The Election in Board Games - Alexandra Petri, Washington Post
Monopoly: Aided by shady, regularly disbursed funds from a “banker,” constantly under the surveillance of a mustached man with a top hat and monocle, you careen around the board trying to gather places with names like “Kentucky” and “Vermont” into your hands before your opponent does.
Clue: It is totally kosher to imply that at some point your opponent was responsible for killing someone.
Life: You insist that everything good that has come to you is because of your personal merit and choices, not luck.
