It's so that there can be a contrast shown between how every day people play and how experts play, and also gives a baseline for people of "this is how most people think of/play the game" so then the "right" way to play can springboard off of that and change that assumption set by the non-experts.

I know you're just joking, but don't be the banker. one of the rules of monopoly is that you can squat on people's property. If someone lands on your property, and you don't notice until after the next person rolls the dice, that someone doesn't have to pay you rent. If you are the banker, you have something distracting you from the board. there have been times where I've gotten away with not paying, and other times when I've lost hundreds or thousands of dollars in rent because I got distracted.

Huh, I'm from australia and there's no such thing as boardwalk in our standard version, it's all english places, always thought they were the same in every country but apparently not.

[@rogink]

I think the standard US Monopoly is based on Atlantic City, hence the Boardwalk. That doesn't sound anything special, unlike Park Lane and Mayfair, which are in one of the most expensive places to live in the world!

Standard Italian version has streets names from the most expensive Italian cities. I think each country has its own to make it more meaningful.

My uncle and I played monopoly for 4 days straight. I absolutely refused to lose. I monopolize on every other color on the board. It was no money left in the bank, and all the hotels were on the board. He owned Marvin gardens(yellow) and park place( blue) and for some reason I would always land on blue or yellow going around. It was terrifying rolling those dice after you pass Illinois(red). Eventually he took me for all my money then I had to sell off my hotels, then houses, and finally the deeds themselves. I was devastated I never played again.

[@ahmadalhuzaifa6821]

Me and my cousins play monopoly in a quite different way, i am sure some of you might like it...there is 3 extra concept added.. 1) we form a team of 2 player and usually 3 teams used to play the game( 6 players but there can be 4 teams if 8 players are there). 2) Intuitively you know that you ll enjoy the game if there is a competition in the game. So to increase competition we put limitations on the no. Of deeds( Sites, stations and utilities). Which is 4 for each player and 8 for each team( or in case of 4 teams, 3 for each player and 6 for each team). As a consequence you ll see that each team gets a equal no. Of deeds with difference of just 1 or 2. 3) Now the best rule we came up is of dealing window which opens once, when each and every deeds is bought up by the teams, So now to make a monopoly on different sites we make a deal with other team to complete our 3 or 2 deeds of same colour to build hotel or houses.. And then follow the rest of the rules of monopoly honestly, and be loyal to the banker, i am sure you ll enjoy more than the classical or bookish version of monopoly...

[@enriquemercedes9519]

As a kid my strategy was to buy up everything I land on no matter my cash flow. It worked out very well in my household. I would be able to have monopolies quickly! I would buy the cheap properties next to boardwalk and put hotels on them. My family would wonder why I would pay a pretty penny to have those two cheap properties. It always worked in my favor though. I would be very aggressive in trading almost paying everything I got just to get the last color in the property set in order to start building houses. I love monopoly!

I think he's referring to the idea that you don't know someone until you fight them; at which point, you see who they really are. Even if it's just in a game, how they act there is a good indicator of how they'll act in real-life stress scenarios. And yeah: honor doesn't mean you won't beat someone - rather, it indicates HOW you beat them, and what you do when you win (or loose). It's called good sportsmanship, but yeah - that's just another way of saying "honor".

All my years of playing, we never auctioned the property. I wasn't taught that, but just learned that a few days ago reading the instructions. Also, we used to put money on free parking....never understood why and never questioned it. I don't do that anymore. I rather play the correct way. I've noticed they added new board pieces to the game, have a new money holder and added a few different cards to community chest and chance. One new card I've noticed is the take all the $100s out the back and toss them in the air. Whoever's catches them keep them and the ones that wasn't goes back to the bank.

[@tresnonugroho6397]

My rule of thumb of playing Monopoly: At the start of the game, whenever I landed on a buyable property, I buy. By first or second lap, whoever has the most property will more likely win.

[@TheGerkuman]

The most common house rule is the free parking stuff but the most important rules people forget are that you have to auction off a property if you land on it and don't want to buy it, and especially the 10% rule on mortgages. If you mortgage a property for $100, then you'll be paying $110 to unmortgage it. And if you bankrupt someone, get their mortgaged properties and can't afford or don't want to unmortgage them, then you pay 10% for each you choose not to unmortgage.

I have the handheld game (made in 1997) and have played a few thousand games on it and won 98% of them. The great thing with the handheld is, the official rules are built in...when you play with real people the rules vary with whose house you're playing at. The reason I win so much is because the computer opponents are limited in what they can do; they can only do what the programmers put into them. All the same, you can still learn strategies from it. First and foremost, buy everything you land on (just so your opponents can't have it) and next, never sell or trade a property to an opponent if it is going to give them a monopoly. The reality is, if you are a good player, playing with equally good players, unless someone by luck just happens to land on a color group and gets a monopoly, the game will go on forever. Without monopolies and improved properties, no one will ever go bankrupt.

[@PrincipalSkinner3190]

(sorry, reading it years later) Actually in this case, it is the Planters Effect: the Planters Peanuts mascot, Mr. Peanut, has a superficial resemblance to Rich Uncle Pennybags/Mr. Monopoly, with a top hat, and occasionally a cane (or walking-stick). And Mr. Peanut memorably sports a monocle.

I totally thought this was gonna be about Lizzie Magie’s other version of the rules. As the original creator of Monopoly (though she called it “The Landlord’s Game”) she invented the game as a criticism of capitalism, and invented two rule sets - ‘Monopolist’ the one where you’re a landlord trying to bankrupt everyone else, and ‘Prosperity’ the one where you are playing as a team to maximise the total money earned.
