Funny, Monopoly in my childhood invariably ended with a massive fight between siblings. It’s still a ‘sort-of’ family joke.

In my opinion Monopoly is one of the worst possible options to choose for a game night, and has turned countless of people away from board games. It's a real shame that this abomination is so often the default choice when there are literally tens of thousands of better games around.

It was indeed literally created as a model of a terrible dynamic. The intended result was to come out of the game thinking "this was terrible, we should never get close to anything like this again"
