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.

A little-known rule in Monopoly has recently resurfaced online, revealing that if a player lands on a property and chooses not to buy it, the other players can auction it. This rule, which can significantly speed up the game, has surprised many who have been playing the game incorrectly for years. The revelation has sparked a debate among Monopoly enthusiasts, with some embracing the rule while others feel it ruins the game.

See? You could have won that game you played 25 years ago. Do over!
