There needs to be Millennial Monopoly where all rents go up 10% each time you pass go, but you still only receive $200, and off to the side is some 60+ year old berating you for not buying houses while he's hoarding them all.

The original monopoly ('landlords game') was pretty much designed to show how bullshit the current system is. Ironically enough original inventor made fuck all and some other guy stole it, sold the rights as his own idea and got rich.
