On-line Monopoly game

Years ago (late 80s, early 90s), I wrote a game of Monopoly for the PC in Turbo Pascal. I did write a Windows port (to Delphi) at some point later, but the DOS, Turbo Pascal version was always my favourite.

I wrote it purely for myself, as a hobby. I was quite pleased with the way it played, and how it tried to deal with itself and with human players.

A lifetime later, I've now retired, and it's been nagging at the back of my mind ever since that I'd like to port my original game over to a web interface.

I've finally found time to do it, so I post it here purely for comments and/or constructive criticism. It's free to play, and although you can optionally register (to allow access to save games, and to see more details about how the AI players think), you're not forced to register and can play it fully anonymously.

I feel that AI players play quite well. They deal reasonably sensibly (imo!), and very, very occasionally you might come across a "stupid" AI player, or maybe an AI player who tries to cheat and get away without paying rent.

It does allow more than 1 human player, but I haven't fully tested that (particularly interactions between human players if they try to deal with each other), so that may not work yet. The reason I haven't looked at that much is that I have an idea for a proper multiplayer option in the back of my mind.

I'm based in the UK, so the default option is the UK version. You can select US from the version dropdown, but I haven't tested that much (it's basically just config files anyway, but I may have some things wrong).

It also supports "Quick Game" (using the Quick Dice).

Anyway, if you want a look, it's here: https://www.zz9.com/apps/monopoly/ — just let me know what you think!

House rules to bankrupt players faster?

I play monopoly wity family, but although we use the official rules (no money on free parking, auctioning properties) games still last 2+ hours because players aren't willing to trade properties resulting in a stalemate.

Do you have any houserules that solve this and make games go faster?

Thanks

Anyone know where I can find high quality photos of all the property cards?

I've been trying to find a good set of pngs for each property deed for a video I'm doing, but I can't seem to find any. I'm preferably looking for the newish standard ones with the rent, houses, hotels, etc.

In search of "Monopoly Zuidplas".

Hello, hope I am kind of at the right place though I don't have my hopes up. As the title states I am in search of a preferably near complete-complete Monopoly Zuidplas version. Might have only dropped in the Netherlands, can't really find anything on it except one X post.

My bf saw it once but didn't buy it at the time and now it is nowhere to be found. Not on Marktplaats, Kleinanzeigen or Ebay.
