I would think that if you could pay {qav'ap le'} you could pay
{cha'maH DarSeq}.
I haven't read all the cards yet, because not that many came up in
the game, and it seemed a bit like cheating, plus I wanted to
honestly show my qepHomies (who broke the shrinkwrap on the box) that
they could cover the English and I could unrehearsedly read the
Klingon side. Truth be told on some of the more complex cards the
Klingon instructions were CLEARER on what to pay. I hadn't played
Monopoly since I was about twelve, and we never used the hotels or
houses, because my parents said it made the game take too long. I
think it goes faster with raQmey monmey je. ghurtaHmo' qav'apmey tugh
DIllaHbe' vay' 'ej rIn Quj.
