Monopoly is actually a double turns out because yes no one plays by the rules and yes it's still boring if you do

That Monopoly game has ridiculous (10+ minutes in some cases) load times, apparently.

Reboot your switch, the monopoly load times will be normal then, apparently.

I'm sorry you all know only unfun people that make board games unfun, thus tainting your views on them. Might I suggest playing board games with people that are less unfun?

A streaming group I follow does "AFK Thursdays" where they play various board games instead of video games. A couple months back they streamed themselves playing Monopoly with rules as written, zero House rules. It's still not a great game; but it's a whole lot more tolerable when people play it right. Complete with auctions and not a darn thing happening when you land on free parking.

I've never finished a game of Monopoly in my life. I'm not even sure how you do "win." We just played until we got bored.

It's usually a pretty fast snowball once the first person goes down, because that player's property either goes to the player that bankrupted them, or to the bank where it is immediately put up for auction.

I'm pretty sure you win by reaching an amount of money or by being the last player standing. It has been at least ten years though, so

Silver Falcon posted:I've never finished a game of Monopoly in my life. I'm not even sure how you do "win." We just played until we got bored. The idea is that eventually everyone except the winner will go bankrupt. Ironically one of the most common house rules (getting money for landing on Free Parking) is directly counter to this and tends to make the game last longer than it's supposed to. I still don't think it's very fun if you play it right though.

Did they confirm whether that Mario Party game actually has boards from the old games, or just minigames?

It has boards & modes but I'm pretty sure none of them are from the old games and they aren't using the old formula. Here's a trailer with some: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1VcLjBgLhq4 So like past 3DS Mario Parties it's more focused on game modes with short play sessions, which I think makes sense.

I just want a classic Mario Party; The kind where Bowser's Chance Time brings a loving relationship to the edge of bloodshed, and nobody is willing to talk to eachother for hours afterwards because someone managed to sweep the win through Bonus Stars.

Seems to me that that game already exists. In fact it exists eight times.

The good poo poo, from Europe.Old people don't wanna play those, they'll get mad because there's no dice to roll, and the mechanics actively encourage you to passive-aggressively gently caress with your opponents by occupying finite resources that they need. "But, how will I know where I have to move my piece? Can we just play Clue?" -a mom, probably

Your cruel denial of their third Red property is brought about by the whims of non-deterministic probability, like in real life, instead of your personal decision to buy that property out from under them... like in real life
