This is the second Hasbro game on sale this week that blows.

I've not played on anything else other than difficulty level hard, and from what I can tell, the game becomes harder only in that the other AIs cooperate in trading. I just had two AI trade Connecticut Ave (giving the other the monopoly) for States Ave (no opportunity to build) one-for-one. Nothing to sweeten the deal, just an even trade.

Had the same thing happen in a previous game when AI traded Boardwalk for Marvin Gardens + $2. Gave both the chance to build. WTF?

With the cards, AI-drawn cards generally earn them money or properties, while player-drawn cards seem to cost money every time.

Best advice is to get a minimum of one of each color early. When someone owns ONE of a color you don't, trade for money and keep it. if they get two, they'll never give you one for anything other than a rediculous amount of cash, or something on which they can build. Otherwise the AI will trade-f#ck you.

The only thing religious on Christmas in my family is our love of Monopoly with NO house rules, and the crap I'm seeing with the AI here is so absurd, even the worst players in real life wouldn't do. I'm no sore loser, but it takes the fun out of it completely.
