your friend sk posted:the rules say explicitly that there have to be houses in the stock to buy them (no replacement pieces). so if you put four houses on all of your properties, you can prevent players from buying anything other than hotels. since you have to keep properties evenly spaced on a group it means you'd have to buy three hotels immediately which is too expensive to manage sorry to necro but the post goldmine led me here its worse than that, you can't buy a hotel unless you have 4 houses on each property in a completed color group (so you need to have built 8-12 houses before you can build your first hotel) page 6 sorry it's jacked up it's ocr copy paste from the pdf posted:HOTELS: When a player has four houses on each property of a the last time i played this game someone played this strategy. it took two hours. thank goodness we were outside drinking beers and not caring about the game that much

Imagine getting to roleplay as the most exciting and beloved of jobs: landlords and bankers!

more falafel please posted:sorry to necro but the post goldmine led me here This is how I always played it. My wife and I actually came up with a rules tweak that makes Monopoly almost enjoyable. You can build on any property without needing a monopoly. Building costs the price on the card to the bank, then you have to throw 6 or lower on the dice to get the upgrade. If you throw 7 or higher, you lose the money and try again. We were curious what the other game was that the Shaker nuns made to demonstrate how communal property was a better idea, and came up with these rules. It's neat, you really don't know who's going to win until the end, and it's less of a slog. There are still better games, though. We've been playing Gin Rummy a lot. |

TBF a glass eating contest is a more fun game than Monopoly.
