Monopoly is a hard game to screw up, but Ubisoft has managed to do it.

The core gameplay of Monopoly is there - roll the dice, move your piece, buy property, etc. However, "advanced" mechanics such as trading property, buying houses, mortgaging properties, and so on is frustrating as hell. There is no easy way to manage these processes - it's complicated, convoluted, and takes too much time. Plus, you can only set all this up on your own turn - why not allow players to setup during their off time?

Plus, the game is buggy as hell. Like everyone else has mentioned, the random disconnects, crashes, the forced connection to Ubisoft Connect (JUST... WHY?!), and the setup times just make the game tedius and not worth it. Why the hell isn't there a version of this game where you can get a game started in less than a minute?

MONOPOLY SHOULD NOT HAVE TO BE SO COMPLICATED TO GET STARTED.
