My guess is that y'all are much smarter then I am.
That havung been said, if a new Monopoly game were made, with a central bank included, what would the rules be like?
I can't imagine many people wantimg to play it, unless, of course, they were part of the central bank. I hope for some help here, and intend to code something playable.
Thanks, in advance, for your help.
If nothing else, it would seem to be a good intrellectual exercise.

I'm not even sure there's many people who want to play regular Monopoly. I think it would be much more beneficial to create a game that would teach people a useful mentality that would assist them in the real world...something like Robert Kiyosaki's Cashflow 101. Monopoly is boring enough as it is, and it doesn't really teach you anything. I don't think you'd have much success trying create "Monopoly...with the Federal Reserve".
Random suggestions in the Chance or Community Chest cards:
Central Bank prints money; inflation rampant. Lose 10% of your cash.
You have been bailed out. Collect $500.
You work for the central bank. Get out of jail free.
Peter Schiff mocks you on national television. Take three steps back.
Cenral bank artificially props housing market. Collect $10 for each house, $20 for each hotel.

How about the "Ron Paul Abolishes Fed" Card? I guess that defeats the whole purpose of the game though
Monopoly was supposed to teach people how taxes worked yo.
Also, when you collect 200 for crossing GO, that is your income.
A central bank just ensures that the central banker wins. He can get the regular bank to take the original property mortgages for the houses to build up equity so the spaces on the board cost more. Then people spend out all kinds of money when landing on the best players property. Then when the players start going bankrupt, foreclose on the properties. Then the central bank can sell those houses for real cheap to the player that was getting hammered, by landing on the expensive spaces that you gave their opponent the equity for, so they can sell them back to the central banker just to stay in the game.
Oh, yea the game will never end. It will just suck money away from successful players who monopolize property; subsidize the losers. But, the central banker will always be winning.
