The point of the book is that you should never work hard if you can avoid it and instead goof off and get your gently caress on before you're old.

the two incorrect ways to play monopoly are to stringently follow the rules or to be my uncle, who liked to inform his seven-year-old children that if they loved their dad they wouldn't charge him and then gloat at them when he won

It ends in 30 minutes and the majority of the game is decided on the open market auctions so it has some semblance of strategy. Monopoly is still a poo poo game mind you, but its a poo poo game that has player interaction and ends before youre so drunk the phrase “b&o railroad” sends you into coughing fits of laughter.

Danaru posted:
To be honest if you follow all the rules, most importantly auctions on stuff people landed on but couldn't/didn't want to buy the game flows a ton better, is substantially faster, and there's really nothing that causes arguments. I feel like everyone who remembers monopoly always ending in board flipping rage tended to play with weird house rules and adhoc stuff that mostly resulted in screwing someone over or giving a free win to another person. Like everyone thinks they can come up with rules on the spot that make the game better and more fun for everyone but it never does.

I find if you make people play by the actual rules of monopoly they never, ever want to again so 30 minutes to be spared it forever with those people is always worth it.

At first its funny to kill your little grape people, then it becomes morbid, then annloying, and then you feel nothing. Grape man bisected by scissors, easiest to just stick the two lumps back together rather than mold him again.

Monopoly is intended to be a frustrating game that destroys friendships by being a metaphor for capitalism: luck + your ability to bullshit, barter, and leverage against people in dire straits will allow you to crush everyone you love under your heel until they are your debt slaves. The lady who invented it called it "The Landlord's Game" for a reason. And from the day she invented it in 1906 to today the same winning strategy applies: leaving dead animals on the doorsteps of your opponent's tiny green house will show them that you are a force that isn't to be hosed with and that you don't care about the rules.

phasmid posted:So you end up playing with play-doh? That sounds better than any game of monopoly, frankly. The act of making a new clay grape becomes so tedious that by the time the game ends you can understand why God would abandon their creation and question if the winner is simply the person who is cruel enough to keep remaking the clay grape whose only purpose is to suffer instead of letting his playdoh remains rest. Then, once you shake off the thousand yard stare youre free to play something actually fun like pretty pretty princess.

I have had a lot of luck converting libertarians to full on socialists by organizing a "Singles Libertarian Monopoly Meetup (Includes unpasteurized milk + home made vodka!)" through Meetup.com. I purposely throw Monopoly games until I'm at the verge of bankruptcy, and then a dozen black bloque antifa supermen surround me and say they just want to help out their friend, me, by taking all of my opponent's money and property and redistributing it to me. I buy the loser a drink to make them feel better about my sudden largesse. The ultimate point of monopoly is to realize you can flip the board over and attack the person who is oppressing you.

Xenocides posted:Drunk Monopoly destroys yet another relationship. Kind of cute. if your monopoly game lasts too long, you're playing the game without reading the rules. rules of monopoly state that if someone turns down buying a property when they land on it, that property goes to auction and the highest bidder wins it. try playing monopoly by the rules and see how much more fun it can be anecdote, recently the girl and I had 4 folk over to play catan. I started as the bank and wound up too drunk and talkative with the couple across from me to continue in the role, so the girl takes over for me. girl wins game, everybody goes home, fun time had by all. next day the girl tells me she cheated to win. I'm like, cool - now I know to keep an eye on you when we're on opposite teams in a board game and good for you for winning Admiral Ray posted:Rock em sock em robots is the only board game intellectuals played. dive bar the girl and I went to had this out and we musta spent at least 2 hours rock'n and sock'n 'em

Based off your username alone, I'm gonna say none of that happened. Also, referring to somebody as "the girl" is kinda creepy and weird outside of an irl talking with friends situation... even then still kinda strange.
