Sounds like a good game. My husband hasn't played monopoly since his mother and I owned him roughly 8 years ago. Same reason he won't play checkers with me...
We did a similar experiment in my economics class a few years ago. The teacher rigged it so that the "upper class" had more money and privileges, and the middle and working classes had progressively less. It came up with similar results.
One time for a final project for a book we read in class, my group did something like this. The book was about how everyone was really racist still in the 30's in America, especially in the south, and how hard it was for black people to own their own land, and those who couldn't and had to become sharecroppers drew the really short straw. We divided up the properties beforehand, giving most of them to the team that was the main white family in the book, a handful with lower rent payouts to the main black family, who owned their own land, and a few to the families who were sharecroppers, and most of their rent went to the white family that technically owned the land. White families also got more starting money, and a higher salary when passing "Go", with sharecroppers getting barely anything. When we had run out of time, if I remember correctly, the sharecroppers were in debt (we played with IOUs), the black family was poor, and the white family was still going strong.
Yep! Did you like it? I personally didn't enjoy it too much, but that's probably because I just naturally hate every book I have to read for class. I feel like I would have liked it a whole lot more had I read it on my own. What about you? (if you even see this)
Ha! Some people definitely take their pride with them and it too doubles as they pass go! Monopoly is most fun with ppl that are laid back Overly competitive ppl just make it not fun anymore
That makes sense. Monopoly is a game. It's not real life. The point is to beat the other people. Of course you're going to take advantage of your...well, advantages.
The way you win the game od Monopoly is by bankrupting the other players. Or, if you run out of time, to have more money and property than the others. The purpose of playing Monopoly is to win the game, right?

Are we going to bitch at the chess club because all they try to do is kill the other player's king? Ooooohhh...sometimes it's two white knights, a white queen and a white king all ganging up on a black king, so there's some racist hatred built in. Are we supposed to imagine that a Halo player shouldn't use any advantage he has against the other players?
