Have you played Monopoly?

[catbus]

Answer based on whether you've ever played, even if it was just once and you didn't finish the game.

[catbus]

I've never played it and did not own it. I had the opportunity as a kid, but never chose it as the game I wanted to play if, for example, I was at a friend's house.
But I was an odd kid and loved playing Trivial Pursuit.
I do like strategy games as an adult, but I think now Monopoly would be too simplistic.

We played it as a family at Christmas. It was a great time. The large pitchers of Sangria probably encouraged the fun.

[cjeanette]

Yes. My kids and H actually played it last night. I lack the patience for that sort of nonsense with a 4 year old so I cooked dinner instead.

No.

MH bought me a game set a few years ago, but we still haven't played it.

Does Monopoly at McDonald's count? My guess is no. lol

Oh yeah, I've played that. ;D

Monopoly was a staple growing up. I plan to do the same thing.

We also played cards and trivial pursuit regularly.

[blueshirt2003]

Yea!

I loved playing Monopoly as a kid. I can't wait until are kids are old enough to be able to play.

I'm not sure I would have the patience to play with a 4-year old.

They do make Junior Monopoly which is a little simpler.

I LOVE Monopoly, but no one will play with me anymore. I get a little... competitive. I also won't take stupid trades so people seem t to think I don't play nicely. I dislike the iPhone version so I don't really get my "Monopoly fix" very often.

My H & I have played it with each other within the last year. I love monopoly.

[catbus]

Well, now I wonder if I should try it.
The only game we've played since having a baby is Cards Against Humanity.

Which won't be OK to play around the kid in another year or so... (But seriously, I think we'll have to hide that game between ages 2 and 17 or so.)

The WORST was playing with someone who won't negotiate trades. I am shaking my fist at my cousin as I type this!

My H and I played it recently, too. We decided not to play again so that our marriage wouldn't suffer. lol.

Haha. That's pretty much how it went down with us, too. We need a neutral 3rd player in the future.

This is H. He is ruthless.

Oh, this is us with Munchkin. It needs at least three players. The thing is, the other players can gang up to prevent someone from winning. I am way too competitive and get so mad when H jumps in to drag me down. (Kidding, mostly.)

We have like four versions of it, including a copy I picked up living in England (the different property names blew my mind - what do you mean it's not Boardwalk??) and the electronic banking version.

I love Monopoly, always have. I was an only child, so I would even play by myself as a kid, creating an imaginary player to play against (that sounds kind of sad, doesn't it?).

H and I can't play one on one, we're both too competitive. We need others to buffer our crazy. It's the only thing that's ever caused us to really fight.

This is my husband. I refuse to play with him or his family because they all become crazily competitive at Monopoly.

For the same reason, he refuses to play scrabble with me.

However, we have other games that we enjoy playing together. .

[biscoffcookies]

Yes. I have also played the Nintendo version of Monopoly, which is awesome because there is no pesky having to count out money. Also, the pieces do fun little jigs as they move.

[cjeanette]

We used to have monopoly for the Wii. That was so much fun.

[definitelyO]

my cousin and I would have Monopoly marathons growing up. one of our favorite games!

[curbsideprophet]

Of course
