I hate Uno.
First you stack +2. Then you stack +4 and +2. Next, whenever there's a +n, everyone can throw a +n in. Logically this now goes for reverse too. And so on... it ends in a card fight.

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.

You think that's bad you should see pai sho.
Next you're going to tell me I can't sandbag on purpose in Spades to trick the other team into reneging.

+4 can also go in a +2 but now only +4s can be player—you can’t go back to +2.
You can skip a skip, but then it skips two people. If the person who it lands on skips again, it skips three people, and so on. Fun to figure out when you’re all wasted.
We calls it Meanuno.
Don't forget Reverse on a +2 or +4 so the person who played it has to pull it.
This is the first one I've read that I have legitimate disagreement with.
Hm, I do remember that Monopoly's actual rules are better than most people's house rules. Maybe the Uno people have a point?
The two main rules that get ignored are 1. Free Parking is exactly that, you don't get anything for landing on it, and 2. If you land on an unowned property and decide not to buy, it immediately goes up for auction. Ignoring those rules drags the game out forever. It's supposed to be relatively short and brutal.
Also that if there's no houses left in the bank you can't buy more, even if you buy enough houses to buy a hotel.
Which is why the best strategy is to buy 4 houses and never upgrade to a hotel. It prevents others from buying houses. And you can’t just skip straight to a hotel in the actual rules either. You have to have 4 houses and the next turn you can buy a hotel.

I haven't played monopoly since about 1996, but the house rules in your first point were how I was taught the game. Crazy how ingrained those mods are, and where tf did they come from!?
Well, the game was basically designed to show that rent as a concept is frustrating rich-get-richer bullshit. When people get frustrated, they try to tweak the system to make it less frustrating. Ultimately, it just delays the inevitable.

I never caught that second one and I can immediately see it's benefit. That would speed the game up significantly.
Auctions also mean that if your opponents overextend into double digits cash, you can buy anything that gets landed on for their balance plus 1. Very tasty to get dark blues for less than their rent prices.
