  German speakers have a funny sense of humour :

  Hogans heroes,

  Marie Antoinette : " --let them eat cake"

  of the house of Saxony Coburg, or was that Battenberg? on london architecture: "--after taken it down at least they did not erect--"

  Frankenstein.

  Kafka joined the game and used a cockroach as a game piece.

  Wittgenstein thought the game was the world, as far as his vision permitted.

  Einstein joined the game and asked: "The lord does not play dice!?" and HE has the monopoly.

  since monopoly is about real estate futures, manufacturing, intellecual property perhaps here are some possible play scenarios.

  Albert Einstein, Johan Kepler, both of math , cosmology fame, residents of Prag, part of the Habsburg domain would advocate relinquishing all holdings and flee, for the german population would be expelled in due, (Einstein,s) time.

  Max Born, nobel price in math/physics would flee Breslau, seat of his family business and liquidate all his assets to flee nazis, settle in Scotland. germans expelled from his home, as Poland expanded. wise move to shun real estate, manufacturing there.

  Emanuel Kant, with pure reason and insight in galactic immensity, would avoid future investment for his family in Koenigsberg (now Kaliningrad ) and part of Russia, his offspring expelled.

  All these players would do well to flee west, as Einstein did to Princeton (not far from Jersey Shores) wise moves on the monopoly board.
