That makes perfect sense; once the card has been played, there's no point in penalizing the player just because the card is not relevant for a little while (especially in a simple game like Monopoly Deal).

<p>In <a href="http://www.boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/40398/monopoly-deal-card-game">Monopoly Deal</a>, if I'm forced to sell off one of my properties, and that property is part of a complete set with a House on it, what happens to the House?</p>

<p>I would think it should be discarded, but this came up today and I wasn't sure what the proper ruling was.</p>

# What happens to the House card in Monopoly Deal if I lose my complete set?

(Asked by: username_0 on 2010-10-19)

In [Monopoly Deal](http://www.boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/40398/monopoly-deal-card-game), if I'm forced to sell off one of my properties, and that property is part of a complete set with a House on it, what happens to the House?

I would think it should be discarded, but this came up today and I wasn't sure what the proper ruling was.

During your turn, the House can be moved to any other set.

If you don't have one, or it isn't your turn then just leave the House on the table in play for you until you are able to attach it to a set again.
