A friend of mine loves monopoly because he's good at it, he likes to beat people at it, and he feels tradition/"desire for social bonding" is on his side to get people to play it. When he entered a house with two games designers, he was very dissapointed. He tried to suggest we all played monopoly, "as a house thing", we said why we disliked it and suggested alternative games. He quickly shifted to poker!
But hearing marshall's reasons I can see why else someone might want to play that. I bet there's better trader/scarcity games out there though, even better rent-games.
