There are many things I dislike about Monopoly but the randomness isn&#x27;t one of them. A good deal of games I love have a big chunk of luck&#x2F;randomness and I&#x27;m fine with it.<p>The things I dislike about Monopoly:<p>* Not too much strategy involved. The player who wins is usually the one who buys a lot of lands early.<p>* It&#x27;s long. Even the shortest games last over 90 minutes. However the winner is decided much earlier in the game. There&#x27;s very little you can do to prevent an early leader from taking the game, and you have to sit there watching them bully you slowly for several hours.<p>* The theme sucks. &quot;Buy land, make more money&quot;. I don&#x27;t find that particularly fun.<p>* The good elements of monopoly are often found in other games that don&#x27;t share the same bad elements (I&#x27;m thinking of Settlers, but there are others too).
