monopo-ology?

when you look at a board game like monopoly you see not only a game but a mission to win and become the richest. but when the odds are changed, for some this game becomes one sided.

we adjusted the rules of monopoly to say that whoever was the horse was the richest and started out with the most money and boardwalk and park place. and they amount of money goes down to represent the different social class.

when playing it was easy to see that it is extremely difficult to move up in social class. and if you where rich you could buy anything and get out of jail when you wanted to .

these demographics are quite shocking and i think a really good way to sum it up is by the video created called Miniature Earth
