Though this is satire, we’ve all had that experience where we played a game (many times, even!) and only found out later that we got the rules massively wrong. Share your experience!

That’s what you get for paying out previously-collected fees when people land on “free parking,” failing to auction off property that the person who first landed on it didn’t want, or using other house rules to try to make Monopoly “fair” and “fun.”
If the first person who gets lucky enough to complete a property group doesn’t quickly and ruthlessly grind his opponents down into bankruptcy and make them hate both the game and capitalism itself, you’re doing it wrong.
People seem to forget the point of monopoly is as a social commentary to make you hate capitalism, rather than an RPG in which you learn all the things that make capitalism great.
The game is unbalanced and broken on purpose, if it is fair and everyone has an equal shot you aren’t playing monopoly
Eh, there’s an argument to be made that most of the common house rules do a better job of making people hate capitalism and the game :)
The best is a late game free parking “lottery” for a person who is behind followed by them landing on boardwalk with a hotel
