First to recommend

For the Ayn Randians and anti-establishment champions. From the site, "This game has an exciting twist to the one you know ù players choose free enterprise or monopoly, and play under different rules as a result. Who wins? Is it the Competitor who charges fair market value for rent? Or is it the Monopolist who amasses control over whole regions and can charge much higher fees?" Methinks this could turn into an angry game. But funny.

If you like the game of Monopoly, check out this cool new version called Anti-Monopoly ($25). In this altered modern version, you can choose whether you want to play as a free-market competitor or a monopolist and then must adhere to entirely different rules. Competitors charge fair rent, create supply and demand and can end a price war, while greedy monopolists charge high rents, restrict supply and can go to prison for price fixing. Either way you go, somebody will still cheat, the game board will get pushed off the table, tempers will flare, family and friends will be divided, punches will get thrown and everyone will end up in jail without ever passing Go. I love Monopoly! (via The Green Head)
