4.     Monopoly

Monopoly is a popular board game that has been played by many generations now. It originated from the United States in 1903 and was developed to demonstrate that an economy that rewards wealth creation is better than one in which monopolists work under a few constraints. This game utilizes cards, dice, small figures of properties and infrastructures, money, and tokens. In general, monopoly helps you practice saving, budgeting, financial planning, and helps you adapt to sudden changes.

Each player should compose a word in every turn and letters should be connected from one word to another.
