Interesting, but false. They have forgotten the fact that properties that are landed on MUST be purchased, whether directly or by auction. Let me show you the actual turn out of that "theoretical" game.

Even without Player 1 getting smashed the next turn, his plan failed miserably. If you're going to play Monopoly, play by the rules and expect to spend a good long time doing it. Monopoly was designed to be played over a long time. That's where long term strategy comes in. Anyone saying Monopoly is a waste of time has never really played the game. If anything, it is a great teaching tool. Oh, BTW, there is NO way to do those turns in 21 seconds.

then player 1 in theory could buy the land for 2 bucks instead of 1.

Post subject:	Re: winning monopoly in 21 seconds
then player 2 in theory could buy the land for 3 bucks instead of 2. Until the bid price reaches the normal price it is still worth bidding. Thus, player 2 would continue to bid until he either thought it was high enough to hurt player 1 or until it reached the printed price. Either way you slice it, this plan would be ruined by any half intelligent player. While it may look good in theory, that's all it is. Good looks and theory. Neither of which will win for you in monopoly OR the real world. I'm not trying to fight with you, Trekkie. I'm just pointing out that his perfect strategy is quite flawed.

i do believe that almost every who has played monopoly has had some sort of customized ruling. who knows. i remember any tax that you pay went to free parking.

Yea, custom rules are part of the game. We usually have any money that normally goes to the bank (taxes, building repairs, etc) go to free parking.

That's one of the things that makes the game take hours and hours. If you play with the proper rules of the game, it's supposed to be a short game. (Although, not 21 seconds short). No one ever wants to play the real rules though.
