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 .
Hot take: Monopoly is not fun to play. There are so many good games out nowadays if you're still playing Monopoly that's kind of on you.
I'd recommend Spirit Island, a game where you all work as different elemental gods who help am indigenous population fight off the (literally) white colonists on an island.. It's collaborative, it's different every time you play, and you can choose which empire to fight against (England, Prussia, etc) and they all play differently.
That is a very cool game.
