Monopoly is such a poor training game. Capitalism is a multiplayer cooperative game. Other players losing is almost never an objective. Wealth is created rather than periodically injected due to the passage of time. Most importantly: the world remains improved between games.

It was deliberately designed to help people form the belief that landlords and capitalism are evil!

How's that working out?

It’s meant to be zero-summish so people better grasp the ills of unchecked capitalism. Exaggerated by design.

I guarantee you that isn’t the message kids are getting from it lol

It was a game designed to show the problems with capitalism as it is practiced in the real world. Rent-seeking is *at most* tolerable, under certain narrowly defined circumstances.

I have similar complaints to The Game of Life, which draws the cultural narrative that to live a successful life you need to die with as much money as possible, and that the best way to do that is to go to college, buy a gigantic house, and have as many children as you can.

We need a better Monopoly. And I'm not talking about the Star Wars version.

But the gentrifiers will displace non-Asian minorities and reduce the value of my $4M house!

Monopoly is a terrible game - just even on a gameplay level. Play Carcassonne or Settlers of Cataan instead.

The best part is everyone uses house rules that just make the bad parts worse. Like adding more random cash injection and not having auctions. Or having infinite houses.
