Seems odd to me that they would rate Monopoly as 1.3 complexity. This feels like "well it's an old game and so everyone probably knows it so it's not heavy". That feels wrong. Trying to explain Monopoly to someone who has never played could potentially be a very long discussion explaining how houses/hotels work, paying rent, etc.

Children can learn Monopoly fairly quickly. To me, that sounds pretty simple. Buy property, get money when people land on it, get more money if you have more house/hotels. That's just about it

Do you do the income tax space and the auction rule as written?

Really? I'm not saying Monopoly is dead simple and you would have to explain a few things but I think someone could understand it in about 5 minutes. Even if they didn't quite get the rules the game is really intuitive (And long xD) so they'd certainly fully understand half way through the first game. Most new games I've played you have to get in ~3 games before you start thinking more strategically.
