Now that I think about it, there is a branding version of Monopoly that does hit close to home in modern times. I forget the name, but you buy billboards like McD's, Amazon, WalMart, Apple, etc., until your corporation owns everything.
The original version was designed to make a statement about the unfairness of monopolies, so the fact you either own a ton and become the wealthy landlord charging astronomically more as you crowd out the competition--or keep losing drastically while being mortgaged to the hilt--was kind of the point it was trying to make. Not so much advice to follow as economic awareness / commentary /
criticism.
