Fun fact: There is nothing in the current rules preventing players cooperating with one another. Sharing properties and letting one another off mortgages etc.

Its a really fun way to annoy people who say they know how to win by being hyper-capitalist. You can win in short order and they are furious.

@Holir_ @Heliograph Basically two or more players agree not to charge the others when they land on a property, pool cash, what ever you like basically.

The rules don't forbid things explicitly its more like "if you are going to do xyz then you have to do it like this". You can literally make up rules to allow you to cooperate.

My brother says he is a "capitalist". He really hated it when myself and a friend played him at monopoly. He thought he knew how to play the game. It ended with him frantically reading the rules then storming off in a massive sulk. It was a fun Xmas

@robcornelius @Holir_ @Heliograph someone also suggested leaving properties with four houses to starve other players of upgrade opportunities as part of that strategy.

Only recently saw a meme were one person said something along the lines of "If no-one buys any property in Monopoly, all players are gaining money and nobody loses in the end"
