Lisbon | Portugal

This was the first time I played Monopoly in 10 years. It astonished all of us that we played the game so seriously as kids — it’s incredibly complex and capitalistic as far as boards games go. I wonder how popular the game is outside of America … is this game fun or comprehensible for children in socialist societies?   
Actually we have that board game in europe too… at least in Portugal we do. I used to play it as a kid… And I can’t say for sure, but I do think kids still do. They have now of course, a €uro version!— zachklein
