Koaning.io used Markov chains, a kind of stochastic modeling more famously used to generate pseudo-meaningful written text, to show that the board game Monopoly is heavily imbalanced by the "go to jail" mechanic.

Monopoly is still a game of chance and there are many dimensions that we did not simulate" Still, one clear result of this simulation is that you should keep an eye on that orange street. It should provide a very steady flow of income.

A worthy project would be to provide a solid computer model to show that the board game Monopoly ruins Christmas.mAvijhsbBhM
