Hm, I do remember that Monopoly's actual rules are better than most people's house rules. Maybe the Uno people have a point?

The two main rules that get ignored are 1. Free Parking is exactly that, you don't get anything for landing on it, and 2. If you land on an unowned property and decide not to buy, it immediately goes up for auction. Ignoring those rules drags the game out forever. It's supposed to be relatively short and brutal.

Also that if there's no houses left in the bank you can't buy more, even if you buy enough houses to buy a hotel.

Which is why the best strategy is to buy 4 houses and never upgrade to a hotel. It prevents others from buying houses. And you can’t just skip straight to a hotel in the actual rules either. You have to have 4 houses and the next turn you can buy a hotel.

To max your strategy you can buy the hotel, if you also have enough money to buy all the houses back on the same turn.

Using the actual rules of the game, you’ve typically already won by the time you’re at the point of having that much money lol.
