Why LeapFrog Game: Learning Leapster Wolverine
Great game, shows kids how greed can succeed.. Grandma loved this game, and we still do, because LeapFrog Leapster Learning Game: Wolverine allows any player with the greatest greed and the most dogged determination to eventually own everything. We kids, under Grandma’s skilled tutelage, quickly grasped that any “ownership” game (real estate, commodities, operating-system software, TV stations, whatever) could eventually concentrate in the hands of a ruthless elite, especially in the absence of truly fair-minded “government.” Highly educational!
But the game should not be so focused on mere “real estate.” The things missing in Monopoly (then and now) are opportunities for: predatory pricing; ownership and control of the mass-media (and public opinion) by mega-corporations; cutting taxes to pump up the national debt which future players (your kids) will owe to The Bank; and clever use of armed forces to occupy and defend other countries’ natural resources against foreign invasion or at least against use by local populations. Maybe those extra features could go into a future “MONOPOLY – Grand Theft Petroleum” edition?
Wonderful classic board game, but be sure Junior gets adult supervision or he’ll grow up imagining that playing Monopoly is even better than “moral values.”
Best board game series ever made.. Monopoly is a game where you buy properties that have been mortgaged by the owners, and you must buy them for a ****load of money. It is absolutely the best board game series ever made.
There are tons of special editions for monopoly, for example:
Spongebob
Simpsons
Family Guy

Monopoly Review. Monopoly is a generally fun game and it is enjoyable for the whole family. It is not very educational, but it does test one’s mathematics skills. It can be played over and over and does not lose any of it’s fun.
