Heather, Dice Goblin: It may have been a critique of capitalism, but mostly what it "teaches" is that *someone* is going to get rich, and it had better be you.

And the primary reason for that is because the money you get when you go past GO each time, does not increase. But rents do.

Remember: Monopoly has a Basic Income and everyone still ends up bankrupt and homeless.

Not to be persnickety, but the Landlord Game - the original game - was a critique of capitalism. You're right about the game that Parker Brothers published (I can't remember if they stole the basic concept from the original game creator or not and just renamed it) definitely teaches what you said.
