credburn posted:Monopoly is fuckin great. Whoa nice, that’s interesting you made your own version. A buddy was stuck on a boat for many months and ended up with a hand carved Settlers set. Monopoly was not a favorite growing up then played a version with friends that introduced the idea of house rules, removed all currency under $20 and each turn was roll, you buying that? No, ok pass the dice. We completed the game in under 15 minutes and I was surprised Monopoly could be fun.

I like the the rule’s literally say “Don’t use house rules, don’t use free parking for bonus money, it makes the game drag on 300 hours past any point of enjoyment” now.

My siblings and I drew up our own set of jokey chance and communities chest cards that did things like swap random bills or properties, or get big cash awards from the bank, without the slightest regard for game balance. It made for silly fun, the typical game was over within maybe a half hour, when one player effectively controlled all the money in the game. That's the only way to play monopoly imo.

Kind of want to talk about this for a moment. So we used to call this ironically Monopolocity which sounds like it's a portmanteau with velocity but in fact this doubles or triples the length of the game. The standard Monopoly rules all apply except now each corner space is divided into two halves; one which forces the player to move along the diagonal path on the next turn and the other which gives the player the option. Each diagonal quadrant is a "district," and the prices scale with Monopoly (i.e. the cheapest property on the diagonal paths is a little more expensive than Boardwalk). There are three properties in each district but for the CASINO district which just has two. Players don't develop on these interior spots; instead, if a player owns a monopoly, the rent on said spaces is multiplied by 10. There's one new utility, a couple new Chance and Community Chest cards (I think only four, and they just sort of mimic other such cards but in regards to newer properties) -- including the Bankruptcy Lawyer, which is like Get Out of Jail but instead it blocks the umm... the black square which I can't remember what it's called, but if you land on it, you must either mortgage all your properties or give all your money to the Free Parking thing. If a player owns the middle property, the train thing, this allows other players to move from one railroad to another that they own, but in doing so they must pay the owner of the middle property as well as the rent at the space landed on and the space arriving to, if owned by another player. There's a couple silly casino stuff that was placed kind of to round out the spaces to keep it consistent, but honestly that part was never really fleshed out. There is a jackpot square, though -- a jackpot is like a D20 that's rolled whenever a player passes go, and once the jackpot is hit, the player earns... ummm... the D20 x 100 or something. Can't remember exactly now. The jackpot square is placed close to the best properties in the game along with bankruptcy court. However, it's only seven spaces from bankruptcy court to Free Parking. So depending on which route you're going, this is a tense situation. But you can also lose everything and get it back on your next turn if you can nail a relatively high-probability number. The best game we ever played was like a five hour marathon. It came down to two guys, one who basically owned all the perimeter spaces (standard monopoly properties), but the other guy owned all the railroads. By utilizing the free railroads, the guy could manage to evade the deadly final hotel-strewn stretch of the standard board, and the other fellow could manage to get out of having to go down the middle paths. Huge amounts of money started to change hands -- Boardwalk + hotel and Railroad + travel become thousands of dollars. Anyway, I don't remember who won, but it was a really exciting game.  Here is the actual image that was printed. I think there might be a typo in there, but ah well. Also one of the rents had to change because I didn't anticipate you can't divide 5 dollars in half in Monopoly. credburn fucked around with this message at 02:07 on May 7, 2023 |

I saw there are two different KISS Monopoly games out there. An official Monopoly version and a clone monopoly version. I don't know why I'm both surprised and not surprised by that when it comes to KISS merchandising. edit: I like to think the reason they didn't put Uncle Pennybags in KISS makeup on the box art of the official version is that KISS would sue them.
