Don’t Waste Your Time Perhaps there is a trick to this game that I am missing, but so far I have found it immensely frustrating. The concept is that you either play as a Monopolist or a Competitor. It is very difficult to win when playing as a competitor, because the rents you charge are much lower, although you pay the same amount as the monopolist for everything. For example, the railroads cost $200, both of you have to pay that amount. The competitor charges $20 rent. If the competitor owns all four railroads, he still only charges $20 rent. However, if the monopolist buys all four railroads, he charges $320 rent.

However, the competitor charges much less rent. For a property with three houses, a competitor may charge $25, while a…
Anti-Monopoly lives up to its name If you are a person that likes the original Monopoly, pass on this game. This has to be the most boring, frustrating thing I have done since I played hide and go seek with a blind guy. Dude sucked at that game.

I played the banker and about the time I finished counting and distributing the money the fun ended.Losers don’t have to wait until all of that color property is owned to start building houses. All they need is 1 property and they can start building. But the downside is that no matter how many houses are on a property, the losers only charge a flat amount for rent. Whereas the winners can…
