Weekly Written Analysis










 Invented in 1934 Monopoly, the real estate game played around the world has sold 200 million games worldwide. The game is sure to be found in almost every household. 
 
       However, over the years, the game has become more than just a game it has become a vehicle for advertising, every version of the game that one could think of has been made; every college has a school version, companies like the beauty company Sephora, and Barbie have branded editions. But, yet the game continues to sell when new versions are released that play upon a niche market.
   
      I love that the company is also reinventing the game, introducing an electronic version sped up the game immensely. I am susceptible to purchasing a new version of the game because of advertising that entices me with whatever new addition has been added to the game. This is why I currently have four Monopoly games.
 Monopoly is one of my favorite games, because I always win, I am ruthless I beat my family at this often and cut my family no slack.  I find a rousing game of Monopoly to be a great family activity.
