The Landlord's Game
Monopoly was popular with kids on my block back in Palo Alto in the 60's.  At least, it was omnipresent in collections, and we'd attempt to play it every so often...<p>I can't remember one game that didn't feature (a) disputes about rules and the administration of the bank; (b) animosity and dissatisfaction upon exit; and (c) hollow emptiness for the (newly friendless)"winner".
