I fucking hate house rules
"I pulled this rule of my ass and now it's the law"
Most people don't hate actual Monopoly, they hate the house rules version of it. Rent goes in the bank, Free Parking is just an empty space. If you don't buy the property it goes to auction.
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.
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.

You think that's bad you should see pai sho.
Variety is the spice of life, homie.
I'm not against custom rules that everyone has previously agreed upon.
However, bringing up on the go random made up rules...
