If you buy Park Place, you should try to get Boardwalk too, but the monopoly it would form has real economic consequences for the community

When you're playing Scrabble, don't focus on trying to get the best available bonus tile, try to get the most points for the round instead. Not only will you generate good will with your opponent by leaving it open, your opponent's best play may not involve the tile either leaving open future score-maximizing potential for both parties

Candyland is a game that has no representation of moral consequence. This is primarily due to the fact that Candyland does not involve any aspect of choice, and the "game" is preset by the order of the cards at the beginning of the game. A unique take on predestination, if you will. A favorite among Calvinist families.

Chutes and Ladders, like Candyland, is a game without moral consequences, because the player is not given a choice in any of the game's affairs. The message of the two games couldn't be more different. Candyland represents a Marxist fantasy, where the movements of all players are dictated by a centrally planned regime at the beginning of a game (or five year plan ). Chutes and Ladders exudes a bleak depiction of the fate of the common man under the capitalist system. Players are compensated for their time-labor each turn according to the arbitrary toss of a die, but the game board stymies the effort of the player to maintain an ascension to wealth with the chutes, and rewards others just as arbitrarily as the initial toss of the die. "All games have morals; and the game of Snakes and Ladders captures, as no other activity can hope to do, the eternal truth that for every ladder you hope to climb, a snake is waiting just around the corner, and for every snake a ladder will compensate. But it's more than that; no mere carrot-and-stick affair; because implicit in the game is unchanging twoness of things, the duality of up against down, good against evil; the solid rationality of ladders balances the occult sinuosities of the serpent; in the opposition of staircase and cobra we can see, metaphorically, all conceivable oppositions, Alpha against Omega, father against mother" - Salman Rushdie In other words, Salman Rushdie is full of poo poo and deserved the fatwa
