Hello how may I help you? Hello I'd like to ask a question about a game. ok for which game? Monopoly. what can i help with monopoly? I was wondering who goes first in the game? the person who is closest to the board game goes first Wait I think that's wrong. I'm pretty sure your data is wrong. no it is stated in the rule book I am fairly certain the person who goes first is the person who is the oldest. i am afraid you are wrong
