Comments criticize Monopoly's flawed mechanics like player elimination, compounding advantages, and lack of real strategy, while suggesting rule modifications for endless play or recommending superior alternatives such as Diplomacy, Catan, Fluxx, and Nomic that feature negotiation, changing rules, and balanced gameplay.

No dice? Sounds like they'd be better off playing Diplomacy instead.
Can I just enjoy my Catan game?
Is there a board game where one's advantage doesn't compound, though?
This absolutely is a game of strategy ... perhaps you've misunderstood it.
This could make for an interesting board game mechanic hmmm
Not having your success hinge on random chance. Try Diplomacy for a less hollow victory.
Players at Monopoly tournaments are changing the rules?
What are one or more modifications to the board game Monopoly which would allow the gameplay to sustain itself; which is to say that nobody would win?
What a strange game. The only move to win is to cheat.
Get them to play Fluxx, and we'll be talking...(this one, where ever changing rules is part of the game: https://www.looneylabs.com/games/fluxx )
