It’s been a long time since I last played any of these games. I used to love playing Monopoly with my family. I liked playing the banker then, too! I remember wanting to have control over the money and carefully arranging them into neat piles. It’s no wonder the game still exists today.
Some people cheat when they play banker =(. They take money from the bank and pass it as their own.
