How to Win at Monopoly - A Surefire Strategy
Monopoly is one of my all time favourites and, in my opinion, is one of the few board games that get better when played on a computer. Tim Darling has a "surefire" strategy to help you come out on top everytime.
Monopolizing History
The world's most popular board game developed differently than most other modern games or sports. Modern games tend to be invented by one single inventor, whereas traditional games have evolved over much longer periods.
Monopoly developed as a combination of evolution and invention, and represents wildly different economic and social points of view. Now, it's seen as a popular American icon, and has been played by over 750 million people, and spun off into countless versions.
Today's link is a review by David Parlett of a new book by Philip E Orbanes, called Monopoly: The World's Most Popular Game - And How It Got That Way. Good reading!
