The second problem is young kids make dumb moves causing themselves to go bankrupt really quickly which causes crying/tantrums/etc so parents and older siblings do everything possible to make the game eat up as much time as possible (e.g. house rule - giving out cash on free parking)
As a kid I would get knocked out super quick by my uncle, who would then typically have a 6 hour non-stop Monopoly throwdown with my mother after they eliminate the casuals.
Everyone else who played would get their feelings hurt but those two were absolutely brutal with each other and loved it.
Monopoly is, by design, brutal, mean, and not fun.
That it somehow became popular entertainment anyway is...well, I’m not sure what it is. But something.
It happens when the player doesn’t buy, whether by choice or lack of cash. Technically, “yet” isn’t right, though, it’s always “any more” since starting cash is (far) more than the most expensive property on the board.
It's very specific in that if it isn't bought, it HAS to be auctioned and it HAS to be sold and that any amount can be bid.
Wwwhat I need to see experienced people playing this game by the official rules or whatever the consensus is, since official seems to change over time too
the fandom wikipedia page says "Interestingly, this is one of the most-often overlooked aspects of the game." ya don't say.
