Monopoly was literally designed to be terrible, it's a sardonic statement against capitalism expressed as a game that's meant to tire you out. The house rules definitely make it worse, but Monopoly isn't a good game without them, or even intended to be.

I still hate actual Monopoly because it's all about fucking over everyone else. I don't mind competitive over cooperative in a board game, but Monopoly pretty much always rewards asshole behavior.

I learnt about the auctions while playing a Monopoly videogame.

But I can't find anywhere where it says rent goes in the bank 🤔

I'm not against custom rules that everyone has previously agreed upon.

However, bringing up on the go random made up rules...

Elbows!!!
