It's an annoying and stupid game. It's all about being a landlord. One or two players are lucky and they are the only ones having a good time. The rest of the players are spending their time losing.
"Well ackshually, Monopoly was originally called 'The Landlord Game' and was all about how landlording was bad" — I don't care, you're still spending an evening pretending to be a landlord to your loved ones. The game is completely unenjoyable because it emulates capitalism too well.
Fuck off with competitive boardgames. Give me games that are merely facilitating having fun and being social and where only nerds keep score, like charades or pictionary .
it also needs to be noted that Elizabeth Maggie’s original concept for the landlord game was never in the commercially sold monopoly.
Charles Darrow Stole the idea and chopped out the part of the game where everyone looses their money. Which is what makes it go on forever and be a shit time for all.
Also look up Illuminopoly. It’s an actually fun way to play it.
