    How do you talk the winner of a Monopoly game into not playing the game anymore and letting us move onto a cooperative game?

    Like my god man, Monopoly isn’t even that good of a game; we all know by now it was created to lampoon capitalism. The game sucks. Stop touting your winnings. You are ruining game night with this!

    And now you’re having your kids brag about your winnings and holding game night hostage?

    Bruh.

      They see money as a method of prestige. So maybe they need to be shifted by prestige.

      If for example you got points for each time you helped the community, and can buy more with that, that’d be one. Having a lot of resources is hoarding and you then cannot buy anything with it. Asking for a lot of resources is also hoarding, unless if these resources do not go to your portfolio or that of friends, but instead directly towards benefiting the community as a whole.

      And no one can own resources that give them more power to exert violence, than another, and giving away/destroying those resources instead will give you goodwill to gain other resources, once you’ve also given other resources.

      If Musk can spy on everyone, why shouldn’t we be able to spy on him?
