In my experience, it's already hard to get a good read of a candidate within 45-60mn without adding external entities.
Monopoly is not just an external entity, it's a pretty big one with tight cultural ties. If the candidates you interview were not born in the same country as you, the best case scenario is that they played Monopoly in a different language and the worst case scenario is they never played it.
I prefer to focus my interviewing on questions that rotate around pure coding (if that's what the candidate is interviewing for) and even then, I hardly find the time to dig as deep as I'd like.
