I read your thoughts on the monopoly lecture we had. I too
had only heard the board game monopoly. Turns out it's a big business term that
is illegal. We play games as kids and never really think that this is something
real or based of something real. We just see it as a fun game to play. But yes
the game monopoly is a lot like the real thing. It made me think that even as
kids we all wanted to win and get the most money at the end, we didn't think
about buying business for loads of money or the fact that we were being just
like big companies in real life.
I also was interested in the horizontal and vertical
monopoly. We play to get all the color groups, that in a way is a horizontal
monopoly. Then some of us want one of every color group that is a vertical
monopoly. I played this game this weekend with my friend and she bought all the
reds and blues and yellows, then she bought one of every other color she hadn't
gotten too. I didn't create a monopoly; i just bought the one i saw he land on
the most....
But overall yes monopoly is a lot like the board game we
have all played once in our lives.
