There's no "being good" at a two dimensional dice rolling game that relies on people making dumb trades and never ends.

Just keep telling yourself that. It requires skill, good decision making and forward planning to win a game.

No it doesn't.
90% of the time someone lands on a space - they buy it. You're literally rolling a dice, buying something if you can afford it - hoping someone else doesn't get the properties you're missing, and eventually getting caught in a "who can take the dumber trade" infinite loop until the game ends.

If Monopoly games last forever, it means you're playing it wrong. Don't put money on the Free Parking spot, and auction off the properties you land on but don't buy

It is if you don't make house rules encouraging more trade.


The worst house rule is using Free Parking as a pot.

It's pretty bad. Worst ever? Probably not, but it is the worst "Popular" board game, which is a real shame since I think it's still probably the best selling board game in recent years.

Yea honestly other trade orientated games like Catan does this better than Monopoly.
Ooooh yeah. Catan isn't even a favorite of mine but it is centuries ahead of Monopoly in game design.

Why? 4:1 is already a heavy cost, and it accurately simulates what inefficient trading systems without dedicated ports would cost in terms of resource investment. Mechanically, it also helps to avoid the game grinding to a halt if a particular arrangement of resources and dice rolls prevents one resource from being accessible.

That's just a player issue, not a game issue. Also, some kingmaking is fine if, for instance, it's revenge for previous transgressions within the same game--If you've gone out of your way to bury someone in a game, I think it's fair play for the player to be able to kingmake against you.

I would double-check the rules.

A lot of people think they know how to play but actually play by an altered version of the rules that results in exactly this.

That's true. I don't know how many games we played where we never took an unwanted property to auction -_-

Get a monopoly in a cheap location. Build all properties up to 4 houses and NEVER upgrade into hotels, preventing your friends from ever getting a significant amount of houses (and subsequently hotels). Leverage this advantage as a slow burn and claim up yet more houses whenever available.

Sit back and dice roll as friends wither and die.
