Monopoly

Pass Go game

Monopoly is a board game where players buy, trade, and develop properties while trying to bankrupt opponents.

The game uses play money, dice, and a board featuring properties named after Atlantic City streets.

We played Monopoly until three in the morning.

The game's name reflects its economic theme of market domination. (Lowercase monopoly is exclusive control over something.)
