"now here's one you can really sink your teeth into -- "marvin gardens." part of the infamous trio of yellow properties, marvin gardens is a deceptively pricey hot spot that, when garnished with a plastic hotel, costs an amazing 1,200 bucks to visit. the "yellows" are often overlooked because they're, well, yellow -- but honestly, marvin and his two lemony friends are truly the covert game-breakers of monopoly. it's always the ones you least suspect, and few ever consider the pitfalls of landing on a seemingly harmless yellow rectangle with the word "gardens" in the title. ventnor and atlantic round out this particular monopoly, but clearly, marvin gardens led the pack."
