So basically they were hurt by Toys R Us closing (which makes sense).
Hasbro is a weird company. On the one hand they have WotC producing some of the most complex games in the tabletop space and on the other, you have Hasbro rebranding the same five games with every popular media property they can license. Oh, and unique and groundbreaking games like this:
You'd think they'd actually try making some new boardgames considering how popular the hobby is now.

INTRO: Why I hate Monopoly
If you just want to know how to win, scroll down to "EARLY GAME: Establishing the first monopoly". If, after reading the rest of the post, you have questions like "How could you do such a thing?" or "Why would you be so cruel?", this section contains the explanation. For various reasons, I think Monopoly is not that great of a game, but since everyone owns it, it still gets dragged out every once in a while.
Nobody knows how to play it, but they still end up hating each other.Nobody knows how to play it, but they still end up hating each other.
Nobody knows how to play it, but they still end up hating each other.
Because Monopoly is one of the best-selling games of all time, most of us learned to play it as children. As such, most of us know the basics of going through a turn, such as rolling, moving, buying and improving properties, collecting rent and so on. However, few people know all the rules (more on this later) or how to form a cohesive strategy. This results in games were people more or less roll the dice and go through the motions until somebody wins. Because of the way the game is designed, this inevitably results in one person acquiring a majority of the assets on the board, and beginning the slow, painful, friendship-destroying process of grinding the other players out of the game, turn by turn. This is why Monopoly starts as a fun exciting romp, only to turn into a bitter cesspool of despair.
This is intentional! This is intentional!

Monopoly was, in fact, a rip-off of "The Landlord's Game", a game designed decades earlier by Elizabeth Magie, a proponent of Georgism (Georgism - Wikipedia). The game was designed to teach children about the inherent unfairness of the capitalist land-grabbing system, and demonstrate how it enriches landlords while impoverishing tenants. Interestingly, it also included rules for a co-operative, anti-monopolist "Prosperity Game", in which victory was achieved when all players had at least double their original stake.

Ryan Lochte suspended 14 months over Instagram post
Quote:
In a release, USADA said Lochte was suspended after basically incriminating himself on social media. The release said on May 24, Lochte posted a picture of himself getting “an intravenous infusion of permitted substances at an infusion clinic in a volume greater than 100 mL in a 12-hour period without a Therapeutic Use Exemption (TUE).”

I was always expecting the boards to go electronic with real life miniatures. Butt four (or more) Ipads or tablets against each other and you have a good sized board. It can even add other players remotely, or create a linked world of hundreds of tablets. Dynamic playfields and animations, the touchscreens can detect what figurines are where.
awesome

Cliffs:
Get cheap 3 property monopoly
Put 3 houses on each
Get 2nd cheap 3 property monopoly
Put 3 houses on each
Put 4th house on each
Don't upgrade to hotels
Since Monopoly has a 32 house limit by the rules, you will own 2/3 of the housing market with no options for others to upgrade, you will win by attrition.

If You Want To Start Businesses, Will This Cat Poop Parasite Help?
Quote:
What do you need to become an entrepreneur? A good idea? Dedication? Drive? How about some cat poop?
Yes, while the road to starting you own business may be littered with challenges, who knew that it had anything to do with kitty litter? A study published in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences found an interesting relationship between exposure to Toxoplasma gondii, a parasite that can be found in cat feces, and interest in starting a business. A team from the University of Colorado (Stefanie K. Johnson, Dana M. Calhoun, Marissa A. Beldon, and Pieter T. J. Johnson), the Frankfurt School of Management and Finance (Markus A. Fitza), Deusto University (Daniel A. Lerner), and the University of Hong Kong (Elsa T. Chan) conducted the three part study.
The first part collected and analyzed data from 1495 students. Those students who tested positive in a saliva test for T. gondii exposure "were 1.4 times more likely to major in business and 1.7 times more likely to have an emphasis in ‘management and entrepreneurship' over other business-related emphases."
The second part focused on 197 professionals attending entrepreneurship events. Those who tested positive for T. gondii exposure "were 1.8 times more likely to have started their own business compared with other attendees."
The third part of the study integrated data from infectious disease databases and the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor. Countries with higher rates of T. gondii infections also had higher levels of entrepreneurial activity and lower proportions of people claiming that "fear of failure" was preventing them from starting new business ventures.

What could a parasite that currently infects over 2 billion people around the world possibly have to do with entrepreneurship? It may all be in people's heads. If you have a weakened immune system and are infected with the parasite, the parasite can invade your brain cells, causing lesions and leading to various central nervous system problems such as headaches, confusion, coordination problems, and seizures. A study published in the journal PLoS ONE found that T. gondii infections can alter the brain chemistry of rodents, increasing the metabolism of a neurotransmitter called dopamine. Brain chemistry disturbances could be a reason why rodents infected with T. gondii tend to be less fearful and more bold, as described in an article in the journal Microbes and Infection. While such boldness may not help rodents start businesses because rodents are very bad at pitching to venture capitalists, it could make them less afraid of predators such as cats and thus more likely to be eaten. In fact, this may be a natural mechanism to help the parasites spread themselves from host to host.

The catch is... it's not the parasite that makes you business savy... it's the realization that there are 85 million cat owners in the United States that you can exploit if you can convince them to buy your product that protects them against a poop parasite from their cat.
