Houses and hotels in the Monopoly game are very important elements to be able to win.
Houses
As soon as you have all the properties of a color group, you can start buying houses. You can construct houses even when it’s not your turn.
However, you cannot build a second house on a property until you have built one on each property in the color group.
The maximum number of houses on a property is 4.
Hotels
Once you have 4 houses on every property in a color group, you have the ability to buy hotels.
You can only have one hotel on a property.
When you build a hotel, all of the houses that were on the property go back to the bank.
