Monopoly has a fairly bad repor with gamers. Just take a look at its rating on BBG. And to be fair, I understand why. If I invented monopoly today, it's unlikely I'd be able to find a company that would be willing to publish it. In fact, publishers would probably laugh at me behind their backs, thinking "who, now-a-days, would ever want to buy a game where you roll a die and go around a board in a circle?" The truth of the matter is, probably not many.
