I actually enjoy monopoly. Its not anywhere close to my absolute favorite board game of those Ive played, mostly because I feel like it relies too much on rng and that this makes the strategy less useful, but its at least in like, the top 10 or so
Evolution, settlers of Catan, Machi Koro (okay, that ones more a card game, but it plays like it has a board almost) are top ones. Next two probably vary a bit on the situation, if I’m having to play with children, due to visiting family that has them, King of Tokyo is good. If they’re aren’t any children and there’s a lot of time, I enjoy risk sometimes too.
I’m not a huge board game player though, so I’ve played, maybe 2 or 3 dozen different ones over time?
I do too, even though I’m 1000% aware of the original message behind it. It’s like a toxic relationship.
They should “update” the game rules to mimic the real life experience. 1 or 2 players begins the game either with 25% of the amount of money that the game brings (or with 1 set of average cost properties with either houses or hotels) and the rest of the players begin the game following the original rules.
They should call it Bezopoly or something like that.
