CaseyMartin / Shutterstock.com Ever been stuck in a Monopoly game that lasted so long you were reduced to a puddle of bitterness and inexplicable anger?

Of course you have. Dane Cook even had a bit about it! But what Dane Cook didn't have was a solution.

A Redditor who goes by the username "Elfer" has a solution, and he's here to teach you how to win Monopoly in such an un-fun and callous way that you might lose all your friends, and thus, will never have to play the game again.

Here's his theory:

Buy up as many houses as possible in order to freeze out the supply early in the game.

Elfer uploaded an album of images titled "How to Win At Monopoly and Lose All Your Friends" to Imgur on January 26, as well as the /r/gaming subreddit with over 9 million subscribers. It was on /r/gaming where the images quickly rose to the top of the page with a 95% upvote rate and over 5400 accumulated points.

And here's how you do it:

"A little-known rule of Monopoly is that the game has exactly 32 houses and 12 hotels," Elfer writes. "Once you run out of houses, no more can be purchased until they re-enter the supply by being sold or upgraded to hotels."

The idea is to buy any set of properties as soon as possible, even if you have to trade with other players and spend some cash up front. It doesn't matter if you get the most-landed-on squares, or the ones with the most rent. You just need to build on the first monopoly you can get with the houses, NOT the hotels. While, yes, a hotel would garner more rent, the point is to reduce the supply of houses available in the game so competitors are unable to place houses on their properties, making you the biggest cash earner.

Remember, "rent" goes up on your properties once you add houses to them. You'll need to acquire a second monopoly around the middle stage of the game. "Your goal is to play conservatively, lock up more resources, and let the other players lose by attrition," Elfer writes.

Eventually everyone else will be spending their cash on properties, but won't be able to properly build on them because you'll have a majority of the houses. They'll be periodically paying out money, without earning any, and eventually will have to bow out of the game.

Once you've successfully beaten down your opponents, Elfer recommends going out and buying a "better board game." They included a photograph of some alternatives, including Blokus, Ticket to Ride, Survive: Escape from Atlantis, and Set: The Family Game of Visual Perception.

The reason Elfer isn't fond of Monopoly boils down to its design. According to the Redditor, Monopoly was a rip-off of an earlier game called "The Landlord's Game," created to teach kids about "the inherent unfairness of the capitalist land-grabbing system, and how it enriches landlords while impoverishing tenants."

Elfer believes this design "inevitably results in one person acquiring a majority of the assets on the board, and beginning the slow, painful, friendship-destroying process of grinding the other players out of the game, turn by turn." Sound fun? We didn't think so.

Use this strategy next time you want to ensure you'll never play Monopoly against your friends again. Just make sure not to lose your social circle. No one likes a sore winner.
