the best player doesn't always win.

do you really want to know who is the best monopoly™ player?

Winning is fun; but in a game dominated by dice, does winning really mean you're the best player?  Even the most sycophantic apologist for Monopoly™ will admit, the best player doesn't always win.  But is it actually possible to construct a game that stays true to the spirit of Monopoly™, and also assures that the best player will almost certainly win?  As indicated throughout this website and blog, at The Monopoly™ Guru, we believe it is possible to construct such a game.  The changes in the rules are significant, but with a little experience, they shouldn't be difficult to master.
