... be done (81). The tournament is significant to the book in that it illustrates the another aspect of their lives that Smiley left out. The infamous monopoly tournament between Ginny, Ty, Rose, Pete, and Jess went beyond a mere harmless board game played to pass the time and fill pages of the book.
