Obscure Monopoly rule most people have forgotten ‘completely changes the game’ appeared on www.walesonline.co.uk by WalesOnline.
It’s that time of year when families all over the country dust off the Monopoly set and get together for a game. But there’s a good chance you’ve not been playing it the right way.
A lesser-known rule has been highlighted by a boardgame player online, with the post going viral after many realised they’ve been playing it incorrectly, reports the Mirror. The Monopoly fan, who goes by the username Dtrain22, shared the revelation on Twitter, and it shocked social media users.
They said: “Just found out I’ve played Monopoly wrong my whole life. If you don’t buy a property you land on it goes to auction for everyone for any bid amount. Had no idea.”
They even posted a screenshot of the rules where it clearly says: “Whenever a player lands on an unowned property he may buy that property from the Bank at its printed price […] If he does not wish to buy the property it is sold at auction by the Banker to the highest bidder.”
Commenters were baffled by the news, with one person saying: “Just realised that this is [probably] why my games went on for so long.” Another said: “Adds a whole new layer of ruthless,” to with the original tweeter answered: “It really changes the whole game.”
A third commented: “No wonder the game always takes me so friggin [sic] long to finish. Every time a property is landed on it’s fair game? Makes way more sense actually.”
It seems other people are also only just discovering the actual rules of Monopoly. One person recently said: “Don’t forget while playing Monopoly this Xmas, that if you don’t buy the property you land on it goes to Auction. Helps get the bloomin [sic] game done a bit quicker I find!” Another Twitter user called Ruben shared the same news in 2017. It received thousands of likes and hundreds of retweets.
