How to estimate it
Fermi’s official “Napkin math”
Most of the 40 squares on the board are for sale, so you are looking at about 28 deeds. What does the average one cost? The cheapest is $60, Boardwalk is $400, and the climb between them is steady, so call it $200.
- Deeds on the board
- ≈ 28
- Average price
- ≈ $200
- 28 × 200
- ≈ $5,600
Rounded assumptions may give a slightly different estimate. The official answer above is the game’s reference value.
