Shortest Possible Game of Monopoly
NPR talks to Dan Myers of Notre Dame University about the shortest possible game of Monopoly he and his son designed. It’s extremely unlikely. One player quickly moves around the board to buy Boarwalk and Park Place, then the other player draws a chance card to go to one of those properties with four houses on it and can’t afford the rent. Two turns per player.
Next project is reported to be finding the shortest possible game of Risk. It kind of makes me want to analyze Settlers of Catan or something.
