The famous and much maligned, but actually good game, Monopoly of course has the characteristic that the best stuff happens to you on opponents' turns. It's a great characteristic for a lot of groups.

It's also a fairly rare characteristic despite two of the largest tabletop games ever, Catan and Monopoly, having versions of it.

Machi Koro is an excellent more modern game with the same characteristic.



I wasn’t aware of anything good ever happening with a game of monopoly. It’s a slow grind of hell.

Settlers is like a gateway drug to so many good games.


If a monopoly game takes longer than 30 minutes, you're not following the rules.


It can easily take forever following the rules if everyone plays conservatively and refuses to trade.
