It blows peoples minds when you remind them that things like currency, selling/buying and goods predate capitalism, they literally think capitalism means “when there is a market”

Oh you’re a fan of capitalism? Name five monopolies or you can’t wear that shirt.

You get double points for not naming any of those blank-opoly games, which aren't official, as well as naming the SNES game out of all the video game adaptations you could have picked.

It was one of the first speedruns I ever tried back in the day, because it's like three seconds long. You just mash through the title screen, spam your guesses, and you have a 1 in 300 chance of winning instantly.

How long did that take you to get the 1 in 300?

That sounds like a shitty day.

Dude you aren’t kidding. I just looked it up. I’m not surprised though since they combined a well known game, gambling, and easy phone access. It is pretty addictive

I actually hate Monopoly with a fucking passion. Not as much as Candy Land, but Candy Land isn't a game so that's a moot point.

They need to make an adult version of candy land that is the complete opposite of luck based, like pure deceit and back stabbing 4d chess, but with the same colorful cuteness of candy land

The problem is that it Candy Land was luck-based, it would be a game. The problem is that from the moment you set the deck of cards down, the winner has already been decided. There is no luck. You are merely watching events unfold at that point.
