"or blasting music too late at night. "

Yet that can be taken as hateful toward certain minorities so their attempt at PC is still faulty.

Community....communism.

I see crappy communities, to be honest. Again, all lip service, no reality.

In my parents’ youth there WAS communit. In a good way. My dad very small town, my mom big city. But they had true community.

The goal of the game is to come to an understanding of the mindset of your opponents. Luck plays a big part but you can still learn a lot.

There was a game called Anti-Monopoly. It was kinda topical and fun back in the 70’s. Same sort of game except you were all lawyers trying to “bust the trusts.”

BTW, does this mean Mr. Moneybags is out the door?

And I need to track down a copy of Monopoly in the original Klingon! :-D

Good one!

Such a modernized version might serve to keep the SJWs at home, instead of out rioting and burning down cities.

So a good possibility.

Monopoly’s cards have already been “updated”.”Christmas Fund Matures” became “Holiday Fund Matures” a long time ago. I still play with my 1975 edition.

The very funny Black comedian, George Wallace (his real name) said he invented a Black Monopoly game. Every space was “Go to jail”.

They better modernize that income tax square and compel everyone to land on it just after passing GO - just like in real life.

They should have a card “You got infected with COVID. Skip two weeks.”

They’ve added two pieces to the players’ tokens - a hypodermic syringe and little silver turd.
