Monopoly is a world-famous board game designed to familiarize children and adults alike with the complex financial world through a fun and exciting game. The game usually has 40 squares, 4 railroads, 2 utilities, 22 spaces for rent and special squares such as Jail, Go to Jail, Luxury tax and Parking. The goal of the board game is for players to earn the maximum amount of money and become a monopolist by making other players go bankrupt.
Another challenge when playing Parker Brother’s Monopoly game is making good deals. You can only buy houses if you have a monopoly (you've own all the properties under a single colour). Oftentimes, different players only have part of a monopoly and you will need to make deals. With Monopoly, you can learn how to bargain and make profit.
Monopoly is definitely a board game that’s both interesting and educational. It helps explain the value of money and how good business decisions lead to financial prosperity. Players will also need to come up with good strategies when buying properties and making deals. In fact, the game is reminiscent of the economic strategy that became popular in the 20th century with the development of economical thinking. These skills will surely come in handy during everyday negotiations and business deals in the future.
Monopoly continues to evolve even today with hometown editions developed by USA Monopoly and brand new Monopoly U-Build and Monopoly: Revolution Edition. More than 275 million copies of Monopoly have been sold in 111 countries and 43 different languages.
