Risk doesn't take long at all if you know what you are doing. My normal game of Risk takes maybe 4-5 turns.

Monopoly shouldn't take terribly too long if you are playing with people who don't know how to manage money and make deals. The better the players, the longer it takes.

Are you one of these people?

Anyone ever play Diplomacy, or Scotland Yard? I love those games. And Talisman.

As for playing Monopoly with a real money pot to the winner - I have a friend who has quick hands and sees Monopoly as a chance to sharpen his skills by cheating everyone blind! No real money games against him... and never let him be the bank... never leave the room... don't have anything distracting on in the background like the TV... etc.

monopoly can go fast if you don't have 500 on free parking

Yep, I think that's the problem. If you play 'house rules' the game can get to where it never ends. I prefer the box rules. , playing with the $500, sometimes my friends and I would have to get money out of the Life game.

Someone mentioned Risk, 4-5 turns?

Only if you play with idiots.
