The Inaugural Game of MINIGOPOLY

x

It was the first time that this brand new scaled down version of OLIGOPOLY was ever played and its first ever CHAMPION is Ike from "Dewi cs" class.



Wednesday 09-09-09 (what a great date for this momentous occasion!) the competitors in the famous "laboratory rats" game, from left to right: Yeyen, Ika, Dewi, Ike and Donan.



MINIGOPOLY differs from OLIGOPOLY in the following areas: board size, number of properties, number of dice used, when salaries are paid, how taxes are levied, the system used for elections, what makes inflation go up and down. In terms of 'feel', the two versions of the game are very similar. MINIGOPOLY takes 90 minutes to play while a full game of OLIGOPOLY takes three hours. Six is the maximum - and ideal - number of players for both games.



Inflation was "4" at the end of the game so all Corporations were valued at $400,000, and all Marketing Companies were valued at $200,000. Ike won with three Corporations, two Marketing Companies and $3,900,000 in cash. This gave her a total of $5,500,000 in assets. If inflation had been "6" at the end of the game then Dewi would have won because she owned five Corporations! It was a close result. Well played everyone. And well played to Ike who is the Wisma Bahasa's Inaugural Champion of MINIGOPOLY.
