Can’t afford anything?
Lose your turn. Go straight to Jail.
You used poverty! It’s super effective!
Realistically tho…
Randomly choose a player to be born rich, they start with $5000 and all the railways. Everyone else starts with $20. Only the rich person gets $200 for passing go.
Then play.
It’ll be pretty boring and you know how it will end.
To be fair, that’s the intended lesson of regular monopoly as well.
The intended lesson of the “Capitalist” version of the original “Landlord’s Game” game.
But the game was repeatedly stolen, manipulated, and repurposed as a marketing gimmick over the subsequent 120 years since its invention. The current iteration of the game is intended to teach kids that the market rewards the savviest and most cut-throat deal makers. There is no “Socialist” co-operative version of the game, either. In the modern era, it is easier to imagine an end to the world than an end to capitalism.
Have the other players start with $100 in student debt, pay $10 back every time you pass start.
Ooo I like that one.
Whenever I play monopoly I try go as far off piste as possible. Form a union, write IOUs, set up an alternative currency, offer structured finance deals, run a private stock market, derivatives on future rent payments. Or just outright gambling. No one ever takes me up on these offers, they all think I’m trying to pull a fast one on them. They’re not wrong.
Ohhh I might try and form a workers cooperative next time I am forced to play monopoly
Start offering payday loans so they can get their $200 early
Not even close. Make them start with 60k in debt, they need to pay 6k back every turn, and there is 5% interest on the debt. The debt is paid first and cannot be removed with bankruptcy Also, after 10 turns, if they own no properties, but have made the minimum payment each time, there is a 3% chance that the debt is forgiven. At the end of 20 turns, if they have made all the minimum payments, and they own no properties, flip 9 coins. If all of them are heads, then the debt is forgiven.
It’ll be pretty boring and you know how it will end.
Unless the other players learn to unionize.
Incorrect.
The only winning move is to guillotine the top, what, 10% of the world’s money hoarders. And then start again with everyone knowing that if they hoard wealth in such a manner they’ll head to the chopping block.Hell it’ll probably work, but it may not, however I think it’s worth a shot. Start with musky boy and tRUMP.
The point he’s trying to make is the actual point of Monopoly.
More like despite being satire, monopoly is still more generous than actual capitalism
Where is Go, I’d like to pass it.
To win you have to kill as many industries as possible
FIVE WAYS MILLENNIALS ARE KILLING MONOPOLY… Number 3 will shock you!
Every property is already purchased with a full hotel stack across the board
Too complex. Better and simpler ruleset is that everyone else gets a 50 turn headstart.

Mortal Kombat made you violent
If that’s the goal, does that mean we’re winning?
But at least we get trophies?
All the properties are your parents basement.
It exists. It’s pretty much this, but with worse writing and gameplay.
I think he meant to say Gen Z monopoly?
Over half of us have a home:
The story is similar for millennials: 54.9% of millennials owned their home last year, essentially
https://www.redfin.com/news/homeownership-rate-by-generation-2024/
Same in Australia
Over half (55 per cent) of Millennials, 25–39 year olds, are homeowners compared with 62 per cent of Generation X and two thirds (66 per cent) of Baby Boomers when they were the same age.
edit: just realised this tweet is from 2018
the significant part is millennials are now in their 40s roughly. That’s much later than the last few generations.
i don’t deny its worse for gen z, we can still complain it got worse while its getting worse still.
The fact that of people in their 30s and 40s only half own their home is pretty bad, so… yeah.
