Monopoly is certainly not my idea of a good time. The monotony comes from the number of times you have to see the same board state. It's not even that I don't like long games. In fact, I adore them - as long as they're interesting. I would highly recommend the following over Monopoly: Carcassonne, Medici, Taj Mahal, Tigris and Euphrates, Mensa Connection, The Confrontation, Civilisation, Age of Steam, Dampfross (Railway Rivals), The Lord of the Rings board game.
