bad board games

if the instances stopping some from buying everything up can be bypassed by just having more money then they're pointless. maybe one guy can't have so much property, but what about a firm? and then a second firm, so many companies that own so much all owned by one person
I was about to say. When was that ever used?
-
To be fair in the real world we do have instances stopping people from buying everything, it is just that some countries are corrupt af.
Only countries where the local rich or the government bought up enough that when the real capitol arrived, they said "not for sale"
Oh yeah, and also had a military strong enough to make it too risky to send in the private armies that companies used to have

Works for one
I absolutely despise the game, so there's two of us.

My first speeding ticket happened during college. I had to take a few weeks driving course, cut luxuries out of my life for a month, and pick up extra shifts at my job for a month to handle it. It was an overall miserable experience.
My next speeding ticket happened while I was an engineer. I literally paid it off on my phone while the officer was doing paperwork on the side of the road AND gave them an extra $100 because I could do that instead of any kind of driving course. I stopped caring about it at all 10 minutes later. It was fucking wild to see "laws are only for the poors" in action like that
Perfect real world example

Looks like someone wrote a pretty recent dissertation on the subject
The Downside of Wealth: Toward a Psychopathology of Money Accumulation, Noah Laracy. The Chicago School of Professional Psychology, 2017
For a summary of a summary wealthy people have better health and quality of life, which shouldn't surprise anyone due to the food, housing, access to healthcare, etc security money buys currently, and when controlling for age (comparing like aged individuals instead of only looking at wealth) paranoia increases with wealth.

This is the my problem with Marvel Snap, which has a (simplified) betting system like poker (a player can retreat — fold — at any time.)
So when my opponent is doing their thing and I realize I'm going to sweep the board, I feel sympathetic and dont snap (raise)... even if they snap, in which case I know they're happier losing four cubes than eight.
Gloves go off when they use Goblins, Ice Man or Scorpion, which attack my turf directly, and I get pissy when they Juggernaut or Leader at the wrong time, and an ancient, long trained master of MtG (sober, now) my synergy combos are atypical and catch rivals often by surprise.
Oh, in full disclosure, I'm playing for free, even though each paid season nudges the power curve forward slightly (making it a teensy bit pay-to-win.) I'm poor and when I say I'm a sober MtG player, it's because I was a total addict and miss it like Bilbo misses the One Ring.

I hate that the trick to dominating any civ game is to be hyper aggressive. For whatever reason they can’t get the AI to be the slightest bit competent.

It's one of the earliest recorded examples of selling an artsy game that is meant to be unfun.
