Does anyone actually like Monopoly? It is the worst board game in existence.
To me, it's not even a game, because players don't make any decisions. You roll a die and go a number of steps, no player agency so far. After that you technically have a decision to buy or not to buy the property. But it is not really a decision, you need to buy it, if you can afford it.
I believe the main reason people say that they don't like board games is because the only board game they played is Monopoly.
