Fun fact: Monopoly was originally called "The Landlord's Game" when it was created and was meant to teach people about the fundamental absurdity and contradictions inherent in the capitalist system of land ownership. It was later co-opted by a family member of the creator who sold it to Parker Brothers. They renamed it Monopoly and turned it into the commercial success it is today.

To be fair, it still teaches that, but everyone wants to be the villain.
Now I want to try a variant of monopoly where the younger you are, the more turns you have to wait to start the game.

They had to redo the rules a whole bunch to make it so that people's don't get bankrupted so fast.
That's why monopoly games take forever nowadays. Just like with real life, capitalists just said "just imagine the bank can print endless money and act as if that were true".
Because that's never lead to anything bad right

We also have a game called Anti-Monopoly

No rewards for passing Go until you’re late in the game.

Yes, Gen X is great at streetside parking without help of a backup camera and Tardis-level suitcase packing.

We don't stop at the suitcase either. I have legitimately moved an entire 3 BR apartment worth of stuff and furniture in my 1986 SAAB 900 SPG. Took three trips total. I probably could have done it in one trip if I had rented a trailer, but I was being cheap.
