Has Monopoly turned out to be the most harmful boardgame ever made? It is constantly used for McDonalds promotions and yet another Monopoly scratchcard hit the checkouts this month.

it was originally an anti-monopoly game, but things don't always work out as expected

Interesting jno!

There are at least 4 different Monopoly scratchcards at present.Still,a decent win on one could fund a Big Mac meal with extra fries...
I'm surprised there isn't a Chance card saying "Steal idea from your neighbours, collect $200".

Very good ;-)
I do my lotto on line and i occasionally played their Monopoly game. That is until, paying particular attention, i noticed that the dice landed on the same numbers twice in succession. Needless to say, both were losing games. I contacted Camelot to express my disappointment and they replied that as there were only an infinite number of 'outcomes', it wasn't unusual to see this occurrence. I replied that, had the first 6 rolls of the dice produced a really decent win, what would be the odds of the second 6 rolls being identical. They skirted that issue in their second reply, they ended by saying, "We hope this hasn't spoiled your enjoyment of playing the game." I told them i wouldn't be playing any of their instant win games ever again. And, of course, i haven't.
