Yes that is what the point of Monopoly was.

Yes it is ironic that it was bought out by one of the largest toy companies in the world.

I still love the game. IDK why it feels like an abusive relationship.

The abuse comes from people who don't play by the rules. No property auctions, put tons of money on free parking that goes to whoever lands there, that kind of shit. This is what makes monopoly take hours.

I love playing free parking rules! Makes the whole game feel much more realistic since its literally a diceroll

realistic

Has anyone personally known to you become randomly wealthy?

Keeping in mind Monopoly dollars are big enough to buy streets, utilities, houses and hotels

Oh I see your playing the legacy monopoly where house prices sort of match the money paid out by the bank....you need to index property and utilities to inflation but you don't adjust any of the money paid out by the bank to the players.

Aka Millennial monopoly.

The game is over much faster, unless you introduce a gig economy payment system. Then it really drags on.
