Monopoly: 1) a board game created by Parker Brothers in which players move around the board and buy properties with the goal of taking all the money from the other players. 2) a market in which there are many buyers but only one seller; 3) when luck overcome skill.
The game started with the usual complaining from the defending hat wearer Alex "ooowwwwwwwww" Usategui as Greg rolled a strong 11 making him the first to roll and Alex the last. Roll after roll happened. Greg eating up massive properties. Jason being audited, paying his income tax and generously giving each player. Adam picked up a few properties and Mike made the poor choice of only staying on the property other trailblazers have already occupied. Eventually a trade was due to be made...and it was. Alex took the purple. Greg the red. Adam the light Blue. Jason the Orange. Mike only had broken hopes and dreams. The masterstroke by Jason was not trading until all players were in prime position to land on his orange. Player after player landed on community chest in between Jason's properties. Jason knew this was the end and he HAD to do something, but it was too late. Greg knocked out Jason and took the slums unmortgaged. The computer was open and the search for the website was on. Greg eventually knocked off the others one by one until Alex couldn't come to grips with reality and gave his money to the bank.
There is Monopoly and then there is monopoly. Which was was this? I'll let you be the judge.
