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 .

People drag it out to fuck by not following the actual rules, like saying "free parking" gets a bunch of money or that landing in a space and not buying it means it's automatically put up for auction. It's supposed to be ruthless and shorter but people drag it out because it is fundamentally unfair - which was the point of the game, lol.
