Oh we played with ALL the house rules. Fines on Free Parking, substitute pieces for houses when they ran out, per-determined trading periods, all so we could maintain some vaguely stable hierarchy of monopolies that inexorably lurch toward the one at the top winning. I’m sure I’ve never played actual Monopoly.
Yeah, all those things drag the game out. We did the money goes into free parking thing and all our games dragged out 6+ hours as well when I was a kid.
Played it by the rules as an adult and it went pretty fast.
