As a kid my parents bought this for me and I was fascinated by the pewter pieces, the property cards, and all the other pieces. It held promises of infinite fun. When I finally played it it at 10 it was ok but we didn't finish. Fast forward 16 years and after 20 minutes the game board me to tears (pun intended). The problem is after a while the game relies on luck for you to land on the unbought properties. There is another version of Monotony that has a special die which speeds up the game greatly by allowing you to advance to the next unowned property. That made the game more bearable but still it's not something I'd ever play again.
If you have never played this game I STRONGLY recommend you play it at least once with someone before buying your own copy. Otherwise, don't waste your money. There are a lot of other games that are MUCH more fun and enjoyable, including many "Euro" style that have more depth and background. My copy of Monotony is going to Goodwill next time I go there.
My recommendations
Party: Buzzword, Catchphrase, Cheroodles, Pictionary,
Cinemaplexity, Taboo, The Great Dalmuti, Too Many Cooks
Trivia: Wits and Wagers, NewsHound, In Pursuit
Euro Style (requires a bit more thought but have much more depth): Carcassonne, Shadows Over Camelot, Ticket to Ride, Agricola
