Money is fun, if you've got enough. You can flaunt it. You can taunt
people with it. You can hold fists full of it and laugh until your
stomach hurts. If you're in a rap video, you can throw it, one
banknote at a time.
MattDP's excellent article about Monopoly reminded me about all of
these things, and I'm a little surprised that, in the BGN comments
section below the article, nobody mentioned them. Instead, there's a
bunch of analysis. Is Monopoly a worthy game? How hard is it to
determine the real value of a property? Is it true that it really only
shines in a tournament situation, where competitors are gaming the
tournament format more than they're gaming Monopoly itself? And why do
the sheeples always play by the terrible "Free Parking" house rules?
Can't they play by the rules as written?
Watch a kid play Monopoly, and you'll come closer to real understanding
of the game's enduring popularity. They'll clutch the money. They'll
run away into another room with it. They'll lay it out into neat stacks, sorted by denomination. They'll count it obsessively.
Money is fun.
