Monopoly is a fun game, but it usually takes hours to play and ends in a fight. These modified rules help to speed the game up to under 30 minutes, which makes it a lot more fun to play.

1:13 I was intrigued by the idea of using poker chips and rounding to the nearest $5. I wondered how rounding would affect the rent of the game so I calculated it. By rounding to the nearest $5 (and rounding Mediterranean's $2 up to $5), the single properties will have an overall average of $0.15 more rent, and the average dice roll on the board will pay $0.09 more rent to single properties. This average difference is negligible, and with higher average rent it is slightly more likely to end the game faster than not. Rounding to the nearest $5 changes the average rent less than always rounding up or always rounding down, so rounding to the nearest $5 is the most accurate to the original. 19 out of the 28 properties are affected without a full set, all except St. Charles Place, States Avenue, Illinois Avenue, the 2 Dark Blues, and the 4 Railroads. No properties with buildings have their rent affected, as all are in increments of $5. Community Chest/Chance cards all use increments of $5 outside of versions in 1935-1937.
You forgot the rule about how the game ends when the first person goes bankrupt, and then winner is the person with the most money after all the properties and hoses are sold
This was a great video, Im surprised there isn't other videos talking about this!
Paper money is better
Poker chips idea sounds great. I calculated how many chips I'd need to replace the paper money and ended up with around 100 to 120 of each 5, 25 and 100.. but chips are quite expensive.. I wonder with the additional rules you've set, if we can do with less.. by experience how many chips do you need?
How about adding a fine to Free Parking instead of not doing anything on it? That way players can be easily thrown off guard and speed up the game.
Not a tip but : insted of slowly roling dice and the 1 2 3 4 .. You quickly roll and moove
0:21 This depends on what version of Monopoly you have the current versions show which cards are which by having their respective logos on the back Community Chest and Chance cards so you know which one is which. While the older versions don’t have their logos on the cards.
