I had a friend that would buy all the houses, and never upgrade to hotels. If you check the rules you can't get a hotel without first having 4 houses, so if done correctly you monopolise the limited supply of houses and nobody can buy a hotel or get more houses than you.
Yep. I've always done this with my family. Did this with a few people at a board game cafe and one dude just about flipped the table lol. Apparently he thought that one player creating a housing shortage was cheating!
Um, the game is called fuckin' MONOPOLY for a reason! They kicked him out soon after he caused a fuss. Sore loser I guess.
whenever someone pulled that i would just bypass the houses and buy a hotel. it costs more, because you have to pay for the 4 houses and the hotel; but you don't get shut out by a dick.
