settling a family argument with a fedi poll
Poll is in the reply!
You land on the chance tile shown here and pick up the card that says "Advance to the nearest station."

@wallhackio All normal logic would say Pennsylvania, since dice movement is clockwise. But I can't find a published version of the rules that specifies that all movement must be clockwise (and the current version from Hasbro only mentions direction when in conjunction with the dice roll). So upon further review I'm saying Reading, and well-spotted to whoever pushed that interpretation.
re: settling a family argument with a fedi poll
@aschmitz the game explicitly allows movement in both directions in multiple situations:
1) a community chest card that has you move back three spaces
2) the fact that you go can go to jail without passing "GO" by either rolling doubles three times in a row, landing on the go to jail square, or by collecting certain chance or community chest cards
However, with this specific "Advance to the nearest station" is the fact that the card says "Advance" which many take to imply that you should move counterclockwise. If that is the case then we must clarify the meaning of "nearest." Is Reading Railroad nearest even if you move counterclockwise? Is California still near to Nevada if you fly west to get there?

@wallhackio If you thought taxicab geometry was weird, get ready for Monopoly geometry!
re: settling a family argument with a fedi poll
@wallhackio @aschmitz and then there's the fact that the "nearest" station changes as you move. as soon as you get past jail, the nearest station because Penn Stn anyway, so you pretty much have to stop there.

@wallhackio Well, "nearest" may not necessarily be in the advancement direction either. Does this mean you pass Go?
