Rare insults

One good is.. "Facebook did to our fathers what they thought videogames would do to us".

They didn’t need the game, the greatest generation was already teaching them the slimy tricks

Case in point: monopoly was a game stolen by Charles Darrow in the early 1930s and sold to Parker brothers. The original game was “the landlords game”, invented in 1903 by Elizabeth Maggie, and was played with 2 sets of rules. One with fairly classic monopoly rules and one with anti monopoly rules that shared wealth. The point of the game was to illustrate how rent enriches property owners and makes tenants more and more poor over time. It was notable for being one of the first board games to be awarded a patent in 1904.

Monopoly was popular so Parker brothers later bought the patent from her to secure legal rights to the game. Their version obviously stripped away the messaging and solely focuses on greed and pro capitalist propaganda given that’s how they conducted business

They paid her $500 for the patent (roughly 11-12k today) and went on to earn millions from the game. She was furious they removed the messaging

Is Musk or Zuck a boomer? Oh shit, it's the Gen X and Millennials I'm supposed to hate.

Every generation has good and bad people.

What makes some tabletop fun is that they have a concept of “max hands”. It helps to balance the game and forces you to be efficient.
