124.Monopoly (WhiteLens)


To be honest, Monopoly is probably the only game on this list I outright hate. I havent played it in years on purpose. Im not sure Ive ever legitimately finished a game of Monopoly. Its on my personal banned games list. If someone were to ask me to play Monopoly, I would feign illness or punch them in the face, whichever is easier. Sure, its fun enough the first few times around the board when everythings still open, buying railroads, getting Chance cards, and passing Go for a free 200 bucks.

However, once the properties start getting bought up, its a slow descent into madness (and I emphasize slow because this game takes forever if you dont cut corners) as you keep finding yourself in jail, desperately trying to roll two of the same number, and repeatedly cursing your luck because you could never land on Park Place or Boardwalk when no one owned them, but you land on one of them every single time around the board once someone else owns them. And if someone claims the dog piece before I can, heaven help you, because youve taken my one source of joy in this game other than the game giving me hope that if Pennybags can finish second in a beauty pageant, maybe I could, too. Id rather go bankrupt in real life than play an entire game of Monopoly. Im pretty sure I read a statistic somewhere that Monopoly is a top 5 cause of divorce in America, so please, protect your families and never play this game again.

Bonus Question: What is your least favorite board game?
