It's that time of year when families all over the country dust off the Monopoly set and get together for a game. But there's a good chance you've not been playing it the right way.
A lesser-known rule has been highlighted by a boardgame player online, with the post going viral after many realised they've been playing it incorrectly, reports the Mirror. The Monopoly fan, who goes by the username Dtrain22, shared the revelation on Twitter, and it shocked social media users.
They said: "Just found out I've played Monopoly wrong my whole life. If you don't buy a property you land on it goes to auction for everyone for any bid amount. Had no idea."
