Backstory #15

A man pushes his car up to a hotel and knows right away that he's broke.

How does he know?

Hint 1

Don't picture a real car. Or a real hotel.

Hint 2

Where can you go broke just by landing on the wrong spot?

Hint 3

He's playing Monopoly.

Show the answer

He's playing Monopoly. His piece is the little car, and he just landed on a property where someone else has a hotel. The rent is more than everything he has left, so he's out of the game.
