#we may have left our money behind in the 24th century but monopoly will never die

They should have a Star Trek episode where a human Starfleet officer (who is normally very kind and pleasant and generally sweet) decides to introduce their alien friends to the antique and much-revered Earth game of Monopoly and said friends watch on in mounting horror as this sweet little human becomes the living embodiment of rage and capitalist greed, moving their small metal scottie dog with all the care of a petulant Klingon toddler and yet deftly avoiding what little property their friends rivals have managed to salvage.

The minute the game ends their paragon of Starfleet virtues materialises where this gremlin of chaos had sat, cackling atop their throne of acquisitions.

Unsurprisingly, the Ferengi get wind of this Earth game and it is a massive hit on Ferenginar.
