Most people don't hate actual Monopoly, they hate the house rules version of it. ~~Rent~~ Utilities go in the bank, Free Parking is just an empty space. If you don't buy the property it goes to auction.
Monopoly was literally designed to be terrible, it's a sardonic statement against capitalism expressed as a game that's meant to tire you out. The house rules definitely make it worse, but Monopoly isn't a good game without them, or even intended to be.
I still hate actual Monopoly because it's all about fucking over everyone else. I don't mind competitive over cooperative in a board game, but Monopoly pretty much always rewards asshole behavior.
Welcome to America! The game where the points don’t matter (if you’re rich), the rules are made up (if you’re rich), and grandpa swindling all the college funds is the entire point (to get rich).
I learnt about the auctions while playing a Monopoly videogame.
But I can't find anywhere where it says rent goes in the bank 🤔
Yeah I meant utilities, my bad.
Oh OK, that makes more sense
