monops

I played "monops" (monopoly in other words) for I think the 4th or 5th time in my life last night. Every game I have ever played has involved Steve Burgess and his rules, which make the game more exciting I'm told. I can't imagine what monops would be like without those rules and without Steve. I managed to get suckered into making a deal last night which involved a straight swap for some property plus $1000 for me. I was like, 'yeah ok I'll do that cos I have heaps of stuff and you have none.' Unfortunately for me, Chris Boon was shafting me from the get go, and it was all part of his grand scheme to take me out of the game.

Being fairly new to monops, I am still getting to grips with how it all works and what decisions are wise and unwise. Normally I find that monopoly has a bit of a social stigma in certain parts of society, but I think that is due to people being lame and taking it too seriously when they start losing. I think that when I get more familiar with monops and scheming and dealing, I'll be a monops force to be reckoned with. So watch this space...

Dane Cook has a good skit about monopoly, you should check it out on youtube.
