A couple from the United States moved into a 1950s-era house, and when they discovered, in 2021, that their living room was actually a massive Monopoly board, they became famous on Reddit. After the trend subsided, the board was covered in carpet, indicating that it wasn’t a very compelling selling feature. Even so, the couple was taken aback when they tore up the carpeting.
