Compared to the number of copies *sold* they are certainly not played 
*regularly* by most of the owners.  Ask a random set of people in the 
street if they (a) have Monopoly and/or Risk sets, and (b) when they 
last played them, and see if that tells you anything.

Or for the General Public, chess and draughts.  Sets in circulation does 
not mean an endorsement of the design.  Almost everyone I know has 
access to a Monopoly set.  I'd guess the average time between games is 
measured in years for most, however.
