===End game===
One common criticism of ''Monopoly'' is that although it has carefully defined termination conditions, it may take an unlimited amount of time to reach them. Edward P. Parker, a former president of Parker Brothers, is quoted as saying, "We always felt that forty-five minutes was about the right length for a game, but ''Monopoly'' could go on for hours. Also, a game was supposed to have a definite end somewhere. In ''Monopoly'' you kept going around and around."<ref>{{Cite book |last=Brandreth |first=Gyles |title=The Monopoly Omnibus |publisher=Willow Books |year=1985 |isbn=0-00-218166-5 |edition=First hardcover |page=19 |author-link=Gyles Brandreth}}</ref>

Hasbro states that the longest game of ''Monopoly'' ever played lasted 70 days.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Monopoly History and Fun Facts |url=http://www.hasbro.com/monopoly/en_US/discover/history.cfm |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090810014137/http://www.hasbro.com/monopoly/en_US/discover/history.cfm |archive-date=August 10, 2009 |access-date=September 2, 2018 |website=hasbro.com}}</ref>
