Monopoly's lack of fun isn't because it uses dice.

Monopoly's lack of fun comes from the player elimination, which is a crucial part of the game. People dislike player elimination (because it feels mean), and include stuff to avoid it, (fines go in the middle and are collected if you land on free parking, for example). These house rules turn a 1 hour game into an interminable 5 hour slog.

If you have a group of people who are happy with the concept of player elimination, and who play to win, and you avoid the house rules, Monopoly becomes somewhat fun. But there are very many much better games.
