Monopoly: Casual player or megalomaniac?

Face up on Facebook?!

Never played on FB!

i think some people make it up as they go along. I am the only one it seems who abides by the rules it seems

I thought it was all in the past, but it's just flooding back to me... it's not just the silly house rules, it that persistent cheat too... she'd roll a six, pick up the dice, move seven, or five, whatever's convenient, claim that she'd rolled whatever she'd moved... then play all dim if caught out.



and relax.

I hate monopoly, any game that can go on longer than a cricket match can't possibly be fun

Nothing beats a good game of Risk to bring a family reunion to an abrupt close.

Every single time ive played Monopoly Ive had the most profound, consistent and at times, comical bad luck. I end up in prison on every frickin lap.

Stupid game.

Many a christmas spent playing for the whole day, and sometimes beyond. We used to allow an auction (starting at 1/2 price of the face value) if the person that landed on it, didn't wish to buy.
Would end up like an episode of storage wars, where alliances would build up to make ME pay more than i wanted to!!! GGGrrrrrr

And in collusion with my wife, the kids would give themselves £300 every time they passed GO

I simply can't be @rsed with it, but play it now and again with the kids, I wouldn't otherwise. In a now infamous family holiday game, a rainy day inside a camper van, a game lasted 6 hours, and one of my kids turned out to have quuite a head for business and megalomania!

We had a family Hum That Christmas Tune at well christmas and been to friendlier knife fights was that competitive. Between that and cheating accusations at Cluedo, there's no way we could afford the policing to play Monopoly.

Little Ms. Admin won. If the dancing career doesn't work out I'm getting her enrolled into hotel management school straight away ...
