Between the condescending tagline and blatant “how do you do fellow kids” theme, this makes the perfect gag gift for that one friend who takes himself too seriously. The only way to make it even better is if the game really did have participation awards for all the losers.		The only thing funnier than the game is the meltdown it caused on the internet.

While it may suck a bag of dog shit, it is (after [[Chess]] and [[Go]]) the most popular tabletop game ever made. Go figure.

	'''Monopoly''' was originally an adaptation of an obscure game known as "The Landlord's Game," which was intended by its designer, Elizabeth Magie, to be an educational tool to illustrate the negative aspects of concentrating land in private monopolies, and explain the benefits of the single tax theory of Henry George. However, since "The Landlord's Game" was made by a woman who was also a Quaker, nobody gave a shit, which was why Charles Darrow was able to modify the original game and sell it off as [[Original character, do not steal\|his own original creation]]. Also, he chopped out half of the game, namely, the [[#The Lost Rules\|second half]] where everyone loses all their money and an Important Lesson is learned about capitalism. Which is why it sucks. Imagine if ''40k'' didn't have a turn limit, and you just played until the opponent was tabled, and both of you got two free units every turn. (Isn't that just [[Apocalypse]] though?)
