Monopoly

I like it. The problem is that it is a bit long. I have only once finished a 3+ player game. It is really fun to play with like 4 players. That game, I had the best properties (the last 2 with 3 houses each) but my mom had 3 hotels and I fell there a billion times!
Not if you play late-night. Yes, we are following the official rules.
It doesn't affect how the game is played but we have to drop it. Specially if its of 4/5.
Understood. Are there any particular strategies that are not too mainstream that you have to win? Mine is to get one of the 5-best Colour Groups (Orange, Light Blue, Light Purple, Red, Yellow (In that order)) and prevent opponent's from getting those groups (including railroads), and just sweep the competition. I beat my dad I'd say about 19/20 games.
Generally try to get the railroads and get a group of the last 4.
One of the last 4 colours. I don't remember correctly which colors were.
I have a collector's edition that's built to imitate the first Monopoly to be created. It's pretty awesome.
I don't get how you win with the above strategy. I've tried it, but when something like that happens, you usually end up with 4 players who can't complete a color and the game never ends. Then again, we only play Monopoly if we are at least four people, so it might affect the trick. And of course, there's always the luck factor.
Personally, I always try to complete a color. It doesn't matter if it's the two first or the two last, having a color before others can get one usually does the trick.

You buy the properties from others.
Only if the others are willing to do so.
The only good Monopoly in the last four groups is the Red group (Kentucky, Indiana, and Illinois). The order of how good the groups are (statistically), is Orange (New York, St. James, Tennessee), Light Blue (Connecticut, Vermont, Oriental), and then the worst colour groups BY FAR are the Greens (Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and Pacific), the Yellows (Marvin Gardens, Ventnor, Atlantic), and the Dark Blues (Boardwalk and Park Place).
Are these based on the chance of people falling there according to common dice rolls or the prices? Because I've never seen an American Monopoly, only Greek and English, so I dunno their format.

I've always done good with green. People fell a lot in their. I will try it out next time. Which one was the order?
Orange
Light Blue
Purple
Red
The problem with the Greens are their cost. Fully developed, that's $3920. Compared to the Oranges, which cost $2060 fully developed. Here is the order of how good they are:
1) Railroads
2) Orange
3) Light Blue
4) Light Purple
5) Red
6) Dark Purple
7) Dark Blue
8) Yellow
9) Utilities
10) Green
(This list includes utilities and railroads)

One time I brought my pokemon monopoly to league and played it with one other person. The game lasted for about an hour and a half, until I won.

Gee, and everytime I played, me and my family would fight to race to get to Boardwalk and Park Place.
I always preferred trying to get all railroads myself.
