He who controls the spice, controls the Monopoly game…. Legendary has just introduced a new version of the classic game Monopoly, with a Dune theme.

Monopoly is a game I wish would just fade out of existence. I say this both as a game collector, and a Local Game Shop owner.
And was created to show the perils of unchecked capitalism, not encourage them. My own mother physically chucked the whole thing into the backyard during an argument between my brothers & I when we were young. Never again, Monopoly, you insidious PoS. 🤌🏼
It is actually a ripoff of a game called The Landlord Game.
But why?
Because it’s one of those games that would much better be replaced for its main use case. Imagine if something like catan filled the same cultural role of “game you play when family is over”
Monopoly is long, victory is ensured early and finished slowly
If played with no house rules, monopoly is a quick game. And I would much rather a Dune Catan game. Star Trek Catan is a fun variant.
If i find that be sure i’ll post it here.
