A question from Mrs. Sinensky's 10th grade Gemara class:
Is it OK to play monopoly on Shabbos (b/c you are playing with "money," you're sort of doing business)?
The Rav Shlomo Zalman Auerbach (as quoted in the שמירת שבת כהלכתה) allows it. Rabbi Chaim Pinchas Scheinberg does agrees that it is technically permitted, but adds that "playing a business-oriented game on Shabbat is not conducive to a proper attitude about Shabbat."
