Ah, Monopoly. No other game can bring families together in such a way – before inevitably ripping them apart.
The humble board game has been the source of tantrums, fights, accusations and, in many cases, long-held grudges, since we can remember.
Monopoly makers know this, and are clearly feeling a sense of responsibility to their customers for thousands, if not millions, of arguments worldwide.
That’s why Hasbro has set up a hotline to help solve families their disputes about the game this Christmas before it all ends in tears, UK news website Metro reports.

If someone buys the property you want you can trade with them for it. That's one of the main ideas of the game.
I would certainly buy a property to stop someone making a set and then charge them over the market prices to buy it from me.
i doubt many australians play the US version. we tend to mostly play english or australian monopoly
I play the US version!
I've only ever played the US one... guess that's just what my family had. Always trips me up when there's a Monopoly quiz question cause I have no idea of the English street names!!
I've only ever played the US and English versions. Had no idea there was an Australian version!
i was given the australian version back in the eighties. our usual first fight on games nights was between using that or the english which my family had since before i was born
