"I know this fellow back in New Jersey," said Scarsdale Vibe, "who collects railroads. Not just rolling stock, mind, but stations, sheds, rails, yards, personnel, the whole shebang."

If you're rich enough, your model train set can be an actual train. This is how a person had to play Monopoly before the game was invented in 1935. It was way more difficult to find other people to play with you. But when you did, you just took a bunch of money out of the bank, bought up all of their properties and assets, and sent them on their way while you looked for the next player. That's why it's called Monopoly! It's not called Free Market Fun with Proper Government Regulations to Make Things Fair for Consumers and Small Businesses. How fun would that game be?! Such a dumb game! It would be like playing Risk but respecting everybody else's borders and simply building up armies to defend your nation, just in case one of the other players gets some anti-social bug up their butt.
