It fun once or twice but still Monopoly, Hasbro couldn’t commit to the bit so ithe rules are barely altered. If you’re expecting a player is the Asset Manager, who slowly buys all the property and jacks up rent of the whole board, you’re going to be disappointed.
Or just run around the board, tracking your laps. Every lap, shit gets more expensive. The first player to go around the board 5 times without going bankrupt or drawing a “you died” chance card wins.
Other chance cards could include “you survived the round of layoffs, but productivity goals remain the same. Lose $50 buying coffee to keep up.” Or “Take a mental health day. Gain $20 since you didn’t spend it commuting.” Or “Sunday brunch with friends. Lose $30 on avocado toast and mimosas.”
Community chest cards can all be like $5 of help and specifically point out that social safety nets have been all but dismantled. Some can be dropping like $100 on you, but at the cost of your next turn because you spent all day on the phone and/or doing tedious paperwork to maximize assistance.
Somebody take these ideas and just make a new board game called Peasants or Surviving Capitalism or Proletarians or something. If you make a ton of money off of it, just throw me 1%. If you only make a little money, just throw me a free copy.
