'''[[Monopoly]]''' is the best selling [[board game]] in the world. At first sight it appears to be a race game with players moving their tokens around the squares at the edge of the board according to the roll of the dice. However, the conditions for winning are actually based on the acquisition of wealth through a stylised version of economic activity involving the purchase, rental and trading of [[real estate]] using play money. It is named after the economic concept of [[monopoly]], the domination of a market by a single seller.
