How to create a science-based monopoly?

How do you create a board game like monopoly?

• Answer:

  Monopoly came out during the Great Depression when people had little money for entertainment, and it allowed them to buy property, houses, and hotels, and to be real estate moguls; something that was impossible for them except in a board game. To create a board game like it today, maybe you should give some thought as to what is important to people today, like not losing their jobs and their homes, and try to give them a temporary escape from all that. Once you have the basic ideas, the rules and all the rest of it should fall into line easily.
