In this video:
Few board games have the ability to cause arguments like Monopoly, an unsurprising fact given the object of the game it was based on (see: Who Invented Monopoly?) was to send your opponent to the poor house while you bask in the pleasures of immense wealth and prosperity. In the eight decades or so the game has existed, the rules of Monopoly haven’t really changed all that much, but because everyone “knows” how to play, how people actually play the game has slowly diverged from what the actual rule book, which nobody ever bothers to read, says. In anticipation of various family get-togethers coming up this holiday season, in which you’ll no doubt be subjected to a game of Monopoly at some point, in this article, we’re going to correct the various ways you’ve probably been playing Monopoly wrong your whole life.

@DisregardedHappiness 5 лет назад

There's only one problem with this video and it is that landing on the "go" space does in fact mean that you get double the money ($400). Here's the excerpt from the rules: If the player lands on or passes Go in the course of his or her turn, he or she receives $200 from the Bank. A player has until the beginning of his or her next turn to collect this money. If a player lands on go then the money collected is doubled.

The problem, which the uploader pointed out, is that the fastest way to play the game is by playing the official rules. People don't realize how severe the domino effect is when you introduce some made up rule like loaning other players money. The console/PC version Monopoly Plus is even faster. Everything is automated and fast. Games rarely take longer than 2 hours on those versions.

Trading adds a huge element to the game. Instead of merely rolling dice and getting lucky you also have to barter with your opponents. Having allies is often the difference between victory or defeat, be careful though, for your reputation carries to future rounds. Also auctions are hilarious.

@jffry890 2 года назад

Same with Risk. People are too-averse to making deals because they think it's cheating. Not saying that you should trade territories in Risk (because that's fucking stupid) but you should make alliances in attacking other players.

@yellowpowr8455 Год назад

Probably nobody read the rules, and unlike a lot of other games where the rules are much more self-explanitory, Monopoly probably suffers from millions of people collectively reiterating the rules wrong, and thus other people tell new people the rules wrong, and so on and so forth.

It's due to the terrible house rules. The tax is there to reduce the money in the game, which significantly speeds up the game. People usually start with too much starting money. We used to played without auctions, when I was a kid, so you had to land on property to buy it and you could only build houses on your set if you landed on one of those streets again. With these rules you usually had to pass go 3-4 times before the game got kind of interesting.

Free Parking Space will end up being a Mandela Effect despite the fact that the space was meant to do nothing for players that landed on it. It’ll happen as years go by and people will believe it as “fact” that Free Parking means to collect the money taxed throughout the game.

I agree. A lot of these games are made to function a specific way and throwing in house rules when you don't really understand the larger impact of those house rules can make the game significantly worse. I personally dislike Monopoly, but after seeing this video, I'm pretty sure the reason I don't like it is because of the house rules everyone plays with. I'd love to try a game of Monopoly using strictly rules as written.

@DrGerbils 7 лет назад

All games should be played by the rules agreed to before the game begins. Based on the presumption that the game's designer might have put a bit more thought into it than whatever moron came up with that Free Parking jackpot house rule, the written rules should be used unless a good case can be made to modify them. Every house rule I have ever heard of for Monopoly does one of two things. It either dumbs down the game or makes it longer. I have never understood the appeal of making an already annoyingly long game longer

Like you I never enjoyed the game, and agree that these rules are better. But then... any rule that makes the game faster is an improvement. For us the rule is that the game is not allowed to take up space in our house. Speeds things up immensely.

Here are some fun facts to add as well. After the success of Monopoly (Owned by Parker Brothers at the time) Milton Bradly wanted to make their own version and called it Easy Money. It's a similar premise to Monopoly, move your player around multiple properties and be the last one standing. What's odd is some of the rules will sound familiar. There are spaces on the board for "accidents". Either Car or Plane, which the player needs to pay the hospital for. This money goes in the center of the board (not the bank), and can only be collected by the player who lands on the Hospital (sound like free Parking?). The other thing is the stipulation of buying properties. Before a player can improve their properties (add another house) , or buy more, they must first buy a property on each of the 4 sides on the board (similar to the not buying property until rounding the board once). One pretty big difference though is the end of the game. It's Monopoly it's last player standing. Here, as soon as one player is Bankrupt, the games ends. Whoever has the most amount of Money Wins. I love both games, but I find people more willing to play Easy Money than Monopoly.

@TrueLucinova 2 года назад

I don't think I've ever heard of needing to circle the board before buying properties, and I've always been aware of auctioning off the properties you decline to buy, but my family has done the Free Parking tax money; I find it interesting, but really, it makes sense that different people would have different combinations of made-up rules... still fun to think about lol

Not really. You have so much starting money that the actual chance of buying the street you need via auction is very unlikely. Usually you end up with a stalemate or the incredibly slow death of one player followed by a sprint for property and another period of stagnation or slow death. This is why professional monopoly is horseshit. Yes there is strategy here but the luck of the dice is still far more relevant for your success rate.

@SLOBeachboy 5 лет назад

aBoogivogi - Actually Monopoly is very much a game of skill when played by the rules, and I have always played strictly by the rules, even as a child. It is not luck that I have not lost a single game of Monopoly in over 45 years, its skill. In fact, I once took over for a friend who was loosing badly and, not only did I come back from behind, but I completely wiped out the other players in less than an hour. Obviously there is a degree of chance involved in Monopoly, just as there is in Poker, but in both of these games the most skilled players will always come out on top.

@aBoogivogi 5 лет назад

If your definition of a skill based game is poker then yeah I understand why you would think this makes monopoly skill based. Don't get me wrong there are skills involved in poker, but at the end of the day luck is still more important. Sure you can still win by bluffing now and then, but in the long run luck of the draw will win every time. Naturally playing on the kitchen table with a few friends and shuffling by hand with a single deck is wildly different. At the end of the day a dice game where you have very little control of the flow of the game aside from rolling a dice will never be particularly skill based. There is no long term strategy that ensures your revenue it's all down to the roll of the dice of other players. Heck when getting put in jail is a viable mid to late game strategy something is fucking wrong with your game.

My family never knew you could do auctions.I found this out myself from watching youtube, and announced this rule midgame when I'm a few hundred dollars ahead of everyone.My mum eventually stopped everyone to do any bidding because it was unfair.

But unfortunately just two players... I've always thought Chess could be far more exciting with an expanded board incorporating more players in a single game (perhaps like an X shape for 4 players or something). Seems like a pretty simple tweak not really requiring any major changes to the rules, excepting maybe a slight modification to pawn movements and any game that didn't have, say, a minute clock or something would probably be intolerable with too many players. It might also be interesting to have the rule be if you or an alliance defeats another's king, you or your alliance is awarded all the player's remaining pieces (divided up in the case of an alliance). Last King standing wins.

:: lands on free parking first :: :: places hotel and informs other players the price for rent :: "Its not your property!" - "Yeah it is, I landed on it first and the tile clearly says it's free" "Well, you can't make up your own price for rent." - "If you concede that it's in fact my property, you also concede the fact that I can charge what I want" "You have to buy houses before you buy hotels anyway" - "That doesn't make any sense. When you build a hotel you build it on vacant land. In fact, this land is quite big, so I think I'll build two hotels"

Or you could just lean in real close and whisper: It’s free real-estate!

I like your thinking.... all properties are up for sale..... might be more profitable to just buy the 4 corners

This reminds me about a video from a channel called Brewstew. The person talking in the video literally once bought a Community Chest space.

You can apply it to to driving these days too: "The official rules have gradually become ignored, presumable because everyone just how to play and teaches others to play based on their knowledge, with nobody in many decades bothering to read the rule book. House rules make the game significantly more time consuming and more boring" 🤣

That's great! It definitely explains modern city drivers, lol.

My favorite Monopoly rule change: you can buy ALL associated properties upon landing upon say Boardwalk meaning that you can purchase Boardwalk AND Park Place if you so desire or even ALL four Railroad properties if you land on one IMMEDIATELY. It makes for fast, intense play.
