Apparently the original Monopoly creator wanted there to be a second set of rules where you work together and it doesn’t end with one player rich and everyone else bankrupt. But the game company was like “No thanks, we’ll just do the capitalist hellscape version.”
It's interesting to me that not being interested in being competitive is interpreted as afraid of losing. I personally enjoy funny/skillful games and don't care if I win or lose, because I have fun while I play.
Games and toys are supposed to be fun, right? My house plays competitive for who completes first. It's heavy. Then we keep playing, using our turns to help the others.
Operation: but before you can start, you need to check if the patient has insurace, if their insurance covers this proceedure, if this hospital is on the coverage area, and if he needs to advance his copay before you can save his life 😊
If you are interested in how "all chutes and no ladders" would turn out, the channel No Rolls Barred has an episode of their House Rules series that shows just that. Hillarious. Snakes and Ladders, but ONLY SNAKES.
oh my god that video was gold from start to finish. it did prove less competitive but it was just because they banded together to survive the experience lmao
Monopoly but first your parents have to play a regular game of monopoly to decide who starts with money and properties and who starts with nothing. If anybody complains, then everybody has to look them in the eyes, point to the "Go" space, and shout "EQUAL OPPORTUNITY! EQUAL OPPORTUNITY"
All the Monopoly comments - the irony is that Monopoly was originally created to show how economic disparity screws people but was co-opted by the "greed is good" mentality. Also as a Gen Xer who is probably the least competitive person in the world, I love the idea of non competitive board games. I legit hate playing board games because the competitiveness makes me uncomfortable.

If it's Gen Z we're talking about, "Sorry" has been replaced with "You asking for an apology is manipulative and abusive and therefore you are toxic, unless it's you that needs to apologize, in which case we are entitled to your apology and thus can take whatever measures necessary to force you into giving one" It's a long name for a board game, but it's Gen Z who made it that complicated.
@badwolf3618 uhhh, no, no that's not Gen Z. Even if it for some reason was, we didn't develop this, we learned it from previous generations. I am typically part of the group of those in Gen Z who trash our own generation, but still I can't agree with you
I hate competitive games and I’m genZ. Never heard about anyone bitching about it tho, so I don’t see where this fuss over “haha genz” comes from (well I do, it’s just not funny)
Society is bifurcating. Kids are growing up either without parenting or with permissive parents, in schools districts that are either either very oppressive or very nurturing. So in some places there is nothing stopping the dumb kids from becoming REALLY dumb, and nothing stopping the smart kids from becoming REALLY smart. In other places the schools crush the smart kids. So even though some kids are smarter than past generations, lot of other kids end up dumber than past generations. So the overall average is lower. I've worked with both groups. The intelligence gap between them is terrifying. It's the real reason for the political divide, and the two side don't even speak the same English anymore. The most popular reason for voting against Hillary Clinton was "I can't understand a word she says."
Okay but for real, co-op boardgames are WAY more fun. There's been a trend in the boardgame industry since the early 2000s that overtly competitive games do not sell as well as co-op. And in the last decade, solo games, or games with a dedicated solo-variant are hot as hell.
Right?! Games and toys are supposed to be fun. My house plays regular board games competitively for who completes first. It's heavy. Then we keep playing, using our turns to get the others to finish.
Coop board games have been around for over 40 decades. Pandemic (2008) is one of the most popular coops around. So a coop Scrabble is nothing surprising...I would actually probably start playing Scrabble. A coop scrabble would be great for school situations to build teamwork and language skills at the same time. I may even introduce it for my teaching English here in Japan (I use board games all the time in my classes).
As a member of Gen Z who is actually in to board games, I can definitely see the non-snowflake reason for this. More complex cooperative games are actually really fun (Betrayal at the House on the Hill and Mysterium are my two favs and Pandemic had a moment a few years ago for reasons I cannot fathom) and I don’t honestly like the pure competition of traditional American games. If they did some market research showing that younger gamers prefer those kinds of games, but were also idiots, I could definitely see them pulling this kind of thing to fail to cater to modern players.
Okay I know this video is comedy but people are getting the absolute wrong idea about the version of scrabble being talked about. It is not a replacement for scrabble. It is an addition. The board in question is reversible. One side is traditional scrabble and the other is the Scrabble Together version where there are set challenges that players need to cooperate to accomplish.
Honestly... I much prefer board games that are collaborative or "everyone has to get the end". Furt is excellent. I just never understood why I was supposed to find intense competition fun or relaxing.
Pandemic is actually so stressful. I can't with it. There's also a coop game called Dead of Winter which is like 10x more stressful. I own both and I want to get rid of them, even looking at the boxes makes me overwhelmed lol
Weird generational clash here... to me people who genuinely care about winning a goddamn board game instead of having fun with friends often seem like losers who got nothing else in their life going for them... but yeah, maybe I'm just lazy...
Candy Land but there’s no candy to eat. It’s just Land. Trivial Pursuit but the questions have gone from “What British magician bought the car license plate “MAG 1C”?” to “What’s 2+2?”
We used to play collaborate scrabble, in order to build the best most creative words. We would make it more difficult by adding themes like "drug-scrabble" or "pop-star-scrabble" or "dysfunctional family scrabble" anything really. It's fun. And more challenging than regular, but not very competitive.
My froends Gen Zalpha kids played cooperately, reserving spots and borrowing letters for "family togetherness". They were under a lot of pressure and stress at the time so i got it even though it was the opposite of my family
Chutes and ladders with all chutes no ladders is just our entire lives in gen z, with the added bonus of starting at completely random places on the board. By the way, the latter half of gen z is lazy because they survived a pandemic through a major part of their developmental years, and school systems were handing out As like candy instead of making sure they actually learned because there wasn't really an alternative if those kids were ever going to be allowed to go to college. That's not their fault. As for the former half, we're actually very hard workers, we just have healthy boundaries and standards and we're not stupid enough to think a company cares about us.
It’s pretty funny that Doug came up with “all chutes no ladders”, which is a perfect description of Gen Z’s economic outlook…but then completely screwed up his own metaphor by calling them “lazy assholes”. You know the “chutes” in that game bring you backwards, right Doug? And the ladders are the shortcuts, which have all been pulled up behind the boomers and Gen X-ers who happily climbed them in the first place?
This is reasonable. Monopoly in all its vile and hateful forms has been banned from my house. I used to LOVE Monopoly and then one day an evil ogre made me fall in love with it and we had to ogre children and ALL OF THEM BEAT ME AT MONOPOLY!
Its not competitive games. Its hostile warfare when some families are involved. "Mop. That's 6 points, and maybe worth more if you ever learned to use one." "Well, if you had another M, you could have spelled mom, which you'll never be because your eggs all dried."
I could be wrong since I'm typing a guy feeling instead of doing any research to support this, but I don't know that people don't play Scrabble because they aren't competitive, I think people don't play Scrabble because the only people that want to play are way too fucking good and suck to play against.
Wtf has nepotism got to do with generation? Sumbo here doesn't know they're completely seperate things, nepotism has existed for ages & will continue to do so, it's not condoned to an age group

I feel like didn't scratch the surface: - "Don't Break the Ice". - Literally, don't break the ice. Don't pick up the hammer. - "Operation" - Homeopathic Edition - "Rock'em Sock'em Robots" - They have little handbags in this gloves so when they "punch" they are handing participation awards to their opponent. - "Trouble" - Don't worry, you're not in trouble. Just tell me what you did and we can talk it out. I'm sure it wasn't your fault. - "Clue" becomes "Redirect" wherein the murder itself is kept from the players. - "Mastermind" becomes "Hivemind" and there's just the one color to guess. - "Trivial Pursuit" - questions only pertain to the last five movies, TV shows, and albums listened to by the participants. - "Perfection" is rebranded "Close Enough" - getting the pieces within four to ten inches from where they are suppose to go is "close enough" - "Jenga" - All the pieces have been glued together and whoever looks at the lower the longest wins.
“Late-stage Monopoly”, where 3 people already own all of the properties when you start the game and you get sent to jail if you can’t pay 😂😭
More like ONE person owns all the properties. And that person is also in charge of the money, because of course they are.
Apparently the original Monopoly creator wanted there to be a second set of rules where you work together and it doesn’t end with one player rich and everyone else bankrupt. But the game company was like “No thanks, we’ll just do the capitalist hellscape version.”
Is it "late-stage monopoly" or just America 😭

Same. I’m not competitive. I genuinely don’t care enough
I like collaborative games or just casual ones when I've got time off. Too much stress and competition in the workplace/school already.
Yuuup, collaborative games are often just way more interesting and fun for everyone...
Raised in thev80s, when we had competition drilled into us. I hate it. Good for Gen Z.

As in back to the original intent?
@@twothirdsanexplosive yeah, it's sad that most people don't know Monopoly's original intent. The creator wanted one thing and it got so corrupted.
All players must speak Russian for the duration of the game if they don’t when the Cold War starts they will be assumed a spy and removed from play
Monopoly but all property prices double every time a player collects $200
