I love Monopoly (Board game thread)
« on: December 02, 2012, 11:55:39 AM »



Jonesing to play some monopoly right now for some reason  :'(


Used to play the actual board game and the NES game so much when I was a kid. I never learnt to play RISK or Cluedo and other board games  but heard it's fun. Anyone here play boardgames weekly/monthly? Used to have a regular D&D game and Monopoly game way back.

I've never liked Monopoly. I mean, it's fun, but there are so many better board games out there.

Educate me Himumumu. Do you play RISK? Is it as fun as people say? Is there a PC game for it? Is monopoly on steam good? So many questions :'(

Its all about the game of life, I made some fucked up rules for that game.

But nowadays I love to play Catan

Monopoly is too easy if you ask me.

Do you play Monopoly the right way, where unowned properties get auctioned if you land on them and decline to buy them?

Yes I'm not a heathen.

I hated going to other peoples places when they would have house rules or some other non-legit crap going on

The only board game that ever consumed me was Scrabble. I was so desperate for people to play with (after I moved the first time), that I joined a local club in Cleveland. That was the oddest collection of people i have ever met in my life.

Playing online is just not the same.


I never liked Monopoly. The endgame took too long or you had bankers that were constantly cheating. Not to mention all the bizarre house rules people made with FREE PARKING, that turned the game into a lottery.

Wait you mean people don't play Monopoly this way?

:ohhh
Apparently so, wow. Yes that's the only way to play Monopoly.

Damn that picture makes me laugh.

People add all sorts of bullshit, cheating bankers (see above) and it's common to see people forgo the auction clause. that pic makes me laugh too lol

No, I worked in a store where 1/2 of our retail space was devoted to board games, I've just played way better board games than fucking monopoly.  It's awful.  I'm not saying you're awful for liking it, just that you haven't played better shit.

I can see how D&D-themed Monopoly might be way better than regular Monopoly.

My wife won't allow me to play. She says umm a bad winner. In the last rolls of the game when I see someone inevitably land on my massive collection of properties I can't help but laugh uncontrollably. I'm a dick. I'm not really into board games though so maybe that's why. I always secretly hate it when a group I am with decides to play one.

Except risk.  I do legitimately enjoy risk. But I can't stand that people make up bullshit rules because they suck at the fucking game.

I honestly havent and want to try risk, is there digital versions I could play? (kinda weird inviting my particular group of friends over for a boardgame)

Beating someone at their own game is a sweet nectar that requires a gutlaugh, feel no shame brother.
