“Monopoly” as “one of [the] world’s greatest games.” That’s enough right there to tell you that civilization jumped the shark decades ago.
Civilization's been nice, but I think it's high time we admit we're long past its peak.

It always makes me cringe when I see how commercialised Monopoly is. Like, do they honestly not see the irony?
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 year ago
It’s worse than you think.

would you believe that the original rules and board were a waring against capitalism. Until capitalism got a hold of it.

The irony, right?

At least that kind of makes some sense. It looks insanely difficult, but you can at least see how someone who isn’t certifiably insane would mash those two games up.

That looks kinda cool, although it does irk me that the pieces seem to not all be tetracubes.

I’ll never stop blaming that goddamn lungfish that crawled out of the ocean a billion years ago. Fucker.

This adds an entirely new strategy to the game, because you can try to construct words that add up to the number of spaces you want to go, almost completely eliminating the random chance aspect of monopoly that’s so frustrating.

The words you can choose from are limited by the letters available. Presumably you might be forced into landing on someone else’s property.

There are a lot of words, man. Like way more than you or I even know. Except maybe with the strangest of hands, you probably have at minimum five different scoring words available to you, but likely a lot more

Everything Monopoly touches is tainted.
