It’s just after Christmas: and many of you will be sitting around with your family playing board games. Contrary to popular belief, these games are not about family spirit, instead they are about bringing out your competitive side and asserting your supremacy over the family, so let’s have a look at the statistics of Monopoly, and how to play these to your advantage!
So we all know the classic family board game, Monopoly, where players roll dice to move round the board, and purchase and improve their properties. If you land on an opponent’s property, you have to pay them rent. This rent is higher if they build houses or hotels on these properties, but you can only build on a property if you own all the properties of that colour group. If you land on a property that you cannot pay the rent for, you are bankrupt and out of the game. The winner is the last remaining player after everyone has been bankrupted.
