   New Monopoly House Rule, the "Luigi Rule":

   If the poorest player and the richest player occupy the same space on the board, the poorest player may choose to assassinate the richest player, causing the richest player to immediately lose the game and forfeit all their money and property back to the bank. The poorest player of course will go directly to jail, will not pass Go, and will not collect $200. However, they also come second place in a beauty pageant and win $20.

     @Lana It's worth noting in this context that Monopoly was based on The Landlord's Game, patented in 1904 by fiction writer and poet, engineer, stage actress and outspoken activist for the feminist movement, Elizabeth Magie.

     Magie was a fierce abolitionist and proponent of social justice for African-Americans, and her game - based on the teachings of progressive era economist Henry George - was meant to illustrate the negative effects of land monopolies.

     The original rules were anti-capitalist.

     @Lana @Anoia and the other players become the jury pool and can vote for jury nullification if they feel the assassinated player deserved it.
