Default Much more skill in stratego than monopoly

Stratego is a game of skill, with hidden information providing some randomization. However, a good player will beat a bad player virtually everytime. As a kid, I had a strategy no friend or family member could beat. I lost the first time I played this game and never lost again. After awhile, no one would play me.

Monopoly, on the other hand, is heavily luck dependent. At the start of the game, you need to buy up properties to win. Landing on properties is just a matter of getting good dice rolls. If you don't get the deeds, you are dead. Sure there's some strategy, but it's pretty basic. As long as you aren't a moron and don't pass up valuable properties, run totally out of money or make dumb trades, monopoly is basically just craps with street names.
