      The game is (still) a satirical version of the real housing market, and anybody with half a brain gets the impression of unfairness after a game of monopoly. This is unrelated to the fact that parker brothers is making a lot of money with the game

        anybody with half a brain gets the impression of unfairness after a game of monopoly.

        The trouble is, their incorrect takeaway is that Monopoly is a bad game, instead of the correct takeaway that Monopoly is an excellent demonstration of a bad system. Parker Brothers’ removal of the “prosperity” ruleset ruined any educational value it had.
