a "Double Rent" card in Monopoly Deal count against your card play total on a turn?

(Asked by: username_0 on 2014-04-24)

According to the Action Card directions on a Double Rent card, it can *only* be played with a Rent card.

Given that it is the only card that cannot be played alone, does it count against your total cards played count for a given turn (which cannot exceed 3)?
