Monopoly just needs easier credit. Imagine if you had to bulldoze your house in real life to get a mortgage. Landlords would be extinct.

One makes bread on face if she’s feeling a bit peckish. The boys, however, get hangry and start fights with eachother. Maybe they are each planning to eat the other if food is not forthcoming.

Baron Zephyrus posted:Monopoly originally existed to be a critique on capitalism/landlords, but you're not wrong with it's modern version. My grandmother in Spain loves Parcheesi. She'll curse at the dice if she doesn't like the rolls and sometimes even throws them over the balcony (she's up on the seventh floor). It's a good time.

Khanstant posted:I'm a single issue voter if anybody gets serious about making Monopoly the board game illegal. The concept feels like too big an ask... but anybody who has played through a game of Monopoly would surely agree nobody deserves the freedom to play, buy, sell, or manufacture such a wretched assembly of materials. Agreed, and anyone in possession of a themed version of the game goes straight to the gulags.

Captain Hygiene posted:READERS RESPOND So... " I just went to a wedding where the bride and groom were both in other relationships when they met." = "I just went to the wedding of two cheaters.", right? I mean, normally I'd assume they were friends in different relationships, had amicable breakups and later decided that they would make a good couple, but given the example this guy uses them as, that's where he's going, right?

All those euro board games have possibly blown up so big because anything with actual design is a refreshing novelty after generations of the same boomer games.

We had to ban the Xbox 360 version of Risk from our friend group in college. It was a ton of fun at first but somewhere along the lines we couldn't get though a game without starting to like get legit mad at one another or couples fighting with themselves or the other couple. I think the ban came after someone was trying to ban or hijack General Meowsimo and the discussion got heated enough we had to load a new bowl, delete the game and find something else to do that involved less betrayal and strife inherently.

If I woke up from my slumber to talk poo poo on what my partner was doing or get mad they changed the show, it would just be shooting myself in the foot. What's this lady's deal? She doesn't want the king of all sleep, sleep you should not be having?? Bizarre.

Yeah, we tried to play Star Wars Risk with another couple a while ago, and they just into a huge fight while we were still setting up the game because they disagreed about the rules, so eventually we decided to just play a different game before the divorce proceedings could begin. There's just something about these games that brings out all the drama.

Like her “husband” had her sign a fake certificate at a ceremony with his golf buds as witnesses and Judge His Best Friend Wearing A Fake Mustache. If he didnt get an actual divorce then she definitely isn't because bigamy isn't legal.

Play Monopoly with the actual rules and it isn’t a slog of hellish monotony. Like the proper actual rules and not the ‘free parking gets community chest fines, ‘no auctions’ types that families develop.

Or you could stop taking board games so seriously, and learn to lose/win (whichever is applicable) gracefully. Stop getting mad at board games.

I've always found it funny that in a game that's all about housing monopolies, people always end up making tons of house rules that prevent any player from actually getting a monopoly making sure that everyone has enough money to at least stay in the game comfortably,whereas in real life...

If you're sitting around watching the remaining players play monopoly you're doing it wrong. You walk away and do something else and just check back in every fifteen minutes or so to see if your wife and son have tried to kill each other over a train station yet.

I once played Monopoly against my now husband. I was winning; he had no chance to recover. But he said "oh, I have to go and catch my train now. What a shame, we'll never know who'd have won"  . That was the last time I ever played Monopoly, so really he did us both a favour.

I found a board game combining Monopoly and Scrabble a couple of days ago. Almost spent $35 on it. But then I couldn't decide if it was improving Monopoly, ruining Scrabble, or if my friendless rear end would ever play it anyway.

Scattergories is the best game, especially if you don't use the timer but just set your own on your phone. AITA for telling my father to cover up his BDSM tattoo at my step-son's birthday party? quote:He's not technically my step-son because his dad and I aren't married, but my boyfriend and I have been together for a long time and his bio mom isn't in his life. To make a long story short, my father freaked out and completely cut me off when I started transitioning in my teens. I was very upset at him for a long time, but I've always wanted a relationship with him. When he reached out to me, I was especially happy to hear him apologize about specific things he said to me, so I want to clarify, I really want to make this work. It's part of why I invited him to his birthday. I thought kink was sexual. Either way, cover your loving tat.

What a shame, we'll never know who'd have won" In my circle, we'd take pictures of the board and write notes on other setup needed to continue playing later. So we can torture ourselves over a Legacy game over multiple sessions.
