The problem with board games like Monopoly and Risk is that at some point, it’s obvious the one player is going to win – they have most of the board and there’s nothing the other players can do about it. So what incentive do the other players have at that point to keep playing?

You want something like Pandemic or Spirit Island or Gloomhaven, a cooperative game.

So maybe next game night Betty can have some participation trophies ready to hand out.

This wraps up a rerun week of playing Monopoly originally in Feb. 2020 – one month before the COVID pandemic started.

There is a need to learn to win in such a way as others still desire to play.
