I don't know if that was the intended way to play, but I've definitely heard that it's intended to demonstrate the perils of unfettered capitalism.
When I play I like to create a sustainable economy by refusing to sell or trade anything so nobody can build any houses. Just go round and around...
I'd be down with that. My favourite part of playing cricket's my flask of tea and some gala pie.
It'd be great to not have to actually bat, bowl or field to justify it.
I think we should kill literally everybody.
That'll show all those bloody snowflakes.
I also hate scrabble, so never having to play that ever again will be a convenient side-benefit.
