Monopoly World Record

Thousands of people gather to set world record on playing Monopoly together.
See this news. London, Tokyo, Frankfurt, Bogota, Lisbon, Hong Kong, Las Vegas and more than a dozen additional locations...

I played Monopoly maybe once or twice. Roll dice. Build house. Go to jail suddenly... go around and around. It can go on for hours. Yawn. Boring. Just how do you gather that many people to play that game? Chess, Clue, Yahtzee, Scrabble, and even Life are much more fun and have a forseeable end. Not so with Monopoly... I don't quite understand why people enjoy it so much.

Monopoly has so many local and even world editions. I have even seen Monopoly for Transformers! I don't know how well those sell. There are many editions for chess too... but only the standard looking ones are authentic.
