It's an annoying and stupid game. It's all about being a landlord. One or two players are lucky and they are the only ones having a good time. The rest of the players are spending their time losing.

"Well ackshually, Monopoly was originally called 'The Landlord Game' and was all about how landlording was bad" — I don't care, you're still spending an evening pretending to be a landlord to your loved ones. The game is completely unenjoyable because it emulates capitalism too well.

Fuck off with competitive boardgames. Give me games that are merely facilitating having fun and being social and where only nerds keep score, like charades or pictionary .

    I'm pretty sure the second part to the "well ackshually rant" is that Monopoly isn't supposed to be fun and you're not really supposed to play it if you already get the point. Of course it sucks.

      The third part of it is the official rule for fast play which makes the game more fun if still boring.

      If you do not wish to buy the property, the Banker sells it at auction to the highest bidder. The buyer pays the Bank the amount of the bid in cash and receives the Title Deed card for that property. Any player, including the one who declined the option to buy it at the printed price, may bid. Bidding may start at any price.
