Exactly. How many times have you (collective) played %100 by the rules?
I'm guessing < 10 times for me, the rest of the time it was making up
local rules to make the game more interesting.
Monopoly is a extendable/hackable game. If you want, you can change it
to suit your needs. The player is involved in creating a localized game
to meet a unique set of needs. Off the top of my head, we jacked the
rules to handle things like:
- varying ages of players: issues with counting/adding/subtracting money
- varying skills of players: some people actually have a strategy
- amount of time to play a game
