Some of the economic lessons we’ve learned from playing Monopoly:
Winners are determined by random chance early in the game. If you land on Boardwalk the first time you are living large. Otherwise it is low rent forever.
You can’t do anything to encourage patrons to visit. They either roll your number or they pass you by.
If you can just make it to the end of the board, someone will hand you enough money to keep you afloat.
Some people can buy their way out of trouble and others are stuck in jail no matter what they do.
I could swear I’ve heard this before from [insert name of politician].

Eh. Monopoly always took too long. And my brother had the habit of “whoopsieing” the board (knocking it over) if he was losing.
Come to think of it, that’s not that much different from what’s happening now.
