    It’s honestly a really bad game to play. You either give in a little bit by trading at loss or you make everyone want to stop playing because there’s just no way to win and there’s absolutely no reason to play any further.

    Great for making kids fight, though.

      i mean yeah, that’s the point. The whole game was designed as a micro-cosm of capitalism. We’re in the endgame of monopoly right now, the richest players are buying out the entire board and it’s not fun for anyone else anymore. Only in the real world we can’t walk away from the table when the obvious winner insists they need to finish the game
