Comment on bad board games
ptu@sopuli.xyz 4 days agoI wonder how a progressive tax on all income would change the game. Maybe divided between the participants or used however the participants voted. Winning mechanism would probably need to be changed to something other than whoever piles up the most cash and property.

I suspect the game would just never end and properties would change hands again and again.
Progressive taxation is a negative feedback that creates a tendency toward an equilibrium.
Winner-take-all rules (as currently played) are positive feedbacks that lead to runaway effects, like me flipping over the board and setting up the slip and slide as a more pro-social activity.
