There is no rule allowing money to be stockpiled in the middle of the board.

Also, when someone lands on an unowned property, either they buy it, or the property is auctioned off to the highest bidder.

Finally, you can't build a hotel on a property unless you first build houses there. If there are no houses available, then you have to wait until there are houses available.

Following the rules as written actually makes the game enjoyable (and it doesn't take 4 hours to play.)

"We've always played it that way" is all well and good, but the Buffalo Bills have always played sportsball that way, which kinda suggests doing it the same way over and over doesn't make it the right way.

Go on... dig out the game from its shelf in the basement and try playing by the actual rules once. It makes a huge difference!

I think the best way to play is just to make up the rules as you go. And if someone is running low on cash, then just give them some from the bank or have whomever is on the lead give up some of their assets. And remove the go to jail cards.

No, no... that's how you play "Democrat Mayor," not Monopoly.

It is not a real democrat city until all the properties are taxed every turn, every roll of dice is taxed, all the rents are havily reduced. Then 80% of those taxes go into the pocket of the mayor and the rest is used to throw scraps to the poorest players for votes.

No one loses, unless you consider being perpetually in poverty losing, but no one is allowed to win. Except the mayor of course.

Don't forget losing a house randomly due to slum tenants, riots...

Sounds like a board game most of the population would enjoy.

That only works for kikes and niggers.

Those go to jail cards need to remain for the red house owners.
