    Had to use the play money

    You use play money? you cheapskate............... :rolleyes: Me the wife and the bairns attempted monopoly last weekend, there was nearly a fight before we had even got round the board once. What with the youngest randomly moving pieces, the wife managing to aquire properties magically and the eldest she was hyper. Really also didn't like the fast play version.........

    We played Monopoly when I was a kid until the first time I beat my dad, after which we were never allowed to play it again. Before I was married, myself and a few friends used to play it on Christmas Day each year with much drinking. Don't think we ever finished a game.

    Every man can tell how many goats or sheep he possesses, but not how many friends.

      once again. What're everyone's plans? Here in Canada, it is another long weekend with Monday being Thanksgiving day. I'll be spending another great weekend with family at the cottage where we'll be having our annual Thanksgiving Beach Bonfire on Saturday, another fabulous Thanskgiving BACON Covered Turkey dinner on Sunday and hopefully everyone will be able to wake up on Monday and safely return home. :cool: Wishing everyone a great weekend. :)

      Season opener for the Hawks tonight, home opener tomorrow. I'm still very sick, but have to attend my acting workshop tomorrow and a class Sunday night. I think I may have to attend some engagement celebration dinners, too.

          Well actually with 9, Monopoly becomes very much a strategy game. Think partnerships that only last for one or two rolls of the dice. :)

          Well, maybe... But not compared to something like Catan, Dominion, Puerto Rico, etc... Though I've been getting some of them hooked on The Resistance, which is kind of like werewolf/mafia :)

            I do but it took a while to convince the wife that we wouldn't be attacked by a slithering mass of rattle snakes, get sting by scorpions or get carried away by the river. :-)

                    I can think of other ways of bonding with my wife, but that looks like an interesting one to say the least. I must admit that I do like events such as this where time taken to complete is not a consideration. Rather that you have participated and completed the event. Best of luck to both of you.

                        Mom gave me a recipe once which was basically a huge hamburger, with bacon woven on top. When it's cooked, it looked like a giant turtle. The only reason I never made it was what do you do with the couple pounds of cooked hamburger when you're done eating the bacon.

                              It’s not a Canada goose, it’s an US goose visiting for the season. Nice hospitality!

                                          Portishead is playing tonight in Montreal, it's an outside show, the weather will be fantastic. After that, nothing planned for 3 days; except doing a bit of cleaning ...
