Hmmm, true. Isn't it less fun when the game just ends abruptly because someone rolled into free parking? Unless it's endgame like the other person described but I don't imagine that lasting long enough to get too boring. IDK, I don't have friends to play monopoly. This is opposed to other house rules that, could sometimes make the game more fun. Like "you can stack plus cards" in uno makes the game play more like those funny internet videos about it.

History of Monopoly is fascinating:

It began as:

The Landlord's Game is a board game patented in 1904 by Elizabeth Magie as U.S. patent 748,626. A realty and taxation game intended to educate users about Georgism, it is the inspiration for the 1935 board game Monopoly.
