  • Monopoly is a classical board game which is focused on property management and destroying relationships with all friends and family as efficiently and entertainingly as possible. This game is so popular it has almost an infinite amount of spin offs from starwars monopoly to monopoly fortnite. Now of course the issue with the game is it can go on for a long time with very little changing however with the spiffing brit playing monopoly plus we will be demonstrating a monopoly turn 1 victory. Some would say unlimited money might be a game exploit however really it just leads to more funny moments.
    This video is going to be packed with funny clips in a montage style of british humor!
    If you enjoyed this then check out my other 100 stat man and perfectly balanced game series videos!
    It is also rather similar to Robbaz , Valefisk and RT Game in style of content!
    So sit back relax and enjoy this Monopoly challenge!

    Unironically; I had a game of monopoly last just over a month. About 5 hours a week between 5 of us.
    We lost players 4 and 5 about 2 weeks in; but the rest of us were both too stubborn to stop, and all so horrifically unlucky that we'd not end up winning either.
    The game ended due to, no shit; the board catching on fire.

      @@johnmartinez7440 Except it's not necessarily fun? Or at least, can negatively effect the fun people have? Like Spiff said in the beginning, any game with a couple bots could do this. I wonder how many games have been played that have been effectively ruined by one of the players exploiting the hell out of it, or just simply how much the average game has been effected due to this bug. I can imagine how someone who played a full game with the hardest bots and completely kicking their butts might feel once they learn that the bots have been unintentionally giving them more favorable deals than they should with any mortgaged property. Especially if it's learned particularly after-the-fact and they can't quite remember if they sold mortgaged properties, or how many they have.
      It just kinda takes away the feeling of achievement that one could have... as opposed to just being sent flying in a situation where you're already dead anyways.

    My favorite monopoly story is that i obtain all of the smaller bills in paper monopoly and force all the other players to not have the ability to give each other change.

    It's actually fascinating that this game was created by a female mathematician, and the mathematics behind it are really quite complex to produce an entertaining game, including the mathematics that make it more and more difficult to land on the more profitable spaces rather than the crappier properties and such.
    It's not a coincidence that landing on the final two mega properties isn't likely, but we always seem to land on the taxation space inbetween. It's very well crafted mathematical modelling.

    This reminds me of when I used to play Monopoly Party on the PS2 as a kid. This game has something called 'immunities' that you can trade, where a player would not have to pay rent on a given property for a set number of turns. The AI valued immunities quite low, to the point where they'll give them out on their properties with no trouble. It's been a very long time... but to my recollection, I would give myself a boatload of immunities on their properties in exchange for giving them a monopoly, and they would take it every time. What this ultimately meant is that I could continue to collect rent on my properties, but I would have to pay little/no rent to the AI. >:)

    Early in the video you mentioned Monopoly normally being a long game - in a university writing class, my class read an essay from the New Yorker by John McPhee called “The Search for Marvin Gardens. The author mentions that a game can be completed by the rules in under 15 minutes. I went home and tried it, and found it quite realistic to do so, finishing a game with my brother-in-law in almost exactly 15 minutes. It turns out that the main problem with Monopoly is that people don’t follow the rules, and also introduce their own house rules that extend the play time. Im with the common consensus that as normally played, Monopoly can be rough, but playing it by the rules is actually rather fun.

    • @Wyzai
      @Wyzai Před 3 lety +11

      I find it hard to believe you can do it that quickly. There are definitely house rules that make the games longer, but the official rules aren't quick. The game becomes quick if you have bad players, but it can be extended through basic strategy and luck (you buy property and go to jail = free rent for 3 turns) by a large amount.

    • @underthelidar
      @underthelidar Před 3 lety +17

      @@Wyzai That game did really finish quickly. There are a few official rules that many players aren’t aware of because house rules typically ignore them. For example, as shown in the exploit, if a property isn’t purchased by the first player who lands on it, it is immediately auctioned. This rule alone speeds things up a great deal. It gets properties into the hands of players very quickly, even if they can’t afford the normal prices. After just a couple rounds of the board, you are almost always landing on an owned property, and money moves quickly towards the majority owners. I don’t think every game would be that quick, and multiple players would be slower than just 2, but I think 15-30 minutes is reasonable for most games if the rules are diligently followed. Unfortunately I can’t find many more people to play with because house rules have ruined it for a lot of people.

      @@underthelidar most people don’t play with rules such as that ( or at least personally) because If you’re playing with people who, ( guess you can this is also a personal opinion) are actually good at the game, your not getting any property that goes to auction for less then the listed price. Only time people will let you get it for cheap are when they are bad players like the previous commenter stated. That’s the only way I see a game played by official rules will ever be quick.

      @speakdino10 Před 2 lety +13

      @@andrewlund-nielsen4234 The auction rule isn't intended to get the property to other players for cheap. It's designed to prevent the players from continuously passing "lesser" properties in pursuit of more expensive properties. It forces the early stage of the game (actually getting all the properties bought out) to go quickly, which then gets money moving between players more quickly.
      The auction rule coupled with trading can get houses and hotels down faster, which gets the final stage of the game to go quicker too. Obviously that doesn't guarantee a 15 minute game, but it should prevent the tedious and boring aspect of this game.

    As flawed as this game is, it's easily the best Monopoly video game ever.

      Its the best looking, I can tell there was some passion involved with designing the living board. My family doesn't have a monopoly board so we used this as a substitute and for that its really good

      Monopoly Party on PS2 is the best.

      Monopoly on Windows 95 is the best. This isn't a debate.
      EDIT: One like! Let's start a rally!

      Monopoly Streets for the Wii is pretty fun…

      Actually, no, just no, there are probably about 10 monopoly games better than this one, you just aren't a big enough monopoly fan to know about them

    Seeing the British version of monopoly is messing with my head.
