How long should a good Monopoly game last?
Last night, my friends and I played Monopoly for almost four hours straight, and by the end, half the group had lost interest. I swear the game could go on forever if no one gives up. We tried to set a time limit, but then it felt rushed and less fun. What’s the perfect game length in your opinion? Should we play until someone goes bankrupt or just stop after a certain time and count assets?

We had the same issue until we tried the digital version at https://monopolygame.in/. It actually helps keep things balanced because it’s faster and doesn’t drag on with counting cash or managing property cards manually. You can set clear goals or time limits without losing the thrill. Personally, I think 60–90 minutes is the sweet spot — long enough to strategize but short enough that everyone stays engaged.
Haha, this made me remember our family Monopoly marathons during holidays. They’d start in the afternoon and sometimes end after midnight. No one really cared who won — it was more about hanging out and laughing at each other’s bad trades.
