It's Monopoly.

Monopoly can be an incredibly frustrating and long game. This isn't any different. It is nice that it offers a lot of interesting gameplay modes and options to match how different families and groups play Monopoly.
They also did a good job at compressing a lot of options for each player on their move while looking like a pretty decent board. Trading and purchases are surprisingly pleasant on the console, especially since it was a surprise to even see these kinds of things even implemented.
My family currently has three saved games, which we refuse to finish. The curse of Monopoly's standard game mode is that it is chance and predictable - when someone's ahead, they stay ahead. There's no rubber-banding in a game like this, maybe a push-and-pull between first and second place, but there is a threshold in which there are clear winners and losers before it's actually done.
Global capitalism is a virus that's killing us and our planet.
