@Egooist. oddly enough, if monopoly is played according to the printed rules by people who actually know how the game works... to my recollection it takes maybe half an hour, with quite a bit of that time taken up with resolving auctions. It's also very dull.

@tlpineapple1 The best/worst part is that the vast majority of the various houserules that supposedly 'fix' the game actually compound its problems (from a gameplay point of view). However, when you realise that the main point in most of them is not to make the game play better, but to increase how long a game keeps the children occupied while minimising the number of tantrums thrown, thereby freeing up the adult in charge of the group to carry out more productive tasks, then it makes quite a bit more sense.
