Sunday afternoon! MONOPOLY GAME

So this Sunday afternoon me Corban, Nolan, and Daddy played a very stressful monopoly game!  It was really fun. We made a rule to help the game go faster; if you land on a property you have the option to buy all of the properties in the same color, and you can buy just that one you landed on or all of them, and other people can buy other properties of that same color if not already owned. Ok so Nolan owned all of the railroads (which didn't prophet him much) and corban owned the whole strip of properties leading up to "free parking", and I owned all of the properties leading from "go to jail" and "Go" and Daddy owned nothing. We also have the rule that anything you buy goes into the pot in the middle of the board and if anyone lands on "free parking" they get all of the money in the pot instead of the bank, and the pot also starts out with $50. it was intense and Daddy and Nolan became bankrupt so it was down to me and Corban (it usually does b/c we actually take the game 'semi-seriously' and Callie has vowed to never play monopoly again b/c of the great battle of cousin monopoly that happened like 6 years ago) So me and corban were playing and I have a great tendency to land on "free parking" A LOT!!!!! so overall at the end of the game I had landed on free parking 9 times (all HUGE buckets of money) and corban only 2 times and one was only a 50 dollar bill 😆. Ok more "Hall Rules" I'll mention. ok so if you land on your own property you get $1. If you get doubles you get to go again. you can get out of jail for free if you roll doubles but you only have three turns to do so. if you land right on "GO" you get $300. You can donate to other people to keep them alive (if you wish for this devil game to last longer😂😈) If someone doesn't have enough money you can ask for properties instead. And there are probably a lot more but yeah those are the basics.

We each had like $4,000 dollars just in 500’s so that pic is of Corban throwing the $500 dollars in the air to show that! 
I had just landed on one of corbans properties (as you can tell)  he was very happy in that pic!

Corban and I were the only ones still standing and we invested and finally, all of the properties were all covered in hotels and we were down to the final countdown! It was so scary but each round was mostly the same and getting a little boring. So me and Corban agreed that nobody would get to own any properties but if you landed on one you had to pay the pot at full price as if it still had a hotel on it. So that was SCARY but if you landed on “free parking” then you would be able to get the money. We eventually each forfeited b/c the game had lasted like 4 to 5 hours and we both ‘tied’ (I had more money :) so technically I won, but Corban had more properties so…) So that was our very intense, scary but fun, monopoly game

  1. that sounds pretty intense. You can actually blame my neighbor Addie or well she was my neighbor she got us into monopoly and taught us a lot of those crazy rules, for Callies now "hatred" for monopoly. Lets play monopoly this weekend together!
