Fair enough but what’s the monopoly board got to do with that

Go for oranges and light blues, if you get those early enough you win.
Light blues have the cheapest houses and can be used as an engine to fund others, if one person lands on them once you can basically insta-quad house or hotel them.
Oranges are the most efficient house to payment increase in the game, also people get sent to go and jail making them more likely to land on light blue and orange squares.
Once you're late game like this you may as well just end it because you're just delaying the inevitable.

If my wife would play and get jazzed enough to take a picture - worth it.

I don't think I have actually finished a game of monopoly.

Never buy hotels. 4 houses is the way

I usually aim to own the free parking corner as it's not too buy but with hotels can be very expensive to land on plus 9 times out of 10 if opponents don't land on the orange set they'll land on the red

As a fan of skip-bo, monopoly, and divorce, I suggest you look into seven wonders.
Board game, there is a playstyle where you can do 1v1. My wife and I played the ever loving shit out of it during quarantine, so much so that we started making custom rules. Super fun game for 1v1.

Tell him the game is over. You have the high ground.

Try it in Xbox or playstation. It takes all the work out of it and makes it go quickly.

Good idea to take a pic of the board before it gets “accidentally” knocked over.

4 houses is only if you are trying to choke out your opponent, (since the total number of houses is intentionally limited)

Isn't that the point of the game?

There's also 7 Wonders Duel that is made specifically for 2 players. Also very fun.

I get the joke of Monopoly taking forever, but it doesn't take very long if you play by the actual rules of the game.

Fake! Light blue and purple at opposite side, but has same colored houses on it. :D
wubbbalubbadubdub t1_iybzyu2 wrote
Sure choking them out is the point of the game, but smart players will never let you get a 3rd property without trading for a 3rd of their own. Typically in that situation you'll want to prioritise getting the most money you can out of them so hotels can be worth it.
4 houses is usually the way, but sometimes hotels are fine.

7 wonders is great if you're 4-5 people, but if you plan on playing as two duels is 100% a better game.

Only monopoly when there are no firearms in the home.

This is what is called foreshadowing

I'll have to try duels. We had lots of fun with the base game 1v1 and manipulating the 3rd "npc" player
