"who wants to play Realistic Monopoly? it's exactly like the normal game except the values of all the properties are multiplied by a thousand"
"that sounds terrible"
"exactly"
oh and also replace all the utility and railroad squares with "go to jail"
"also the win conditions are changed. all players win when anyone owns a single property"
"but wouldn't that just make it so everyone pools their money and the game ends really quickly?"
"i guess. speaking of, here's my portion of the rent for this month"
@typhlosion I’d like a monopoly game where th aim is to make a working non capitalist system tbh?
but in more or less detail, for example, creating a democratic system of govement, or working out healthcare systems.
@Doggo you may be interested to know Monopoly is derived from an older, somewhat more complicated educational game called the Landlord's Game, which was primarily *anti*-monopolist
@typhlosion oooh! I did know it was derived from an earlier game that was anti monopoly, but not the name! I’ll hsve to look that up. Thanks!,

@00dani well, yes, but Realistic Monopoly is even worse
@typhlosion @00dani who wants to play naomi monopoly. its like regular monopoly but without the game pieces or rules and instead you just cuddle a bunch
@b3yond i always figured the assumption there was that the players' characters already had jobs and were using them to fund the landlording venture
@b3yond could also just be a board-game abstraction for pacing purposes that i'm ascribing too much meaning to!! but yeah maybe
in *really* realistic monopoly the property values are multiplied by 10k, and also you need a loan to buy a car to be able to move squares at all, so you start out in debt. your salary for passing the GO square remains $200
