In 1935, the Parker brothers purchased the rights to the Monopoly board game from Charles Darrow. Today the game is played among millions of families and friends around the world. Monopoly is a classic game that has been passed down through many generations, including several editions of the game. Although many consider Monopoly to be an original game, its origin is Lizzie Maggie's "The Landlord's Game". Although both games are similar in the way they are played, Monopoly still manages to be the most popular game today. Monopoly is a game that requires strategy and manipulation. I like to play with my loved ones because as the game progresses it can become competitive. The game begins when each player chooses a motive of their choice. Each player starts the game with $15 million and will roll the dice to see which player gets the higher value of the two dice. The player who rolls the highest value will go first and so on in descending order. After each player has gone around the entire board, they will receive 2 million dollars for passing "GO" and players will be able to start buying properties. I will investigate frequently rolled numbers to determine where players will end up on the board. However, I will only consider the first two rolls, because as the game progresses it becomes more difficult to determine where the players will land, based on the number that was rolled on the dice. The pitching process becomes complicated when a player throws three consecutive doubles sending him straight to prison. I plan to investigate the probability of rolling the dice to determine where players will end up on the board. I will only consider the first two turns because as the game progresses it becomes more difficult... in the center of the card... squared because there are four paths you can proceed. Arriving at the prison, going directly to the prison space, choosing a chance card, and rolling three consecutive doubles will land you in prison. To win the game it is important to think ahead when purchasing properties based on where your opponents are headed or where you see they have landed the most, i.e. all sixth, seventh and eighth spaces on the board. I feel like without having this strategy behind the game, it's still easy to spot. Once a player understands that a particular property is commonly visited, they will begin building on that property whether the property is as valuable as Time Square or as valuable as Centennial Park. Monopoly is a great game to play with family and friends, and while it gets competitive, it's worth winning.
