Commanding the Monopoly Board

A psychological study has identified a new personality type: the "Monopoly Tyrant." This person doesn't just play the game; they reenact the rise of a robber baron with terrifying authenticity. They charge exorbitant rent on Baltic Avenue, make back-alley deals for Get Out of Jail Free cards, and cackle maniacally while building hotels on Park Place. The study found that 80% of Monopoly Tyrants are otherwise mild-mannered accountants or middle managers. The game unleashes a latent desire for absolute, unregulated power. Family game night often ends in tears and a flipped board. Therapists now use Monopoly as a diagnostic tool for identifying control issues. The only known cure is playing a cooperative game like Pandemic, which the Tyrant usually tries to dominate anyway. -- Bohiney Magazne bohiney.com
