Oh and don't get me started on unbalanced properties, holy fuck. It's still bad as it's the same shit every time. That's using the rules about auctioning posted above by the way, yes games only need to last 1 hour tooooops when people know what they are doing. It's only hope at being fun is playing it at parties when you're drunk, guess what almost anything can be made fun at that point. But once you figure it out every game is the same amongst adults, the only variation is who gets the RNG luck on their side initially and starts to snowball, it's fun for maybe 10 minutes while people start trading, houses are built, then boom it's over and everyone just concedes to save time, no one leaves satisfied, because even winning has near 0 skill necessary. It might have been fun at one point when I was a kid with all the strategic grasp and savvy of a blind lemur on speed, who couldn't even finish the C&C campaign. It doesn't suck, it's just kind of mediocre. Monopoly isn't as terrible as everyone thinks it is, they're just completely ignoring the rules.

The REAL rules of Monopoly are actually VERY different from how people play. *75th Anniversary edition and Coronation Street edition. It was always rough getting money since we didn't pay you for passing Go until you passed both boards, at which point we'd pay you $200 in both curecncies. You had to buy properties from each board with their respective currencies, but could trade different currencies amongst ourselves.
We once put two boards* in a figure 8 and you'd change boards when you pass Go. It forces them to sell off or mortgage other properties for cash to build, and it quickly establishes complete sets.

I'll trade you the piece you need to complete your set for all the money you currently have plus three free stays on your property. The best thing we ever did was establish free rent as bargaining chips.
All you have to do is hand them the dice. It's also good for the blind couple since they have the board memorized, know all the values of everything and can keep track of it all in their head.
