It can be OK when you and a bunch of friends are bored outta your skulls. It's more fun when there's absolutely nothing else to do. I remember completing a game of Monopoly on a summer afternoon when everything was too quiet.

The game is evil, it really is. My father tricks other (not myself) into selling him their property when they don't have enough money. Which of course in the long run is going to give him the advantage. I remember I was down to my last dollar once and then BAM! I became a millionair. 8D My family puts money in the center of the board, and whomever lands on Parking gets it all. Nobody had landed on it for quite a while, so the lot was a pretty big. My family has our own way of playing the game, tis fun. :)

I must agree with you. Monopoly is an evil game, too evil for my brains...
Anyway, I used to play a lot when I was younger. And my games were usually with my sister. I remember making her crying by playing this business game. I don't remember the reasons though...

I haven't played monopoly in years. I used to play it with my brother, and when he would say "be right back, need toilet", I'd pinch a few $100 notes from his stash xD That brings back memories of being the big mean sister xD

Although Monopoly is boring.

I find that it becomes so boring, and you don't want to be that guy who's like 'I'm calling it quits'. The one thing that I like about Monoply is that they have so many different versions, even though it's still the same boring game.

I used to like Monopoly when I was a kid, but I think it was only because I wasn't good enough at the game for it to last forever. The last time I tried to play, I think the game went on for about 10 hours before we all just gave up and quit playing it.
Monopoly is a very evil game. If you're playing with enough people that play in the right sort of way, the game can last forever. :roll:

LOL I love monopoly it took me, my friend, and her little sister (who's also my friend) 5 hours once... last Tuesday to be exact. My friend was winning like CRAZY at first and I bet her that she'd run out of money first and I was the poorest at the time XD but in the end she lost first, then her sister and I was the winner XD plus we get extra hyper whenever we play the game

I don't like it much because the tides turn so often.
You could be at it for a VERY long time.
Usually when I play, the winner is the last one willing to play.

Lasted so long I was bored.
Actually I usually lose at the end, even when I'm doing well for most of the game. I end up going bankrupt over real estate.

I think it's a great game. That i, if you play it right.
It's harsh sounding, but you have to be ruthless in that game. My cousin Frank taught me that, since he wiped us all out within 2 hours of playing.
Mind you, playin the game is half the fun, board games shouldn't ever go on for less than an hour and a half, in my opinion. Th whole point is not to finish as fast as you can, but to spend time hanging out and having fun.
Sometimes when we play we laugh so hrd at random things we start to cry and gasp for breath....it's all in not taking things too seriously when you play. I mean i have yet to win once haha!

Oh man Monopoly really is a long game. x_x I don't think I could play it straight through without taking any breaks. About two years ago, my neighbor and I decided to play it. So I got it out and put it on my bedroom floor and we played until she had to go home. Then I just left it there, we were gonna finish the next time she came over. Well anyway, we played like that for a while. Every time she came over, we'd play a bit of Monopoly. It ended up going on for weeks. And then one week my friend had invited me to the beach with her. So I was at the beach with her for a whole week. But I told my mom not to touch that Monopoly game so she didn't. And when I got back, we continued the Monopoly game and finally, not long after that, my neighbor was sick of it and just wanted to quit. XD And I was winning anyway and it was just getting boring and repetitive. I think that is the last time I played Monopoly in real life. I've found that playing it online on a game site makes it go much faster, and I've done that a few times with my boyfriend and some other friends.

I haven't played Monopoly for a long time on the board.
One friend was a really bad loser and walked off in the middle of a game cause I colluded with another friend.
I like playing it on the consoles because you can't cheat on the console.
Anyone ever heard of the rules variant where fines go in the middle of the board and whoever lands on Free Parking gets the money in the middle of the board?

I always do the money in the middle of the board thing. I only do it with the taxes though like income tax and luxury tax you land on, and the various taxes and fines in the Chance and Community Chest cards. The money from buying property and houses and stuff goes into the bank like normal.

It's not a very fast game, so that's probably what turns me off. I like faster board games, like CandyLand.

I hate monopoly it takes hours to complete and my brothers are ruthless. They always want to play but they got sick of playing with only two players and claim that it is more fun with more.
Plus I got sick of loosing all the time.

It most definately can be the longest game of the century if no one wishes to risk it an sell as well as trade their landmarks. Haha. I used to play it with my cousins and my grandma. My cousins never wanted to sell or trade their landmarks for mine so it was really frustrating. Everyone kept screaming at each other telling each other that this game will never end if we don't do something about it. So we also ended up quitting. ^^; ! XD

It takes so long and then people won't sell you things because they're afraid you'll take over the board. Then after an hour of it, you just want to run around screaming that you had money and now it's all gone.
Did I mention I suck at this stupid game? It drives me bananas.

It is such a long game but it is also very addictive. I always end up going back. I just love the game.
It is hard to get people to play with you because it is such a long game. I always end up being the little cowboy thing on the horse I love it. It is just easier to grab lol. That or the ship. I used to like being the car my mom always played the dog.
I remember when we had a lot of people playing I got upset because I was the iron thing when I was younger. You think of that as automatically bad luck or something lol.

I like being the dog or the car. When I was a kid I'd always pick either of those. Now I don't really care as much and I'll pick other ones sometimes just for a change.
