Fun fact: Monopoly was originally called "The Landlord's Game" when it was created and was meant to teach people about the fundamental absurdity and contradictions inherent in the capitalist system of land ownership. It was later co-opted by a family member of the creator who sold it to Parker Brothers. They renamed it Monopoly and turned it into the commercial success it is today.
To be fair, it still teaches that, but everyone wants to be the villain.
Now I want to try a variant of monopoly where the younger you are, the more turns you have to wait to start the game.
We also have a game called Anti-Monopoly
