Children play it for fun because they get to play make-believe about money, play the banker, etc. Just handling fake money makes it fun to them because they are interested in the world on that level. The game itself is not fun to anyone, and I don't think adults ever actually play it without children...

Last I played was as an adult with 3 other friends. To make it tolerable we had a rule that, on landing on someone else's property, we could either pay up or drink a shot of rum. Mistakes were made.

I used to and still play with my friends over and what we do is save the game state in writing for the properties, status cards, money, houses/hotels and we use rubber bands to keep games going for years.

New people mean new game, same people we just continue the last state
