I make people hate me when I play monopoly. I hate the game as much as I hate the system it was originally meant to mock. So every so often, people I know will keep trying to get me to play.
Monopoly Pro Tip: buy everything you can afford, put as many of the little houses you can on it, but don’t upgrade to the big pieces. When there are no more small pieces, you can simply bleed everyone dry.
I’ve had people literally flip boards in anger.
And every time I hear someone say “that’s not fair”, I respond “I know it’s not, But ‘what’s fair’ doesn’t matter in capitalism.”
Yes, I get a little preachy with it.
But hey, I’ve almost never been asked to play again by the same person.
You could get even more preachy, by printing out the original rules, and creating the “Public Housing” Space that is supposed to be around the corner of “Free Parking,” similar to the “Just Visiting,” portion of the “Jail” space.
Once all players except one have ended up in public housing, the “Prosperity,” portion of the game begins, and it is likely to radicalize the most hard line capitalists out there.
I love how I tried to find a PDF of the rules for the “Landlord’s Game” and one site it was on has everything beyond page 1 behind a paywall. I’m up to my ass in irony here.

Indeed. Well we know you definitely aren’t Alanis Morriset. You know what the word means.
