Now that you know what's supposed to happen on Free Parking you should watch this video and find out Who Really Invented Monopoly?: ruclips.net/video/Ca_NYNndZGk/видео.html
There's only one problem with this video and it is that landing on the "go" space does in fact mean that you get double the money ($400). Here's the excerpt from the rules: If the player lands on or passes Go in the course of his or her turn, he or she receives $200 from the Bank. A player has until the beginning of his or her next turn to collect this money. If a player lands on go then the money collected is doubled.
Linescrew1 true although it's annoying trying to go to jail and landing on Piccadilly instead and it having a damn hotel on it owned by that one annoying player
Yep, you're exactly right. It's actually a strategy to stay in jail as long as you can later in the game, so you're safe from paying rent like you mentioned. This is probably why they give you a maximum of 3 turns in jail before you are forced to pay bail and get out.
Monopoly: “Free Parking” is pretty self explanatory, no one should mess this up. Kids: Well obviously it means you put all the taxes collected by the bank in the middle and if you land on Free Parking, you collect all the money. Those kids as adults: What!?! You don’t collect all the money in the middle? Since when?
No wonder some people complain Monopoly drags on for ages! It is a game based on making others go bankrupt and they are creating side-rules that throw more cash into the system!
We do the same. The only exception is that there has to be a non-player being banker, and that the order of who goes first is by age, not by the roll of the die. It’s BS, but it’s the adults ruining the economy ammiright???
My dad taught us how he played it, and he uses the “pay on Free Parking” rule. He says its a thing, but I’ve told him its not. We also don’t auction property if we don’t want it.
@Jacob Potts Ask him where that rule is and show him that free parking does nothing in the rule book and you must buy or auction off properties, and explain to him how this keeps money as a limited resource and keeps games very short.
Honestly as someone who’s only ever read the rules like twice ever, I’ve always assumed the free parking spot did nothing anyways, it just kinda made sense to me as a kid, as “free spot” is the first thing i think of when i see Free Parking
I use this one that you didn’t mention: The game doesn’t end when all players are bankrupt (except for the 1 winning player) and only concludes when the board is kicked across the room by Grumpy Grandfather
these days the grand kids would kick the pooor granddad to death for fucking up the board,,, and dont DENY it,, bc barely 1% of the worlds kids today have respect for their parents,,, the other 99% braindead farts created from and by braindead idiots,,,, aka the USA ,, the land where the RETARDS came from after EUROPE went there OFC,,,
@@boosterdude6921 You took a joke too serious and parents also don't respect they kids neglecting them and thinking that giving them money is enought to repair that or psychically abuse them for not doing good in school because "in their times it was much harder". If parents think about their kids like about asset who is suposed to work for their retirement why would they have any respect to them. Also if people from America and Europe are braindead why they are the richest, don't have wars on their teritory and don't deal with tyranical rulers or sick cultures? And before teling me that I must hate my parents I want to tell that I love them. And my comment is only showing the other side of this conflict.
Today I found out my family was playing it the right way the whole time, half of the stuff you mentioned, made me think “Wait? Everyone else doesn’t play that way?”
Ur family law abiding citizens as well. Praise that family mad respect for doing good and actually doing what ur meant to be doing. Following the rules.
Yeah, stuff like free parking, jail squatting and other related actions, and missing rent if you don't notice it before the next player goes, is stuff that we've always known about. We've however never auctioned properties at all, bought properties on the first lap around, and we have gone past the proper limit of houses
The problem, which the uploader pointed out, is that the fastest way to play the game is by playing the official rules. People don't realize how severe the domino effect is when you introduce some made up rule like loaning other players money. The console/PC version Monopoly Plus is even faster. Everything is automated and fast. Games rarely take longer than 2 hours on those versions.
@@SrbijaCG If you play it by the rules it is not a forever lasting game. Stop bringing in all the extra money, and games are much shorter. Much easier to bankrupt players.
I've played it with friends where any money paid to the bank was put in the middle and landing on free parking got you all the money, granted looking back it's very unbalance but hey we were kids and we had fun.
I've always used the rule he mentioned (as well as the land on Go rule) when playing so that there were no spaces that did nothing. Additionally, it makes the tax tiles feel less bullshit.
That's the same for me. Then again, my family has a strict "read the manual" rule. So we all knew what the real rules were. No one followed them anyways...
My family knows that too, but we choose to play free parking with giving a person money. In this case, this is a house rule that speeds up the game usually.
Trading adds a huge element to the game. Instead of merely rolling dice and getting lucky you also have to barter with your opponents. Having allies is often the difference between victory or defeat, be careful though, for your reputation carries to future rounds. Also auctions are hilarious.
Same with Risk. People are too-averse to making deals because they think it's cheating. Not saying that you should trade territories in Risk (because that's fucking stupid) but you should make alliances in attacking other players.
Alliances only add unnecessary conflict that will only increase the chances of real-world friction. If you have two really good players teaming up against two not as good or competitive ones, nobody's really gonna have any fun.
@@jffry890 Didn't realize you can only play party board games with a scouted roster of tryhards lmfao. There's this thing called playing games for fun y'know Also Monopoly is a family board game, the only time it's really labelled competitive is in coordinated tournaments, which in that case sure you'll find nothing but competitive players. I'm talking about playing with family or some friends though
It's due to the terrible house rules. The tax is there to reduce the money in the game, which significantly speeds up the game. People usually start with too much starting money. We used to played without auctions, when I was a kid, so you had to land on property to buy it and you could only build houses on your set if you landed on one of those streets again. With these rules you usually had to pass go 3-4 times before the game got kind of interesting.
Mines just the realisation i got myself into hours of painful one sided cheating bullshit of a game with people ik i just shouldve said no to yet said why not whats the worst that could happeen each time.
Yes!!! My family would always sell our property when we went bankrupt and it would piss off my brother so he went and looked at the rules to see what the rules were for bankrupting a player 💀
Jesse Nunez isnt it much better to morgage the property first to one dollar less than it’s actually worth so you still make cash off it but never actually lose it?
@@SkeweredGlaive You have to _"give"_ the Top Hat back after. Might take a couple hours, but just down some espresso and smoke a cigarette or two and it'll shoot right out...
When the game was created free squatting areas for vagrants were definitely a thing and in the world the game exists this is the only place that isn't ruled 100% by monopolistic greed.
That's like my grandparents and I with scrabble. Because of how much we played, and because they made me read the proper rules, they are the only people, to date, who've ever been able to beat me, since. Although being multilingual helps. Especially for people wanting to challenge me or not. My rules, however, read that if you challenged someone, it was 50 points on the line, not 5.
The 'house rules' of monopoly thing is interesting. I remember playing monopoly as a child in the 90s, in Sweden, and I was taught many of those rules he brought up in the video. So where did they stem from? And how did they spread to different countries before the internet was what it is today?
Probably nobody read the rules, and unlike a lot of other games where the rules are much more self-explanitory, Monopoly probably suffers from millions of people collectively reiterating the rules wrong, and thus other people tell new people the rules wrong, and so on and so forth.
Apparently there's an official Monopoly variant called "Slowest Game Ever" where (besides doubling the board's length and removing one of the two dice) they put in all the house rules that people accidentally break the game with
Actually don't a lot of RTS games have ceasefire/treaty modes for that? Some people just don't find rushing/being rushed fun. In the case of monopoly I agree it needlessly slows things down though, since you literally can't do anything that turn except move
My family loves to call me "rain-man" for reading, and demanding adherence to rules. I guess I just don't think "having fun" entails cheating or making shit up.
I agree. A lot of these games are made to function a specific way and throwing in house rules when you don't really understand the larger impact of those house rules can make the game significantly worse. I personally dislike Monopoly, but after seeing this video, I'm pretty sure the reason I don't like it is because of the house rules everyone plays with. I'd love to try a game of Monopoly using strictly rules as written.
All games should be played by the rules agreed to before the game begins. Based on the presumption that the game's designer might have put a bit more thought into it than whatever moron came up with that Free Parking jackpot house rule, the written rules should be used unless a good case can be made to modify them. Every house rule I have ever heard of for Monopoly does one of two things. It either dumbs down the game or makes it longer. I have never understood the appeal of making an already annoyingly long game longer
In what way does him wanting people to follow the rules of the game mean he have autism? Sure, autistic people have difficulty doing something that isn't dictated by a set of rules, but some people just don't like people pulling shit out of their ass.
@@Fiona-wd5sx it takes away the fact that whoever goes first has the biggest advantage of being able to buy the first property and it gives one round around to try and get money from chests and chances or alliances set up secretly
I do it, I never thought it was a rule, but it just makes the game more aggravating because I'm the least lucky person when it comes to the die or monopoly in general. Now that I think about it, that's probably why my mom insists we do it.
The real trick to Monopoly is to build 4 houses on everything you own and never buy hotels. It denies the rest of the players form being able to build hotels if there isn't enough houses left for them and is rather funny.
@@joseph7795 No, I meant 4. You have to build 4 houses before you can build a hotel. If you run the market dry by leaving 4 houses on each of your properties, there is a limited supply and the other players might not have enough to be able to build hotels on their properties.
My family actually had this special seemingly-official minigame for Free Parking It was this board on a dome that came with about 15 or so car pieces, you had to see how many cars you could balance on the platform without it falling over and were rewarded based on how many you could manage
He did say that within the first minute itself. And I doubt I'd be subscribed to just a good channel if it was just that 10 second video basically saying "nothing"
Wildmansam it’s a fun house rule but that puts more money in the playing field and that makes the game last longer. We play and it takes 45min to 2 hours Depending on how fast someone collects a 3 color monopoly
Rules are employed 'offer' a structure by which fun can be had, yet, somewhat, mirroring aspects of everyday life. Thus offering an interesting challenge without real-world consequences.
Back in the day we played this game and it always ended in a argument. Still remember my sister took the game a placed it in the fireplace. And two weeks later bought the game again and it ended in an argument. Man i miss those days
I got the "Free Parking collects fines" and "Landing directly on GO doubles salary collected that turn" rules from the game options in Westwood Studios' Monopoly CD-ROM game.
We played as kids in the late 50's to early 60's, and we never prohibited buying props on the first circuit of the board; sometimes, one or more players would just decide to wait, not buying the first few unowned props they landed on. However, we (almost) never held an auction when declining an unowned property. Fred
I'd just buy everything I landed on, mortgage the majority of things I have, then slowly pay them off while gaining momentum with collected rent. It's a risky earlygame that pays off with a lucrative endgame
@@GreatLakesSurfer I'm old too, brother. And my computer knowledge is very limited. If you have access to one, you can find MONOPOLY in the 'PlayStore' app.
Holy crap. This makes Monopoly a more strategy-based game and you have to be a step ahead of your opponents. I didn't play it that way for the past 20 years of my life. Lol
family follow all these original rules and guess what? We finish Monopoly within an hour usually! Also yes, we are very cunning and make a competition and everything.
Not really. You have so much starting money that the actual chance of buying the street you need via auction is very unlikely. Usually you end up with a stalemate or the incredibly slow death of one player followed by a sprint for property and another period of stagnation or slow death. This is why professional monopoly is horseshit. Yes there is strategy here but the luck of the dice is still far more relevant for your success rate.
aBoogivogi - Actually Monopoly is very much a game of skill when played by the rules, and I have always played strictly by the rules, even as a child. It is not luck that I have not lost a single game of Monopoly in over 45 years, its skill. In fact, I once took over for a friend who was loosing badly and, not only did I come back from behind, but I completely wiped out the other players in less than an hour. Obviously there is a degree of chance involved in Monopoly, just as there is in Poker, but in both of these games the most skilled players will always come out on top.
If your definition of a skill based game is poker then yeah I understand why you would think this makes monopoly skill based. Don't get me wrong there are skills involved in poker, but at the end of the day luck is still more important. Sure you can still win by bluffing now and then, but in the long run luck of the draw will win every time. Naturally playing on the kitchen table with a few friends and shuffling by hand with a single deck is wildly different. At the end of the day a dice game where you have very little control of the flow of the game aside from rolling a dice will never be particularly skill based. There is no long term strategy that ensures your revenue it's all down to the roll of the dice of other players. Heck when getting put in jail is a viable mid to late game strategy something is fucking wrong with your game.
I think this is just to randomize order selection and equalize win ratios of each player (first player is more likely to win, a full lap makes more "random" who is the first player). I don't think it adds much to the game time tbh.
My god, Simon from 5 years ago looks fresh out of college, Simon now looks like he's fathered 2 kids, written a book, and is now settling into a nice golf career. Love it heh
Ive NEVER heard of the fake rule where you have to go around the board once before buying houses. I try to snatch up the train spaces and the light blue ones as soon as possible!
FastLikeUNO I was playing a game with my friends and they landed on a train thing and did not buy it, I was very confused so immediately placed a bid, I don't think they were really paying attention at all so I used that to my advantage. I had many pieces at the end of the first go around and they had none, easy clean up. lol it was hilarious when I realized that they used this weird rule, I thought they were letting me win because I had told them I was bad (which is true)
I recently replayed monopoly with friends and having the light blue properties with houses made me rich af. It's cheap to put houses on them and these properties are often landed on although the landing price is less than the higher properties with buildings on them.
actually, the most valuable properties, are the yellow and orange ones (i think) the ones that come immediately after jail, because there are so many ways to go to jail in the game, the odds of people landing on those colors are significantly higher than any other properties ;)
:: lands on free parking first :: :: places hotel and informs other players the price for rent :: "Its not your property!" - "Yeah it is, I landed on it first and the tile clearly says it's free" "Well, you can't make up your own price for rent." - "If you concede that it's in fact my property, you also concede the fact that I can charge what I want" "You have to buy houses before you buy hotels anyway" - "That doesn't make any sense. When you build a hotel you build it on vacant land. In fact, this land is quite big, so I think I'll build two hotels"
You actually need to buy 4 houses before getting a chance to buy a hotel and all the houses you buy have to be an equal or close to equal amount when buying houses of the same colour
And then there’s the Community Chest and Chance cards that forces you pay a fine for every house and hotel you have on your properties. They are evil I tell ya.
0:55 I love how when he's explaining about the rules of Monopoly explicitly talking about the Free Parking space, the Monopoly Deal rules are being shown.
Novusod How is it dumb? Not bidding extends the game to 8 fucking hours and makes it completely luck based and removes much of the wheel and dealing aspect of the game. You just run around the board and hope to get lucky to get all three of one property and get hotels. When you bid, all the properties get distributed very quickly and the real game can begin.
Scott89878 I learned to play monopoly on rainy days before the internet was a thing. The whole point of playing monopoly was to waste time. If the game lasted 8 hours then good.
Rj Mj Google the phrase, I did spell it right. Also before correcting peoples spelling,you might want to look at your grammar, please use capital letters when using peoples names. Thank you.
In my flat we had arguments only because they didn't want to play by the written rules and then would complain when the house rules were "unfair" Even though they made them themselves..
Sarah Drangosch it was almost midnight when me and my family had to stop..... I won by default since they didn’t want to play anymore and also I had the most money (probably)
You know monopoly is a crime right? Nevermind this is the internet. It sounds funny so kids will believe it. Don't mind me just keep being stupid. Or perhaps do a lick of research. Also people say "money" and that means capitalism to the internet. And capitalism is bad because not everyone can be rich. Honestly it's just sad. But I'm being kind of rude so I'm gonna end this comment before I get to far down the hole. 😕
@@chimaera2611 the act of making an actual monopoly (like controlling the entirety of a certain industry) is a federal crime. But the game itself is perfectly legal
In my house, we play by the rules that are printed. Any rules that are printed. ......Even if we just printed them, and we were previously playing under other rules.
Great video! I married into a family who always read the rules to every game regardless it’s popularity. So imagine my surprise to find out the real rule regarding “free parking,” among other rules. I was shocked that I’d never read or even heard the real rules my entire life! However it made the game more desirable to play as I never really enjoyed playing monopoly much before since it took too long to play.
People only read the rules they were unsure about. As the youngest player, I never read the rules because it would only lead to ridicule because the older players always "knew" the rules. Like you I never enjoyed the game, and agree that these rules are better. But then... any rule that makes the game faster is an improvement. For us the rule is that the game is not allowed to take up space in our house. Speeds things up immensely.
Diplomacy is a game I was literally never able to play; the necessary double dealing, backstabbing and betrayal would have just left me feeling too rotten to enjoy victory even if I did win.
The only rules my family didn't follow were the free parking one, no loans, and limited houses/hotels, and for the "no buying houses untill you've gone around the board once" thing, my family waited untill you had a full color set before you could buy houses or hotels
omg Thank you for this! I've tried to explain to countless people that if played by the actual rules, monopoly only takes between 2 and 3 hours to complete and not the whole day affair that they seem to believe. Seriously, in a game about the danger of capitalism, why would free parking welfare ever be a thing?
As an aside for anyone looking to expedite the game further, simply give each player 2 500s and 5 100s at the beginning instead of counting out all the small bills. It equals 1500 either way.
Dillon Hinkley While you are correct, the assorted money makes paying rent a lot easier than if you only have large bills. so in reality, this would make it take longer than simply giving 5 ones, 5 gives, 5 tens, 6 twenties, 2 fifties, 5 hundreds, and 1 five hundres as you would then be trying to deal with separating the money and distributing it then after breaking the large bill.
Jessica von Dauv I actually have considered this. You may very well be correct but I wonder if it depends on other variables like the competency of the banker, the number of players, or anything else. I honestly think that the breakdown could be adjusted to account for these variables but haven't delved far enough into it to actually experiment. I usually just tend to the instant gratification of the people I play with by avoiding lengthy setup time.
In all honesty, I don't use physical money in game but then again, most people would have coded a banking system so that it is one click for go and paying the other player, etc. All before the first "electronic banking" came out haha.
Heh, the last set my family purchased was the special edition in the 90s with the wooden houses and hotels. I honestly completely forgot that newer versions simply run electronically. Without checking I'll even assume there's a Monopoly app available.
Sure, who doesn't? The strange thing is that Monopoly, a game that is deliberately boring and long-winded (since it was originally created as a warning about the evils of capitalism) has, somehow, collectively accumulated house rules that makes it even more boring and long-winded.
...No? Those 30% can be and most likely are in the 60% or whatever the numbers were. If you don't read the rules you are indeed making your own rules. Common sense.
Nothing should happen. It is however a rather valuable spot to land when there are houses built all around and serves as a good moment to chill out. The oranges are very popular and getting past them is massive. Course if you can roll 10 the hard ways or 6-4 then jail after is vital too! If we are playing for real money at home, we tend to agree on fines and taxes going into middle and free parking triggering pay-out. Can be a bit of a blue shell effect!
0:55 This is the rules from a card game called Monopoly Deal. It is the most chaotic card game I have ever played, especially with 3-4 players. You can be winning the game on your turn, and by the time your next turn comes along you are in last place because everything got stolen. If you have the right cards and know how to use them, you can bounce back on that turn. I still have no viable strategy to ensure a win. Someone just gets the right cards in hand and takes what he needs to win. Game over just like that.
when i asked my parents who you win at monoply they said"by slowly beating your opponents into the ground until they hate you""...how long does that take?""many, many hours"
So, I have played two versions: Older one: Free parking: You get all the money which is in the center: payments and stuff New version: Free parking: Nothing happens. This speed ups it very much actually.
No money! It never ends! If I could decide the rules, no one would get monet in the beginning of the game. It would end much quicker, I mean MUCH quicker.
I've always found Free Parking to be a wasted space in terms of design, but there's never been an official version where anything happens there. Go figure.
therealbahamut I made one rule once: Instead of getting money while passing the starting point, you lose money. So basically you don't get 200 dollars, you lose 200 dollars. It can be quite much if you also have to pay 200 taxes (tax space) Well, I have the Finnish version, so they are not similar to English version. We have different names with the streets for example.
It's like this: late in the game, when most (if not all) of the spaces are owned, sometimes with expensive houses and hotels, the free parking space becomes a godsend simply because it's a space you can land in that's *guaranteed* not to cost you anything. This is a big deal at this point.
Watching this vid 6y later is pretty amusing. I found Simon's myriad of channels in 2020 when COVID kicked off the WFH revolution, and he's been a significant feature of my workdays ever since. He's really grown and developed his craft so much just in those 3 years, it's kind of adorable to look back even farther to see him back then.
yeah well, when i bought the monopoly to play with my friend, i grab the rule paper thingy and tried to read it but my friend said "ow, no need to read that crap, i know perfectly how to play it", after playing it i realize that he was saying bulllshit
OMG! Just landed on this, watching with interest, shocked at Simons younger and slimmer beard. I’m more used to the current look in the other 25 channels he presents

Yeah, stuff like free parking, jail squatting and other related actions, and missing rent if you don't notice it before the next player goes, is stuff that we've always known about. We've however never auctioned properties at all, bought properties on the first lap around, and we have gone past the proper limit of houses
suprisingly same
Trying to get people to even play monopoly is near impossible; let alone trying to teach them an entirely different way to play
Have them play the digital version
Monopoly is fun, unfortunately people don't have patience.
The problem, which the uploader pointed out, is that the fastest way to play the game is by playing the official rules. People don't realize how severe the domino effect is when you introduce some made up rule like loaning other players money.
The console/PC version Monopoly Plus is even faster. Everything is automated and fast. Games rarely take longer than 2 hours on those versions.
@@SrbijaCG If you play it by the rules it is not a forever lasting game. Stop bringing in all the extra money, and games are much shorter. Much easier to bankrupt players.

I haven't played Monopoly in years but I knew what free parking was, just a free space. I never knew that there was so much confusion about the space.
I've played it with friends where any money paid to the bank was put in the middle and landing on free parking got you all the money, granted looking back it's very unbalance but hey we were kids and we had fun.
I've always used the rule he mentioned (as well as the land on Go rule) when playing so that there were no spaces that did nothing. Additionally, it makes the tax tiles feel less bullshit.
That's the same for me.
Then again, my family has a strict "read the manual" rule. So we all knew what the real rules were. No one followed them anyways...
It's a great place to land later in the game. 2nd only to jail, especially if you don't have many properties
My family knows that too, but we choose to play free parking with giving a person money. In this case, this is a house rule that speeds up the game usually.
Trading adds a huge element to the game. Instead of merely rolling dice and getting lucky you also have to barter with your opponents. Having allies is often the difference between victory or defeat, be careful though, for your reputation carries to future rounds.
Also auctions are hilarious.
Same with Risk. People are too-averse to making deals because they think it's cheating. Not saying that you should trade territories in Risk (because that's fucking stupid) but you should make alliances in attacking other players.
Alliances only add unnecessary conflict that will only increase the chances of real-world friction. If you have two really good players teaming up against two not as good or competitive ones, nobody's really gonna have any fun.
@@bradlasalle2888 Well then those two non-competitive players shouldn't be playing a competitive game.

@@Or_Am_I_Alpharius you sound exactly Like my mother
ha. you suck!
It's due to the terrible house rules. The tax is there to reduce the money in the game, which significantly speeds up the game. People usually start with too much starting money. We used to played without auctions, when I was a kid, so you had to land on property to buy it and you could only build houses on your set if you landed on one of those streets again. With these rules you usually had to pass go 3-4 times before the game got kind of interesting.
Mines just the realisation i got myself into hours of painful one sided cheating bullshit of a game with people ik i just shouldve said no to yet said why not whats the worst that could happeen each time.
Let’s be honest now one really looks at the rules until a fight breaks out

The 'house rules' of monopoly thing is interesting. I remember playing monopoly as a child in the 90s, in Sweden, and I was taught many of those rules he brought up in the video. So where did they stem from? And how did they spread to different countries before the internet was what it is today?
Probably nobody read the rules, and unlike a lot of other games where the rules are much more self-explanitory, Monopoly probably suffers from millions of people collectively reiterating the rules wrong, and thus other people tell new people the rules wrong, and so on and so forth.

My family loves to call me "rain-man" for reading, and demanding

cheating or making shit up.
I agree. A lot of these games are made to function a specific way and throwing in house rules when you don't really understand the larger impact of those house rules can make the game significantly worse. I personally dislike Monopoly, but after seeing this video, I'm pretty sure the reason I don't like it is because of the house rules everyone plays with. I'd love to try a game of Monopoly using strictly rules as written.
All games should be played by the rules agreed to before the game begins. Based on the presumption that the game's designer might have put a bit more thought into it than whatever moron came up with that Free Parking jackpot house rule, the written rules should be used unless a good case can be made to modify them. Every house rule I have ever heard of for Monopoly does one of two things. It either dumbs down the game or makes it longer. I have never understood the appeal of making an already annoyingly long game longer
In what way does him wanting people to follow the rules of the game mean he have autism? Sure, autistic people have difficulty doing something that isn't dictated by a set of rules, but some people just don't like people pulling shit out of their ass.

The real trick to Monopoly is to build 4 houses on everything you own and never buy hotels. It denies the rest of the players form being able to build hotels if there isn't enough houses left for them and is rather funny.

You mean 3 right???
@@joseph7795 No, I meant 4. You have to build 4 houses before you can build a hotel. If you run the market dry by leaving 4 houses on each of your properties, there is a limited supply and the other players might not have enough to be able to build hotels on their properties.
and then you get assessed

We played as kids in the late 50's to early 60's, and we never prohibited buying props on the first circuit of the board; sometimes, one or more players would just decide to wait, not buying the first few unowned props they landed on.
However, we (almost) never held an auction when declining an unowned property.

Holy crap. This makes Monopoly a more strategy-based game and you have to be a step ahead of your opponents. I didn't play it that way for the past 20 years of my life. Lol
family follow all these original rules and guess what? We finish Monopoly within an hour usually! Also yes, we are very cunning and make a competition and everything.
Not really. You have so much starting money that the actual chance of buying the street you need via auction is very unlikely. Usually you end up with a stalemate or the incredibly slow death of one player followed by a sprint for property and another period of stagnation or slow death. This is why professional monopoly is horseshit. Yes there is strategy here but the luck of the dice is still far more relevant for your success rate.
Reduce the starting money to $1200 and things get more interesting.
aBoogivogi - Actually Monopoly is very much a game of skill when played by the rules, and I have always played strictly by the rules, even as a child. It is not luck that I have not lost a single game of Monopoly in over 45 years, its skill. In fact, I once took over for a friend who was loosing badly and, not only did I come back from behind, but I completely wiped out the other players in less than an hour. Obviously there is a degree of chance involved in Monopoly, just as there is in Poker, but in both of these games the most skilled players will always come out on top.
If your definition of a skill based game is poker then yeah I understand why you would think this makes monopoly skill based. Don't get me wrong there are skills involved in poker, but at the end of the day luck is still more important. Sure you can still win by bluffing now and then, but in the long run luck of the draw will win every time. Naturally playing on the kitchen table with a few friends and shuffling by hand with a single deck is wildly different.
At the end of the day a dice game where you have very little control of the flow of the game aside from rolling a dice will never be particularly skill based. There is no long term strategy that ensures your revenue it's all down to the roll of the dice of other players. Heck when getting put in jail is a viable mid to late game strategy something is fucking wrong with your game.

Its go around the board once before you buy any properties. I HATE when people play that rule. Its a house thing just like the free parking.
FastLikeUNO I played a mobile monopoly game that had that rule. Thought the rule was official.
FastLikeUNO I was playing a game with my friends and they landed on a train thing and did not buy it, I was very confused so immediately placed a bid, I don't think they were really paying attention at all so I used that to my advantage. I had many pieces at the end of the first go around and they had none, easy clean up. lol it was hilarious when I realized that they used this weird rule, I thought they were letting me win because I had told them I was bad (which is true)
I recently replayed monopoly with friends and having the light blue properties with houses made me rich af. It's cheap to put houses on them and these properties are often landed on although the landing price is less than the higher properties with buildings on them.
actually, the most valuable properties, are the yellow and orange ones (i think) the ones that come immediately after jail, because there are so many ways to go to jail in the game, the odds of people landing on those colors are significantly higher than any other properties ;)
:: lands on free parking first ::
:: places hotel and informs other players the price for rent ::
"Its not your property!"
- "Yeah it is, I landed on it first and the tile clearly says it's free"
"Well, you can't make up your own price for rent."
- "If you concede that it's in fact my property, you also concede the fact that I can charge what I want"
"You have to buy houses before you buy hotels anyway"
- "That doesn't make any sense. When you build a hotel you build it on vacant land. In fact, this land is quite big, so I think I'll build two hotels"
Or you could just lean in real close and whisper: It’s free real-estate!
I like your thinking.... all properties are up for sale..... might be more profitable to just buy the 4 corners
This reminds me about a video from a channel called Brewstew. The person talking in the video literally once bought a Community Chest space.
@@mewmew8932 Here's 750 dollars in monopoly money I wanna buy that shirt off your back
never buy hotels, just load up your properties with houses to run the bank dry of houses.
Exactly! It limits the houses open for purchase; and you can still bankrupt everyone else. :D
Exactly.
You actually need to buy 4 houses before getting a chance to buy a hotel and all the houses you buy have to be an equal or close to equal amount when buying houses of the same colour
I like Oranges Oh shit! I had not realized that. That makes house buying even more lucrative.
And then there’s the Community Chest and Chance cards that forces you pay a fine for every house and hotel you have on your properties. They are evil I tell ya.

I love how when he's explaining about the rules of Monopoly explicitly talking about the Free Parking space, the Monopoly Deal rules are being shown.
Why do people miss the bidding rule? It's the best part of the game
That biggest game changer. That free parking thing is whatever, but the lack of bidding removes strategy and grossly lengthens the game.
never heard of the bidding until a few years ago when I got monopoly on my computer. 40 years of doing it wrong.
The bidding rule is stupid.
Novusod How is it dumb? Not bidding extends the game to 8 fucking hours and makes it completely luck based and removes much of the wheel and dealing aspect of the game. You just run around the board and hope to get lucky to get all three of one property and get hotels. When you bid, all the properties get distributed very quickly and the real game can begin.

I was shocked that I’d never read or even heard the real rules my entire life! However it made the game more desirable to play as I never really enjoyed playing monopoly much before since it took too long to play.
People only read the rules they were unsure about. As the youngest player, I never read the rules because it would only lead to ridicule because the older players always "knew" the rules. Like you I never enjoyed the game, and agree that these rules are better. But then... any rule that makes the game faster is an improvement.

You must be from Kentucky.
ROFL
I think most people hear their first rape joke while playing Monopoly.
"Few board games have the ability to cause arguments like Monopoly".
Diplomacy: "Hold my beer".
Oh, God yes! Back-stabbing, alliances, breaking alliances, secret meetings!
Secret Hitler: "Nein. Hold my beer."
Ever play Munchkin?
Big-time tabletop gamer here. I have played all of these. Diplomacy is the only one I’ve ever seen result in a violent crime.
Diplomacy is a game I was literally never able to play; the necessary double dealing, backstabbing and betrayal would have just left me feeling too rotten to enjoy victory even if I did win.
Today I found out that....
This channel exists :3
Me too
Same XD
Yup 😂
Same here
Same
The only rules my family didn't follow were the free parking one, no loans, and limited houses/hotels, and for the "no buying houses untill you've gone around the board once" thing, my family waited untill you had a full color set before you could buy houses or hotels
if i am not mistaken it says in the rule book you must own the entire colour set before purchasing housing for those properties
@@monkeyop1834 you are correct
@@monkeyop1834 Do you live in a different time zone, or are you also awake at 1am?
@@theonlydinoshark9304 its a hell of a time to be awake
omg Thank you for this! I've tried to explain to countless people that if played by the actual rules, monopoly only takes between 2 and 3 hours to complete and not the whole day affair that they seem to believe.
Seriously, in a game about the danger of capitalism, why would free parking welfare ever be a thing?
As an aside for anyone looking to expedite the game further, simply give each player 2 500s and 5 100s at the beginning instead of counting out all the small bills. It equals 1500 either way.
Dillon Hinkley While you are correct, the assorted money makes paying rent a lot easier than if you only have large bills. so in reality, this would make it take longer than simply giving 5 ones, 5 gives, 5 tens, 6 twenties, 2 fifties, 5 hundreds, and 1 five hundres as you would then be trying to deal with separating the money and distributing it then after breaking the large bill.
Jessica von Dauv I actually have considered this. You may very well be correct but I wonder if it depends on other variables like the competency of the banker, the number of players, or anything else. I honestly think that the breakdown could be adjusted to account for these variables but haven't delved far enough into it to actually experiment. I usually just tend to the instant gratification of the people I play with by avoiding lengthy setup time.
In all honesty, I don't use physical money in game but then again, most people would have coded a banking system so that it is one click for go and paying the other player, etc. All before the first "electronic banking" came out haha.
Heh, the last set my family purchased was the special edition in the 90s with the wooden houses and hotels. I honestly completely forgot that newer versions simply run electronically. Without checking I'll even assume there's a Monopoly app available.
First and only rule of every board game ever:
_*In my house we play it like this*
fuck you
NemesisWesker same
Uno too.
NemesisWesker it's so fucking annoying when people pull that stunt.
Sure, who doesn't?
The strange thing is that Monopoly, a game that is deliberately boring and long-winded (since it was originally created as a warning about the evils of capitalism) has, somehow, collectively accumulated house rules that makes it even more boring and long-winded.
That means roughly 2% of the population plays monopoly correctly
100th like
Kaden.mp4 • i kinda don't want to belive it, i always read the rules cuz its not fun if im not playing correctly, so 2% is kinda shocking
...No? Those 30% can be and most likely are in the 60% or whatever the numbers were. If you don't read the rules you are indeed making your own rules. Common sense.
Legend VirohXL you’re wrong sorry
Nights Gem me too
Nothing should happen. It is however a rather valuable spot to land when there are houses built all around and serves as a good moment to chill out. The oranges are very popular and getting past them is massive. Course if you can roll 10 the hard ways or 6-4 then jail after is vital too!
If we are playing for real money at home, we tend to agree on fines and taxes going into middle and free parking triggering pay-out. Can be a bit of a blue shell effect!
0:55 This is the rules from a card game called Monopoly Deal. It is the most chaotic card game I have ever played, especially with 3-4 players. You can be winning the game on your turn, and by the time your next turn comes along you are in last place because everything got stolen. If you have the right cards and know how to use them, you can bounce back on that turn. I still have no viable strategy to ensure a win. Someone just gets the right cards in hand and takes what he needs to win. Game over just like that.
The only way to ensure a win is to trust in thw heart of the cards
So Like real life then. You can only win with extreme luck
@@kompatybilijny9348 Yeah, basically
So you suggest to not fight against your relatives during the game, but to start those wars even before it?
LMAO! Exactly!
Whenever I saw free parking, I moved my character to it and chilled for a while, done my shopping and came back to my car
ItsAmy B SAME!!
ItsAmy B I kinda did that.... when I land on free parking I use that time to buy my houses and hotels but I also do the money thing
Watching current videos then watching old ones for the first time shows how much wisdom Simon has achieved based on beard growth
**When you need to write a 3000 word essay**
when i asked my parents who you win at monoply they said"by slowly beating your opponents into the ground until they hate you""...how long does that take?""many, many hours"
I actually go by the rulebook and not house rules. This annoys many people, but I don't care!
Love those stock photos with the same room, same table, just different families.
Love the stock photos of completely different model families "playing" Monopoly in the same room with the same furniture.
So, I have played two versions:
Older one: Free parking: You get all the money which is in the center: payments and stuff
New version: Free parking: Nothing happens. This speed ups it very much actually.
Reijo Piippula Or the way I do it , you get $100
No money! It never ends! If I could decide the rules, no one would get monet in the beginning of the game. It would end much quicker, I mean MUCH quicker.
I've always found Free Parking to be a wasted space in terms of design, but there's never been an official version where anything happens there. Go figure.
therealbahamut
I made one rule once: Instead of getting money while passing the starting point, you lose money. So basically you don't get 200 dollars, you lose 200 dollars. It can be quite much if you also have to pay 200 taxes (tax space)
Well, I have the Finnish version, so they are not similar to English version. We have different names with the streets for example.
It's like this: late in the game, when most (if not all) of the spaces are owned, sometimes with expensive houses and hotels, the free parking space becomes a godsend simply because it's a space you can land in that's *guaranteed* not to cost you anything. This is a big deal at this point.
Think I've been playing an entirely different board game when considering the official rules haha
Mhm. It always frustrates me seeing people play the game wrong, but that's because I play the game competitively.
Awesomekk nice
It’s always Liverpool fans who have more boards than trophies 😂
The biggest thing people usually leave out of their game isn't free parking, it's auctioning
@@xanatgarcia9241 Haha, only just seen this :)
Watching this vid 6y later is pretty amusing. I found Simon's myriad of channels in 2020 when COVID kicked off the WFH revolution, and he's been a significant feature of my workdays ever since. He's really grown and developed his craft so much just in those 3 years, it's kind of adorable to look back even farther to see him back then.
I read the rules... the only one in the family to do so. Should I be proud or ashamed?
proud, i do the same
Proud. Because you're the person keeping the otherwise shambolic free-for-all in some sense of order.
house rules, take a 1hour game make it last 4hours in hell
all of the above
FrankZito29
its supposed to be about a hour game with no house rules
yeah well, when i bought the monopoly to play with my friend, i grab the rule paper thingy and tried to read it but my friend said "ow, no need to read that crap, i know perfectly how to play it", after playing it i realize that he was saying bulllshit
Yep mine friend refuse to follow the rule
Refuse to play with people who refuse to even read the rules. That's true of any game.
This is like watchmojo but it's entertaining
This is like Watchmojo, if Watchmojo did their own research.
This like Watchmojo, if Watchmojo had any content with actual substance.
Matthew Riggs you got your 100th liker , your welcome
The sad thing is that the folks behind this channel have their own Top Ten List channel, and it has more subscribers than this one.
How dare you insult Watchmojo they've made classic videos like Top 10 Anime deaths and Top 10 Anime intro songs
OMG! Just landed on this, watching with interest, shocked at Simons younger and slimmer beard. I’m more used to the current look in the other 25 channels he presents
0:59 You're welcome
Jorgie thank you
Is that you maui?
Thanks, this nigga talk too much.
