Shirley Crabtree posted:the biggest lol is anyone who plays as the loving thimble you just know theyre gonna be a cautious cathy and easy pickings I was the dude on a horse but those fuckers retired it  How the gently caress did they keep such beloved and always-chosen pieces such as an iron and a thimble but retired the horseman who looked like he was ready to charge into battle or something

Most competitive American board games are about elimination and are boring and suck. Most EU style games are well thought out and have an event that triggers the game and some way to tell who won, or came in which place. Monopoly is trash. Go play something more fun instead like Pandemic, or Flash Point, or 7 Wonders.

Monopoly is a great game if you treat it as an exercise in seeing who is the best at cheating at board games. It's best played with three cheaters competing against each other, and one idiot sap who thinks monopoly is a good game and doesn't cheat. Also the cannon is the most powerful piece

This is actually correct and I try to play this way, but it just devolves into a poo poo fest. *lands on Boardwalk* "I bid $1 for Boardwalk" Cha-Ching So now everything is super cheap, but the cost of rent is the same so it just prolongs the suffering. Always pick the car though. What kind of bitch mode beta wants to be a thimble?

also pandemic's a great game if you're the kind of person who enjoys endlessly discussing how to split the check at a restaurant where like two people actually brought cash and the other two brought cards and oh but we don't want to make too much work for the server by splitting it all four ways and holy poo poo gently caress off why does this have to be so loving complicated

The best monopoly rule is anytime you have to give money to the bank, you instead put it in the middle and if you land on free parking you get all the monies in the middle. It's like a lottery every time around the board!

Buy 4 houses on all your properties, never upgrade to hotels. Once all the houses are used up, people get mad and whine and the game likely ends soon... Construction Monopoly: Yous got a problem with that? Pandemic is fun if you treat it kind of like Space Alert and use a very short timer for every person's turn. Panic! Shouting! Enevitable violence over the few remaining pizza slices! A realistic simulation.

we play monopoly with american accurate rules, such as the most attractive player gets four times the starting money and can reroll dice any time they want, while any brown minority player only gets half the money and any dice roll sends them directly to jail

Look at all these scrubs who think Boardwalk is the best property. If you put money in the middle for Free Parking or don't play with the speed die you should just loving kill yourself.

Well DUH other players auction it up, but it makes no sense to NEVER auction if you have the cash in most cases, especially if you know how much cash they have. If you auction it you at least have a chance to get it lower than sticker price, especially if you already have a cash advantage. Its still dumb as hell though because it just makes the game take longer. Why couldn't something like Risk become as popular as Monopoly. Both are lovely but at least Risk doesn't have all the stupid revisionist cultural bullshit.

Monopoly is loving boring because you just buy everything you land on until you run out of money, and then hope the dice rolls go in your favour. There's no skill or strategy involved whatsoever.

I grew up on the free parking jackpot rule and no auctioning. I also once played with someone who claimed you earned $500 if you rolled snake eyes. I like Scrabble. Edit: Also yeah, it really shouldn't be that relevant whether you auction or not because it's correct to buy everything you land on.
