Really, Really Shortest Game of Monopoly: 13 Seconds

After our recent post of what we thought was the shortest possible game of Monopoly, we were challenged on that claim and thus had to come up with an even shorter one, which we now believe is actually the shortest possible game. Only 7 rolls of the dice, players only make it halfway around the board. More detail here:

Game Sequence:

Player 1:
(1) 6-4, just visiting, has $1500
Player 2:
(2) 6-4, Just visiting, has $1500
Player 1:
(3) 3-3, buy St. James $1320
(4) 1-1, buy Tennessee $1140
(5) 3-1, Chance, “go back three spaces”, buy New York $940
Buy 3 houses for each property, $40
Player 2:
(6) 3-3 St. James Rent $550, Player 2 has $950, Player 1 has $590
Player 1 buys 1 house on St. James and Tennessee, hotel on New York, $190
(7) Player 2 rolls 2-1: New York rent is now $1000, Bankrupt.

  1. The game can be slightly adapted to a form that doesn't depend on buying houses between rolls of an opponent's turn, while still being 2 turns and never passing Go.

    Have player 1 start by rolling 11+44+15, collecting 200 from Community Chest, and upon completing the group there's enough money for 11 houses which is enough to bankrupt the opponent on rents of 750+800.

  2. Actually, house rules forbid people trading away "immunity". The only things you can trade are cash, properties, and Get Out of Jail Free cards.

    That said, you could just offer a trade "I give you $1500 in exchange for $1." and then land on Income Tax to win with one roll of the dice.

  3. I think that whole thing was just gibberish talk

  4. OK, so you add one more roll to it, make that 6 an easy 6, don't buy the property and instead up the houses, then you get bankruptcy.

  7. From the "Questions people often ask" insert that is included with official Monopoly sets:

    "Must I wait until my turn to buy houses and hotels?

    No. You may transact business – such as buying and selling houses – any time on your turn, or *between* moves by other players"

    FAQs aren't a "joke" when they come from the game's manufacturer. Your video is invalid.

  8. What's the problem with saying that if you're allowed to buy houses at any given time then your way is the fastest and if not then it's invalid. I thought the point of this video was to try and find the fastest possible monopoly game, obviously with the rules you usually play by. Apparently those aren't the latest official rules, but so what.
    In any case, fun video 🙂

  9. obviously with trades it can be much shorted but I dont think they're counting trades as it is impossible unless the person was really trying to lose

  10. You guys should try for the record. Now its 6 hours.

  11. I realize this comment is three months old, but I think the one time you SHOULDN'T be able to buy houses/hotels is right after someone has rolled or a card is drawn, just so you can't do the Boardwalk thing you mentioned a few comments ago.

  12. That's … odd.
    I remember a Playstation port that allowed you to trade temporary immunity.

  13. Whenever I play I like to use my own House rules that I made up.

  14. Did they say "fake" at the end?

  15. As far as i know you can only put 1 house pero turn

  16. I thought you're supposed to pass around the board one whole time before being able to buy properties… 😑 (Correct me if I'm wrong..)

  17. Um… There was only one chance card and zero community chests?

  19. This is the true shortest game:

    Turn 1:

    Player 1 rolls a (1,2) and lands on Baltic Avenue. He auctions it. Player 2 bids $1500 and gets it.

    Player 2 rolls a (1,3) and lands on income tax. He must pay $200 but only has $30 from mortgaging Baltic. He is bankrupt. Game over.
    🙂

  20. This is the true true shortest game:

    Turn 1: Player 1 rolls a (1,2) and lands on Baltic Avenue. He auctions it. Player 2 bids $1499, Player 1 bids 1500 and gets it. Player 1 rolls a (1,3), Chance "Pay poor tax of $15", Bankrupt.

  21. Is this real, because thats is lots of luck involved in this

  22. You guys deserve a feature on GWR

  23. I wonder what is the fastest without bonus rolls from doubles and/or without stacked chance/community chest. (either by ignoring the doubles bonus rule or not rolling doubles; 2 and 12 are only possible with doubles) Ignoring the doubles rule lets you hit Park and Boardwalk on one trip round the board, otherwise it takes two rounds to get a monopoly and you are probably best off going for a 3 property monopoly.

  24. What's the point of this…? To cheat to lose?

  25. Shortest game: Player 1 goes bankrupt on 1st turn.

    Player 1 rolls 4-4 lands on Vermont Avenue. Doesn't buy it initially so it goes to auction. Player 2 bids and player 1 changes his mind and also bids. Player 1 wins bidding and buys it for $1500.

    Player 1 rolls 5-4 lands on Community Chest. Gets 'Pay hospital fees of $100.' He hasn't got any money so goes bankrupt. Even mortgaging Vermont Avenue will only get him $50 so won't help.

    GAME OVER

  29. Oui je suis là à cause de Chris (Poisson Fécond) 🤷‍♂️

  30. This is illegal all its wrong with the video

  31. Me: “Hey dad, want a quick game of monopoly?”
    Dad: “Ok very quickly because I need to leave in 20 seconds”
    Me and my dad: 0:02

  32. Now that was insanely quick

  33. These people how much me and my family suck at this game. We take 2 hours and a half to finsish since we get lucky… I call that a half chug there

  36. mine was shorter on my first move i went to jail

  37. @SPEEDSTER7201 mine was even shorter on my first move I was bankrupt.

  38. Even if this was possible, one of the rules to monopoly is that you can't build houses unless 1) you own a monopoly, and 2) only on your turn. Notice the video information stated that player 2 rolled a 3-3, thereby giving him another roll. Player 1 at this time CANNOT build a hotel on any of his property. Therefore this game is VOID. 😀 I WIN!!!!

  39. @seaking020492 The rules state that you can buy houses At ANY TIME, not just on your turn. That's a common misconception about the rules.

  41. lol, look how he put down the 9 houses

  43. shortest game possible is when there is a trade made from the start. "I give you all my money I have now for immunity from rent on all properties you ever own." Deal is made. Next turn, land on income tax or a community chest or chance that makes you go bankrupt. one roll

  44. @seaking020492 You lose. And so did I, I lost the game.

  45. You can't place 1 house on two properties and a hotel on the third. All houses must be distributed evenly among the properties. You can do 11 houses (4, 4, and 3) but not 5 (hotel), 1, and 1.

  46. @heisanevilgenius You missed step 5, which purchases 3 houses on each orange property. In step six, the player is buying 1 more house each on St. James and Tennessee, and the equivalent of 2 more on New York–promoting it to a hotel, Which is allowed.

  48. @secretbonus No, when you haven't money or real estate, the income tax is $0.

  49. shortest game possible is not to have enough money to buy the game to begin with, you go bankrupt in real-life.

  50. @golondrinaflaca okay fine… community chest or chance same difference.
