Most people don't hate actual Monopoly, they hate the house rules version of it. ~~Rent~~ Utilities go in the bank, Free Parking is just an empty space. If you don't buy the property it goes to auction.
Monopoly was literally designed to be terrible, it's a sardonic statement against capitalism expressed as a game that's meant to tire you out. The house rules definitely make it worse, but Monopoly isn't a good game without them, or even intended to be.
I learnt about the auctions while playing a Monopoly videogame.
But I can't find anywhere where it says rent goes in the bank 🤔
Yeah I meant utilities, my bad.
Oh OK, that makes more sense
