  <ol start="2">
  <li>Does the Double The Rent card count as a turn? Does it count as one of your three plays? Yes. An example would be a player lays a property

In my eyes: Playing card with, only implies that otherwise it is useless. Normally it wouldn't matter but really matter but if no change is given for excess payments, it mattered a lot in this case

If no change is given then yes I see why it might make a difference now.  I still stand by argument reasoning that you play WITH.  also that card says double THE rent.  there is only one rent still.  It doesn't say charge rent again.

I like that reasoning. "THE" rent is singular. It's doubled.

Agree, always assumed this was the amount of the (single) rent was doubled, not "two rents".

According to card description, the **amount** is doubled. No words about separate payments.

Monopoly deal - double the rent

# Monopoly deal - double the rent

(Asked by: username_0 on 2020-04-04)

I have a full blue property set and ask the rent (8million) and play a double the rent card, which would make it 16 million in total.

Do they have to pay me 2 x 8 million or 1 x 16 million?

Arguments made by us were: it are two separate cards, so payments should be separate. **or** the cards should be played simultaneously, so the payment is combined in one.

Which is correct?

Looking at the rules [here](http://monopolydealrules.com/index.php?page=instructionbook#top) the rules clarification for Double the Rent says (emphasis mine)

> Play **with** a standard rent card to double the amount

The FAQ link to [here](http://monopolydealrules.com/index.php?page=rent#question-rent-2) it says

> 2. Does the Double The Rent card count as a turn? Does it count as one of your three plays? Yes. An example would be a player lays a property
>    card, a rent card, and a double the rent card during their turn. This
>    would be all three of their card plays.

So based on that i would says that 'Double the rent' is playing **with** (ie simultaneously) with the rent card. The payment is 1 x 16 million lump sum because 'Double the Rent' and 'Rent' are played at exactly the same time.

I'm confused as to why asking for 16 million once over 8 million twice makes a difference as I've only played this once many years ago under duress and just checked the rules to answer this.
