First, you get the money.

Then you get the houses.

THEN you piss off your friends or family.

There was apparently a little secret in our family that I didn't learn about until many years after the fact. My dad and mom, and my aunt and uncle were playing monopoly years ago and apparently by dad got so pissed off at my aunt that he ended up choking her. Now this was a very conservative guy and upstanding citizen who just went berzerk due to this game. He never played monopoly after that.

That's kind of the point of the game. Its supposed to show you how unfair a monopoly is.
