Despite the popularity of this enjoyable house rule it is not included in the official ruleset. Ironically, many "house rules" applied to Monopoly are examples of taking Rule Zero too far; in trying to make the game more fun, they actually wreck the balance of the game and give it its undeserved reputation for being slow and ponderous. One of the key offenders here is ignoring the auction rules laid out in the instructions; whenever a player lands on a property for the first time, if they choose not to purchase it, it ''must'' be auctioned to the highest bidder. Many casual players believe this is too cumbersome, but it actually speeds up the game considerably.

	*If it wasn't for house rules modern [[Chess]] would not exist. The original rules of chess differ from modern chess by the following rules: pawns cannot move 2 squares on their first turn, there is no ~~casting~~, the queen can only move one square like the king, the bishop can only move a maximum of 2 squares but can jump over pieces, there is no en passant. As chess travelled around the world different cultures came up with their own house rules which eventually became standardised which is why we get chess variants like [[Shogi]] and [[Hia Shatar]]. Some of these cultures invented the same house rule independently like the modern European bishop and the shogi bishop being able to move an unlimited amount of squares diagonally. The most recent adjustment to the official chess rules was in 1974 after Tim Krabbé published a joke chess problem where the solution was to castle vertically.		*If it wasn't for house rules modern [[Chess]] would not exist.
