Monopoly

1935 | Business / Industrial | Economic

It's the fast-dealing property trading game where players buy, sell, dream and scheme their way to riches. This version of the Monopoly game welcomes the Rubber Ducky, Tyrannosaurus Rex, and Penguin into its family of tokens. Choose your token, place it on GO! and roll the dice to own it all! There can be only one winner in the Monopoly game. Will it be you?

The thrill of bankrupting an opponent, but it pays to play nice, because fortunes could change with the roll of the dice. Experience the ups and downs by collecting property colors sets to build houses, and maybe even upgrading to a hotel! The more properties each player owns, the more rent can be charged. Chance cards could be worth money, or one might just say Go To Jail!

Ruins families, destroys friendships and all without even finishing the game
Monopoly is one of those games that everyone owns somewhere in their closet and have played at least a few times but since it is a long freaking game most people never seem to actually finish it.

In all my life I've only ever finished 3 games of monopoly and I'm glad to say I'm undefeated.. Woop woop.


When it comes to monopoly I've always been a house rules type of person the actual rules of the game take a lot of fun out of the game.

An absolute classic
This was our go to family dinner game alongside @Cluedo Super Sleuth, @Trivial Pursuit: Master Edition, @Scrabble and @UNO Rummy-Up (though technically that's a card game). And by the end of the night, cold shoulders, passive aggressiveness, and gloating was also very common hence we had to ban them.

But it's an absolute classic, and as a cautious spender, I tended to lose miserably and most of the London places have now been gentrified so the brown areas no longer exist, hence I've no places to buy anymore. Alas many pleasant memories.

I'm fairly confident that I've never finished a game of Monopoly in my life. It's just so involved and takes forever to get going. Many fights in my family have occurred over this game.

This is sole purpose of this game. To cause fights, show you how bad monopoly are and also this game would never get published today, if it was never invented. It's just not a good game.... I'd love to get more reviews on board games from you...

Ruins families and friendships without fun
Roll the dice. Move. Completely luck based and it’s not even fun. Why dear god is this the game everyone owns. It’s like if speed 2 was the movie everyone watched. Ugh.

I like Monopoly. It is a long game, but these days, a lot of tabletop games are. Unfortunately, the length can cause some people to not want to play it or would rather play something with more flavor. For this reason, I'm pretty sure I've only played 2 complete games in my life.

The best way to ruin friendships
The classic monopoly game really brings out the worst in people, as the need to keep giving the same person money repeatedly becomes very frustrating. When playing with kids, I have found we have to agree that once someone has bought the first property of a group, nobody can buy the rest. Without such rules anarchy would reign.
The game takes quite a long time to play and technically only ends when someone runs out of money and properties completely, which can take days.
Not really enjoyable but an excellent concept (the junior version is much better).

Either a really good game, or a really bad game
I love this game. My family and I always used to play this in the school holidays so it always has a lovely memory attached to it. On the other hand, it has been the cause of a few arguments and sore losers as you can probably imagine. Nevertheless, when you can get through a game without arguing it is so fun to play.
It is a massively long game if you are playing in large groups though or people refuse to trade cards and help the game progress. We used to have to either play until an ungodly hour in the morning or put the game aside and continue playing the next night. So if you're after a quick game, Monopoly is a no-no.


Additionally, we used to play card games and use Monopoly money as currency. So there's that use too if you're not feeling up for a massive board game.
