That's oddly similar to my house rules for monopoly. If someone brings it into my house, I declare trial by combat and while I get beaten, my wife takes the game outside and makes sure it never comes back.

    Our house rule is simply "Never Monopoly".

    My monopoly house rule is "no deviation from the OG rules" meaning you can't magically create more houses and you can't make money elsewhere except the start (or rent). Then you focus on getting a whole streets and upgrading only to 4 houses. Eventually houses run out and nobody can upgrade their properties. After that it's just attritioning out the other players.

    That is to say, Monopoly is not welcome in my house and I'm not welcomed to Monopoly in other houses. If you rules lawyer the superficial fun out of the game you're guaranteed to almost never play Monopoly. On the rare occasion you have to play you get to teach someone a valuable lesson on how Monopoly is not a fun game.
