Everyone who's played Monopoly more than a few times quickly understands that:
1. If it's early and you have an opportunity to acquire property, you take it
2. If you are out of cash and land on an unbought property, it's usually best to mortgage your other properties. This teaches the lesson of how leverage and debt, judiciously used, is to the capitalists's advantage.
3. If it's getting later in the game, usually nobody should willingly grant someone else a monopoly unless they themselves get one in return.
