Games Britannia: Monopolies and Mergers

The second episode in the Games Britannia series follows gaming into morals and politics instead of religion and simply making a game from nothing.
Mansion of Bliss was a game all about morals and promoting good behaviour in children, the game itself, however, was a simple game of chance. Following more along the lines of trends and less on the moral compass was Pank a Squith which followed the story of Emily Pankhurst.
Although some trends have been almost completely forgotten the following games are still strong today, although the first not by the name it originated with. Brer Fox an' Brer Rabbit was the spiritual forerunner to Monopoly and Cluedo and Scrabble have remained the same for long years.
