Games Britannia: “Monopolies & Mergers”

In the part two of Games Britannia, Benjamin Woolley talked about the capitalist of games; which is the game of Monopoly. It was the popular fact that the British were the first ones to implement moral instructions on games. This was later on spread in the United States, and in there, it was forged to be a game that reflects a low effort that generates cash and hence the "American Dream". This is the birth of Monopoly, where the core of the game revolves around money and avarice.

Further in the documentary, Woolley discussed as well, the importance of great British games such as the Cluedo, and the Scrabble, where it is more than just a game. They are games that pictures world events and conditions, games that reflects on society. 

If I can voice an opinion, it would revolve around the idea that these games were of high importance; however is not recognized by the major portion of the society. In my opinion, these games are very great due to the reason of their birth.
