Habro Sets Up UK Hotline for Disputes over Monopoly Games

Justin Sullivan/Getty Images(NEW YORK) — If Monopoly games dissolve into family feuds in your house, you’re not alone. Hasbro says 51 percent of games end in fights.

But do not pass go, do not collect $200 and do not go directly to jail. Instead, grab the phone.

Hasbro has set up a special holiday hotline in the U.K., with experts on the official rules of the game on the other end.

As for the most common reasons a game of Monopoly gets heated, they include players making up the rules as they go, sore winners who gloat and players buying a property you want, even when they don’t need it.
