No, there's two. So getting both in one game and one in the next is pretty bad odds.

Well, even with only two, it's possible to get it three times.  IIRC, used dev cards are supposed to be placed on the bottom of the pile, and thus can be rebought (excepting Soldier cards, which you need to keep to track for Largest Army, and Victory Point cards for obvious reasons).

My housemate will achieve it. He seems to have absurd luck, like, if I didn't not believe in certain people being lucky, seeing him play would probably make me believe. He's played Catan twice, bought four Development cards total and gotten three Monopolies. He opens 5/2 about 50% of the time. It's just, I know there's cognitive bias, but it's just crazy. MS and +card trashers are going to lead to him achieving some mad stuff.

Might be better if he just pulled all the VP dev cards.  Are there even three Monopolies in the deck?

Play with Cities and Knights!  Monopoly isn't as broken in the expansion.

There's only 2 Monopolies, unless you're playing with the 5-6 player expansion.

I was just wondering this - glad I found this thread.

So, just to be clear:

1) I have a hand of Death Cart, Rats, and three Estates.
2) I play Death Cart.
3) I trash Rats to the Death Cart.
4) Trashing Rats draws a card, which is Market Square.
5) I can then reveal and discard Market Square, gaining a Gold.

Right?

yes.
