Playing Monopoly as an adult was a totally different experience. The game can finish fast if we all played aggressively and willing to trade, but we did not as we wanted to kill time during a lockdown. The key is to be enterprising in the trades you offer. Get the two brown ones first anyhow and with any kind of trade, and then for anything, if you are feeling stuck, offer to slash the rent, or even rent free. Then comes the installments or things like giving rent for next three rounds and stuff like that. As a kid, never thought about those, but now, with these new rules, it became more interesting and exciting to play. I tipped this to my nine year old nephew yesterday, and I guess I will get a call from his mom in a few days about ruining the game for them.
- jimmyvalmer 7y agoBrown ones? Installments? No one has any idea what you're talking about.
- SyrupThinker 7y agoYou should not speak for others, parent obviously talks about the lowest value properties (colored brown) and upgrades such as houses and hotels.
- jimmyvalmer 7y agoFair, but ftr, parent meant "installment" to mean financing not "improvement", and my 1980s edition has the lowest value properties colored purple. And if anyone can parse "Get the two brown ones first anyhow and with any kind of trade, and then for anything, if you are feeling stuck, offer to slash the rent," then color me a buffoon indeed.
- ankit219 7y agoThe brown ones are the cheapest properties just next to the go square. Installments in the sense that if you cant pay x amount in 1 go, you can pay after 3-4 rounds, or take it out of rent. Just some offline modification we made to play the game.
