Monopoly By Brian63 on Nov 06, 2007 - Updated Oct 15, 2011

I am not a game person. My wife is and she loves to play games and can for hours on end. I cannot. I don't care for them and I get bored easily with them. EXCEPT for the game of Monopoly. And honestly my wife doesn't like to play with me very often because I AM THE KING.

Looking through our games, we have three different versions of Monopoly. Actually four because one set is for our Nintendo Game cube. We have traditional, Disney and a Simpsons version. It doesn't matter which version we play. I am the king. I hate to repeat myself but it's true. I love this game. I enjoy buying an entire row of property, put as many houses and hotels on the property that I can and suck out the money from the other players. I am hard core and mean when it comes to Monopoly. Normally, I am quite nice, but not with this game.

The idea of the game, for those who have never played, is that you make money from going around the board and landing on certain spots. You can purchase properties and when you own them all for that color then you can buy houses so when people land on something you own they have to pay rent to you. When yo have a house the rent goes up. When you own all of the properties the rent is super high and when you buy hotels your rent it outrageous. It is great fun!

I allow my wife to be the banker, and she doesn't know that I know, but she cheats. She takes more money than she is supposed to when giving herself change. I don't mind because it allows the game to keep going!
