I remember my friend told me the rule of purchasing property is that once you landed in a property no one owned, you either buy it or be auction off to other player, and then the game end when every property are being purchased, so each player objective is basically get as much property as possible, negotiating with other players for their property so you can own a row of land for upgrading. The game become a slog when people just don’t get property, don’t negotiate, and playing it safe.

It’s like when playing DOTA and two team decided to just farm critter for gold instead of attempting to reach the objective respectively. It’s called Monopoly, not Money Hoardy
