Introduction

The anthropocene reviewed, a podcast where we review different facets of the human centered planet on a five star scale. To day i'll be reviewing the board game monopoly and a high school nerd fest called the academic de cath lan. There are many problems with monopoly, but maybe the reason the game has persisted for so long it has been one of the world's best selling board games for over 80 years. Like life, people find meaning in its outcomes, even though the game is rigged toward the rich. And like life, your friends get mad if you bankrupt them. No matter how rich you are, there's an ever expanding void inside of you that money can never fill.
