Let's Play a Game! A place to discuss all things board game, regardless of genre. Everything from Scrabble and Catan to Ark Nova, 1830 and beyond is fair game! That means we have blackjack. Bring your own hookers, sorry.

Rules:

Play nicely with others here.
Discussion should be at least somewhat related to board games and all that entails.
Self-promotion is allowed within reason. Don't go overboard!

Though this is satire, we've all had that experience where we played a game (many times, even!) and only found out later that we got the rules massively wrong. Share your experience!

People seem to forget the point of monopoly is as a social commentary to make you hate capitalism, rather than an RPG in which you learn all the things that make capitalism great.

The game is unbalanced and broken on purpose, if it is fair and everyone has an equal shot you aren't playing monopoly
