First of all, life, business, and design aren't fair. They never were and never will be. The sooner we understand and accept that as part of the design problem the better off we'll all be. Second, I never said there aren't many board games out there that are better than Monopoly. I'd love for you to show where I said or even implied that. Monopoly obviously isn't designed for or targeted to the game geeks. It's targeted at the millions and millions of people who purchase it, play it, give it away to friends, etc. It's incredibly successful at that. And all of that is part of Design. Cheers!
