    The original game that Monopoly is based on (The Landlord’s Game) was a tool for teaching how bad landlords and owning land privately and permanently is. Monopoly is still a great tool to show how an early advantage leads to an ever-growing monopoly that will inevitably crush all the other players with no modifications necessary.

      Exactly this. If you want to rig the game, just give one player a bunch more money than anyone else and watch how the natural game unfolds.
