Yep.

Cat rules: any time a player's token, house piece, hotel piece, or die, lands on the side of the board in front of you, swipe it off the table with your paw.
Whoever keeps their side of the board clear, wins!

Nonono.

They reverse the Bond villain's role, and it's a giant fluffy billionaire cat sitting in the egg chair, gently stroking a tiny Bezos, Altman, or Musk in its lap.

This is a super villain origin story photo.

@catsalad keep in mind that cats have highly developed strategies to deal with capitalism among the best known are:

- ignore and nap
- The good ol’ paw strike
- throwing a hair ball on the board.

Capitalism has been unable to tame cats and it only remains because they have not bothered throwing it off a shelf yet.

@catsalad

It's also make him learning a very bad boardgames design IMHO....

The original landlord game was design as a satire... it's why it's purposely bad.

As an economical simulation their is a lot of good game:
*Food chain magnate about consumerism
*john company for the link between capitalism and colonialism
*or any 18XX if you like train, and want to do the effort by yourself for some of them (especially the one in usa) to explain the use of slavery to build railroad, thing that the game rules ignore entirely.
