It would be interesting if someone could take the same game, with the same properties, board pieces, etc. but turn it into a “union vs. management” game. One player started as management and already owned properties and hotels, the others were in a union and pooled their resources. You could have elements like the “union goes on strike” and the “management” player couldn’t build any new hotels, but it meant that when the union players passed go they couldn’t collect $200. And, for extra twists, allow a player to leave the union if they think that it’s holding them back, and see what that does to the rest of the union and to management.
I like the idea that Monopoly can teach the strength of unions to kids. To beat a mighty opponent we need to pool our resources.

I’t helps when the spouse cackles like a witch while holding all railroads.
That can make anyone want to unionize.
