So....Monopoly.
Originally known as the Landlord's game.
More famously known as the Bussiness game, atleast here where I live cuz originally Monopoly is too darn expensive so we just buy a rip off.
Monopoly is a satire.
It's supposed to show what will happen if our government is too capitalistic, and allows individuals to own a monopoly.
How does it do this?
Well, take a look at the most efficient way of winning,
1. Buy all properties of same colour, causing the rent to skyrocket, referring to how big ceo can set the price as high as they want if there is less competition.
2. Don't invest in government projects.
Seriously, buying stuff like Waterways, Roadways etc have so low investment:reward ratio.
3. After buying all the properties, relax in jail to avoid getting bankrupt.
So, now that that's out of way,
I had an idea.
You see, there is a very special rule in Monopoly.
The bank is not allowed to run out of money. If it does, then the bank has right to print more money. Players may use any token as currency till it's designated to a single denomination.
Sooooooooo
How about....
Weeeee
Caaauuuussseeee
Inflation!
Let's ruin the economy for shits and giggles.
So, the question is,
1. What will be the effect on game if players don't buy anything for a long time, and keep collecting wages from the bank after each round to force it into printing money to the point where everyone is rich?
2. How would one simulate cryptocurrency in this game?
