Product Description
In the Monopoly Socialism game players move around the board working together to make a better community by managing and contributing to projects such as a no-tip vegan restaurant, an all-winners school, or a museum of co-creation. But nobody said that cooperation is easy! Drawing a Chance card presents the flip side of striving for the perfect utopian society. You'll have issues with your neighbors, your DIY community projects go awry, you're constantly voting to shake things up, and there’s always an emergency that requires dipping into the Community Fund! Contribute all 10 of your chips to win the game, unless the Community Fund runs out of money and everyone loses. So much for a socialist utopia.

First and foremost, the game is filled with humorous elements and clever references that poke fun at socialist concepts. From the quirky character cards to the witty property names, the game captures the essence of parody while maintaining the basic mechanics of MONOPOLY. It provides a refreshing and playful take on the traditional game, creating a memorable and engaging experience.
The artwork and design of the game board and components are visually appealing and well-crafted. The attention to detail in capturing the satirical theme adds to the overall enjoyment. The playful illustrations and humorous captions contribute to the light-hearted atmosphere of the game, making it a visually engaging experience.
One aspect that sets the MONOPOLY Socialism Board Game Parody apart is the focus on cooperation and collaboration rather than cutthroat competition. This twist encourages players to work together towards shared goals, which adds a refreshing change of pace to the gameplay dynamics. It sparks conversations and discussions about the concepts of socialism in a light-hearted and accessible manner.
While this parody version may not be for everyone, it offers a fun and entertaining way to explore and discuss socio-economic ideas in a casual setting. It's important to approach the game with an open mind, embracing the humor and satire it presents. Whether you're a fan of the traditional MONOPOLY game or simply looking for a unique and engaging board game experience, the MONOPOLY Socialism Board Game Parody is worth a try.
In conclusion, the MONOPOLY Socialism Board Game Parody provides an enjoyable and amusing twist on the classic MONOPOLY game. With its clever humor, playful design, and unique gameplay mechanics, it offers a lighthearted opportunity to explore and discuss socialist concepts in a fun and engaging manner. If you're looking for a game that blends satire and entertainment, the MONOPOLY Socialism Board Game Parody is definitely worth considering.
Here's the premise: you live in a small community, which is a socialist utopia. There isn't any competition, but developing and improving the community is always good, so we'll do that. Unfortunately, developing the community costs money. But since it's all for the community, just in case you don't have the money to pay for it, the community will make up what you can't! And the "community fund" starts at $1848 (the year that the Communist Manifesto was published).
Now, if you're a good citizen, who cares for the community, when you make money you can give it back to the community. On the other hand, if you're a greedy capitalist, you can keep it for yourself to use. You can also have bidding wars to "manage" (not own) different "projects" (not properties), which will make you money when they are developed and people land on them.
Did we have bidding wars that got the price of some projects higher than the actual price of the project? Absolutely. Were we all bidding with the same pool of money in the community fund? Yes, yes we were. After all, if the community permits me to use an extra $50, I am certain that I can manage that project better than you for my own pro--err, the community's profit.
The downside of course, is accuracy. Money literally appears out of nowhere (the bank). I have to wonder, why is it that someone using the fully developed project makes money for the community, instead of costing money to the community (to run the facility)? After all, it costs $50 to use the community shuttle, I'm assuming for the fuel prices (our socialist utopia didn't invest in cybersecurity for its pipeline). Also, the living wage you collect passing go, why does it just appear? Shouldn't it hypothetically come out of the community fund, and not the bank?
The reasons for these inaccuracies are that without them, the game would end, very quickly. There are two conditions which end the game: either all 10 of your development tokens are on projects, or the community fund runs out. In the former, congratulations, you win (you evil capitalist)! In the latter, the structure of society collapses and everyone loses! Did one player run the community shuttle around the board 4 times just to deplete the community fund so we'd all lose? Absolutely - after all, what good is a socialist utopia if you can't drive through it on the free transportation?
The dynamic at the table was also very interesting. You could easily play off of "you should be a good citizen, and contribute back to the community, by putting all your profits in the community fund, and if you don't we're all going to shun you and make it hard for you to win, because winning shows that you think you're better than the community." Are we all secretly trying to win? Sure. Do we all know, that we're all secretly trying to win? Sure. But never, never make those intentions plain to the table, if you can cloak it in the veil of benefitting the community. After all, sure, maybe playing my development token gets me one step closer to winning, but really, that's not my concern - helping the community by developing a project that brings money into the community fund is what it's really about, and I'll even donate my profits to the community fund too!
We also thought of some rule variants. There's an event card where "your offshore account was discovered" and you go to jail. Variant: the community decides an additional penalty - one of which is seizing the means of finance from this account, and adding $300 to the community fund - or maybe redistributing your projects to other players. If there's less than 4 players, the unused development tokens become "community tokens" which must all be placed before you can place your last token (and win!). Another variant: "no player left behind," where you can only play your second token once everyone has played their first (and so on throughout all 10 tokens). Finally: if the "we're all winners school" is fully developed, and there is $3000 in the community fund, everyone wins!
Overall, excellent game. Much more entertaining, and quicker, than normal Monopoly. Can you actually work together, or will enough funds be used in pursuit of selfish gain to the detriment of the community? It's easy to give up selfishness in the game, but less so in real life (one player said "I can help the community instead of myself, because it's fake money"). For a parody, it deserves replay and variation, because it is so much more than just a parody or a themed monopoly. 10/10
The irony alone convinced me to purchase this board game.
But I digress, this Socialism variation provides a different goal and challenge along with it. Having a group fail condition subverts the expectation that one can easily become the victor in this game. There are methods presented to win, but everyone is tied to the Community Fund.
This mechanic acts as a balance amongst the players. Even should you want to win, you inadvertently begin thinking of your neighbors who could end the game prematurely. Investing in projects and thinking together how to get the most out of the Bank is rewarding, literally!
Still, the crux of this game are the ruthless Chance cards. These can take from your Community Fund or prevent further progress in project development. Conversely, they can also assist in community growth. Of all the components to this game, I would say the Chance cards are the weakest since they're so heavily used through the course of the game. A special die in this Socialism variation can cause you to pick up one or two Chance cards. Talk about overkill!
My last remark would be that this game, much like the original Monopoly, is better with either three or four people. Playing with only two gets a tad stale as it's much easier to cooperate. Conversely, the game feels more punishing since not as many projects can be picked up as quickly.
And I guess make sure anyone playing can take a joke about hot yoga.

Eso sí, recomiendo buscar las reglas en videos de youtube o páginas de internet ya que hay cosas que el manual no explica, quedando al aire la interpretación de cada quien. Algunas quejas que tengo con el juego es el número máximo de jugadores; siento que 4 jugadores son pocos para lo que ofrece este juego, disminuyendo la intensidad de competitividad. Otro detalle es que, si bien es muy fácil perder en el juego, ganar es un asunto muy complicado ya que depende de los otros jugadores el como se desarrolle el juego, y el problema radica en que es muy fácil obstaculizar a quien va ganando, llegando a ser muy tedioso y aburrido el juego.
Para no extenderme demasiado, esta es mi recomendación: si buscas algo novedoso, divertido y entretenido por un tiempo, este juego es el indicado, especialmente si ya estas fastidiado del monopoly tradicional, pero si lo que buscas es un juego que te haga pasar muchas horas de diversión con tus compañeros, este juego no cumplirá con esa expectativa ya que es muy fácil aburrirse del mismo.
The only complaint is the instructions could have been more clear with playing Chance cards.
