Or is "throw again" the same as "take another turn"? I'll have to check my rules to see if you can make the same inference.

Yeah, I could see it going the other way depending on minor text differences; the one answer that would really not make sense is losing the doubles _and_ the following turn. Either the reroll _is_ your next turn or it isn't; in neither case should you lose both. Edited answer accordingly.

Yep, mine says [take another turn](https://i.sstatic.net/e1BHx.jpg).

@DonielF The wording in your rules is sort of non-sensical. If rolling doubles gives you "another turn," you could never "roll a double 3 times in the same turn" and "Go To Jail."

<p>In Monopoly, if I roll doubles and land on Chance/Community Chest and receive a "lose your next turn" card, does that cancel my doubles and I get to take my next turn? Do I take my doubles and lose my next turn? Do I lose both?</p>

I don't recall a Monopoly card that causes you to lose your turn.  Which version are you playing?

Does a "lose your turn" card cancel doubles?

# Does a "lose your turn" card cancel doubles?

(Asked by: username_0 on 2017-04-19)

In Monopoly, if I roll doubles and land on Chance/Community Chest and receive a "lose your next turn" card, does that cancel my doubles and I get to take my next turn? Do I take my doubles and lose my next turn? Do I lose both?

In [a version of the rules](https://www.hasbro.com/common/instruct/monins.pdf) hopefully not too different from yours, doubles are described like this:

> If you throw doubles, you move your token as usual... **Retaining the dice, throw again**...

It does **not** say "take another turn", so the extra move from doubles is still part of the same turn even though the action you're taking looks a lot like a new turn. Thus if you are told to "lose your **next** turn" after rolling doubles, you should still finish your current turn normally by rolling again.

If however your rules (or insistent other players) say the reroll *is* a new turn, then since it's your next turn you would lose it, but you would *not* lose the following turn.
