The presenter explained that he had been playing with his son and after landing on Park Lane, the second priciest property on the standard UK board, he chose not to purchase it. His son then said he was "buying it" instead, leaving the radio personality confused. "Hang on champion, you can't buy that, you didn't land on it," he told his son. However, the young boy insisted that if a player lands on a property but chooses not to buy it, it then goes up for auction. After scanning the rule book, the presenter was taken aback to learn his son was right. I thought it was Monopoly money,' admits man who found $8k cash in a pile on road – what he did with it was a surprise "If anyone lands on a property in Monopoly, and they don't buy it, the other plays can auction it," he confirmed. His co-host Cat Lynch admitted that she also "didn't know that", adding: "You've blown my mind". The radio show discussion went viral on TikTok, totalling 1.3 million views. People shared their thoughts on the revelation in the comments section. "Bruh, that's why it always took hooooours for us to finish," wrote one baffled viewer. What is the longest game of Monopoly ever recorded? While not officially cited in the Guinness World Records, it is widely believed that the longest game of Monopoly lasted a total of 1,680 hours. This equals to 70 days of playing. "Oh damn, I think I owe my kids an apology, all this time I thought they were trying to cheat," said another person. "Wow, been playing it wrong my whole life," a third TikTok user admitted. However, others insisted that this was a commonly known rule of the game. "P***es me off when people argue against this rule. Game goes on for months if you ignore it," said one radio listener. "I'm a rules girl and am 100 percent a Monopoly girl. I love the Auction rule," wrote another person. The official guidelines dictate: "Whenever a player lands on an unowned property he may buy that property from the Bank at its printed price. "If he does not wish to buy the property it is sold at auction by the Banker to the highest bidder."

Monopoly fans left 'mindblown' after discovering they've been playing it wrong
Monopoly is a classic feature of many family get-togethers - though it can often spark a bit of a row. There's typically someone who bends the rules, someone who takes the game too seriously, and someone who gets easily wound up. A round of Monopoly can drag on for hours, but it's actually supposed to last just 60 to 90 minutes. So why does it always seem to take an eternity? It appears that many of us have been playing the board game, which dates back to 1903, incorrectly. There's a lesser-known rule that can drastically change the game's trajectory and speed it up considerably. However, not everyone is keen on this rule, reports the Mirror. This overlooked rule has recently resurfaced online, with many confessing they've been playing the game wrong all along. The subject was brought up on the Triple M Breakfast show, where presenter Beau Ryan admitted he'd had a "realisation the other day" while playing Monopoly with his son. A snippet of the conversation was posted on TikTok. After landing on Park Lane, the second priciest property on the standard UK board, he chose not to purchase it. His son then exclaimed: "Buying it!" Puzzled, Beau responded: "Hang on champion, you can't buy that, you didn't land on it." But his son insisted that if the person who lands on a property doesn't buy it, it goes up for auction. Beau was sceptical and asked his son to fetch the rule book - and was taken aback when his son turned out to be right. Beau clarified: "If anyone lands on a property in Monopoly, and they don't buy it, the other plays can auction it." Co-host Cat Lynch responded: "I didn't know that. You've blown my mind." Beau also expressed his opinion that this lesser-known regulation "ruins the game". In the comments, many were surprised to learn about this actual rule. "Wow, been playing it wrong my whole life," one user admitted. "This is why Monopoly takes so long. I get it now," another remarked, while a third shared: "You just ruined Monopoly for everyone." Still, there were some who were already aware of the rule. "P***es me off when people argue against this rule. Game goes on for months if you ignore it," a commenter pointed out. Another said: "I'm a rules girl and am 100 percent a Monopoly girl. I love the Auction rule. Also, Free Parking is a nothing square. You don't claim money put in the middle. The money going in the middle should be paid to bank." According to the official guidelines: "Whenever a player lands on an unowned property he may buy that property from the Bank at its printed price [...] If he does not wish to buy the property it is sold at auction by the Banker to the highest bidder."

You've been playing Monopoly wrong as there's 'mind-blowing' little-known rule
Monopoly players have only just discovered a little-known rule which could speed up the whole board game, but not everyone is a fan of the 'mind-blowing' addition Monopoly is a staple game at many family gatherings - but it can often get quite heated. There's usually someone who cheats, someone who takes it too seriously, and someone who gets easily annoyed. A game of Monopoly can take hours, but apparently it's actually meant to last around 60 to 90 minutes. So why does it always take so long? It turns out many of us have been playing the board game, which can be traced back to 1903, wrong. There's a little-known rule which can completely alter the course of the game, and make it a lot quicker. But not everyone is a fan of it. The forgotten rule has recently surfaced online, and many have admitted they've been playing it wrong this whole time. The topic was discussed on the Triple M Breakfast show, where host Beau Ryan said he'd had a "realisation the other day" after playing Monopoly with his son. A clip of the chat was shared to TikTok. After landing on Park Lane, which is the second most expensive property on the standard UK board, he decided not to buy it. However, his son then shouted: "Buying it!". Confused, Beau had replied: "Hang on champion, you can't buy that, you didn't land on it." But his son then claimed the property goes to auction if the person who landed on it doesn't buy it. Beau didn't believe his son and asked him to go and get the rule book - and he was left shocked when his son was correct. Beau explained: "If anyone lands on a property in Monopoly, and they don't buy it, the other plays can auction it." Fellow co-host Cat Lynch said: "I didn't know that. You've blown my mind." Beau went on to say he thinks this little-known rule "ruins the game". In the comment section, it became clear others also had no idea these were the real rules. "Wow, been playing it wrong my whole life," said one person. "This is why Monopoly takes so long. I get it now," wrote another, while a third commented: "You just ruined Monopoly for everyone." However, some people knew the rules all along. "P***es me off when people argue against this rule. Game goes on for months if you ignore it," said one person. Someone else wrote: "I'm a rules girl and am 100% a Monopoly girl. I love the Auction rule. Also, Free Parking is a nothing square. You don't claim money put in the middle. The money going in the middle should be paid to bank." In the rules, it states: "Whenever a player lands on an unowned property he may buy that property from the Bank at its printed price [...] If he does not wish to buy the property it is sold at auction by the Banker to the highest bidder."
