Does anyone actually like Monopoly? It is the worst board game in existence.
To me, it's not even a game, because players don't make any decisions. You roll a die and go a number of steps, no player agency so far. After that you technically have a decision to buy or not to buy the property. But it is not really a decision, you need to buy it, if you can afford it.
I believe the main reason people say that they don't like board games is because the only board game they played is Monopoly.
It was literally designed to be a metaphor for capitalism. You’re not supposed to enjoy playing unless you are lucky enough to be the one winning.
I had almost exactly the same exact comment written out before I saw yours. Its original title was “The Landlord’s Game”.
That was a different game, the original by Liz Magie. Darrow pretended he never heard of it, plagiarised it, but made it worse, then claimed it was his own idea. It all got settled later on.
