- dang 9y agoOk we put that in the title and added its year for good measure.
- pavel_lishin 9y agoPlease, no family play-through of Monopoly lasts for longer than three hours - that's the maximum amount of time before mom locks herself in the bathroom to chainsmoke, and dad begins to angrily saw apart random wood in the garage, leaving the children to form grudges that will last well into their 40s.
- sethrin 9y agoThe game's popularity is sort of ironic. It was designed to be unfair, in order to demonstrate the harmful power that monopolists accrue. That it results in the situations you describe could also be said to be by design.
- aidenn0 9y agoMonopoly usually goes pretty fast though; I've never had a game take longer than 2 hours. Are you auctioning off properties that the person who lands on declines to buy? Missing that rule tends to make the game take longer.
