MONOPOLY: Innocent board game or GAME OF DEATH?

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

Honestly, I go with GAME OF DEATH. Last time I played, I ended up with a head injury involving my head getting slammed into a concrete basement floor. My sister also recieved multiple injuries as a result of slamming my head into a basement floor. My family gets like this this guy's family. I love he has one of the funniest blogs around. He's around my age and from NJ, so I relate.

The Things People Argue About While Playing Monopoly
Ever see those Milton Bradley commercials that suggest family game nights to help bring the homestead closer together? Parents, got a rebellious teenage son who insists on wearing black nail polish out food shopping and who likes to take derogatory pictures in front of churches? Play Boggle with him! Problem solved!

Seriously though, I've gone deep into the trenches of these family game nights while I was growing up. I'm the last of seven kids, and even though most of them had moved out of the house when I was still really young, they'd always be back whenever one of our birthdays or a holiday came up. These gatherings were pretty pedestrian in the early goings...buncha hungry Italians sitting around stuffing their faces till they couldn't move for four hours. But these little events usually went for six hours. That left two unaccounted for. So what better way to fill the time than a fun, old-fashioned and totally friendly and cherubic game of Monopoly?!


Ah! Monopoly! From my point of view, the greatest board game of all time. At least you knew the rules in Monopoly. Scrabble seems like a good time up until someone starts pulling ridiculous words starring the letters 'Q' and 'Z' which everyone in the world knows doesn't exist...everyone except the opposing player and their suspicious dictionary from Hell. No, Monopoly was where its at. Straightforward rulebook, lots of fake money, and free parking! What could go wrong? Unfortunately...everything...could go wrong. So with that, I proudly present to you: The Things People Argue About While Playing Monopoly!"

5. Not as bad as our games of Risk.

There are still discussions of old broken alliances, sneak attacks, and knocking out someone. Now, this is over 20 years ago.

6. Risk and Axis&Allies will do that
