Is Monopoly outdated?

    My question is this. Do you think monopoly is outdated and has failed to evolve? As a child i loved it but as an adult it seems like it is a bit limiting. Don't you think it would be better if they added more elements to the game? Eg stock market, gambling etc? What does everyone think?

    I really loved playing that about 2-3 years ago. In fact, I used to play
    that almost everyday with my siblings. But we got bored with it day
    by day. I think your idea is useful enough for that game to regain their
    popularity in board games. :)

    Since there is no real choice in Monopoly - you basically always buy property - it is a bit too luck feeling. There is a great space version called Solar Quest from years ago, which is just like Monopoly, but you choose to remain in orbit or leave orbit, giving more of an option and making it more fun.

    I would *love* to see this game updated with an internet marketing spin. Instead of buying property for instance, players could buy internet businesses (websites, opt-in lists, etc.). Would be great if the game taught the basic principals of online entrepreneurship as well!
