Neat.

The longest possible game is playing with family that don’t like or don’t know the rules and like to put money on free parking.

That's when you sneeze or find some other reason to bump the table hard enough to lose the places of all of the pieces. "Ooops, I guess we'll have to pick this game up later"

Be the banker, embezzle the hell out of the bank, never worry about making rent. Eventually you’ll be discovered: “Hey! You’re cheating!”

“Huh? I thought that’s what this game was about. Y’all started it with that Free Parking nonsense.”

There is an actual official version of “Cheaters Monopoly.”

The rules are beyond convoluted, likely encouraging second derivative cheating.

What about the Lehman Brothers version instead of the one from Parker Brothers? That one has mortgage securities and toxic properties and the goal is to sell off as many properties as you can before someone calls time. The one with the least properties wins.

I (unfortunately) have a copy of that. It much more quickly results in tables being flipped; which I guess is good?

For families I recommend Monopoly Deal since the games are quicker and the theme is similar.

I played that version, for real. The lawyers got all the money and now everybody in the family hates each other. It took years.
