Monopoly. It's the ultimate "wheeling-and-dealing, take-no-prisoners" kind of game. Roll your dice. Move your piece. Play your hand. The game can be likened to the show "Survivor" -- Outwit. Outplay. Outlast. There are no alliances here as players have been known to turn on their own friends and family for the sake of having the most money and property. Yet, one wonders if there are there deeper lessons to be learned?
Philip Orbanes definitely thinks so. A Monopoly historian, Orbanes is the owner of a specialty game company, and the author of a few books on this popular game. In his latest book, "Monopoly, Money and You: How to Profit from the Game's Secrets of Success," Orbanes offers a fascinating look at the real life lessons that can be learned from playing the game.
