Monopoly, the board game that is all the rage among all generations
Don't you know what Monopoly is? If you really don't know the answer, where have you been these past decades? Monopoly is a very popular board game that has been accompanying us for years in countless family gatherings, friends and after-dinner afternoons. Who doesn't remember playing this fun game one afternoon with their siblings, parents or cousins?
The object of the game is to be as rich as possible, accumulating as many streets or properties. For this, the mechanics of the game is to go buying and expanding the properties, carrying out the construction of buildings and hotels. Making these profitable, with the rents that the rest of the players pay you, as they fall in the box of your property.
Why is Monopoly so much fun?
What makes Monopoly so much fun is the combination of strategy and luck. Players must make important decisions about which are the best properties to buy or how much money to invest in buildings and hotels. In addition, we must take into account when is the right time to sell the properties and reinvest the money in others.
Taking all these elements into account, we lack luck, since the destiny of each player is largely in the hands of chance, through the throwing of two dice
Leaving all of the above aside, another very important factor that makes this board game so entertaining is social interaction. Players must make deals with each other, such as exchanging the properties or the possibility of making alliances so that other players do not understand certain properties of one of the colors that we need.
Of course, the biggest incentive is to have a great time, very entertaining spending time with family and friends, while there is a healthy competition.
So if someone asks you, what does the game of Monopoly teach you? You can tell them that it is a board game that will help both the older members of the house and the younger ones to negotiate with other players and make alliances to win the game.
