I'd love to know where the free parking thing cane from. I distinctly remember not doing that as a kid but then suddenly I don't know why in my teens(I think) it appeared in a way like it was not doing it was incorrect.

Never heard of the pass go thing though.

The Pass Go thing came from a friend of the family that came over for Christmas dinner one year. It went from $100 to $300 once all the properties were bought, and the reason was "so everyone can afford to land on hotel spaces." So, yeah, completely defeating the point of late stage of the game.

Sounds more like Monopoly: Social Democracy edition to me. Though either way, you'd need to add a tax for the rich to explain the $300.
