Your Monopoly rules

The only rule in our house is: Pick something other than Monopoly.

If going simple old school, I'd agree with Gammawolf that Risk is so much better. Totally different kind of game, sure... but still so much better.

For a more lively time with the whole family, I'll always have a soft spot for Balderdash.
 
I used to play ratrace a lot with the family. Similar in a lot of ways to monopoly but quicker to play. It was possible to gamble big on the stock exchange and snatch victory from the jaws of defeat.

I agree, this is a thread for GD.

Good work! May I politely suggest a question to use as a yardstick when considering moving threads: 'who is the OP's target audience and what response is he expecting?' This is commonly a problem with food and drink threads. If I were to ask a thread recommending a nice red wine, I'd ask in the food forum. If I'm asking 'what snacks did you have at school?' then I would be inviting silly responses and a general discussion around the subject.

Anyway, on with the show!

Another observation, with party games that involve shouting out answers, specifically games such as pictionary and rapidough. Manly men tend to speak quickly and blurt out ten thousand answers per second. Girly girls however, in addition to the above, raise the volume of their voice at least tenfold. My god, I'm surprised I don't have tinnitus.
 
I don't understand the once around the board without buying, what's the logic behind that?
 
The once around the board before buying might be a case of chinese whispers. It's supposed to be you can't buy houses or hotels before you've been round the board.
 
I play the Free Parking one, but only for fines of less than £100. Otherwise it can give someone far too much of an advantage.
