    Default MAYFAIR GET

    When was the last time you actually sat down and played a board game? I think they are so much fun! I was at a friends house for her birthday yesterday, and I spotted Monopoly and wouldn't rest until we all played it. Of course there was a fight over who was the dog, isn't there always? I ended up being the wheel barrow, though

    I have to say I have never laughed so much. Whenever anyone would land on one of my properties I would scream it, for some reason I couldn't get it out of my head that Strand wasn't a street, it was just Strand but when anyone landed on it I couldn't help yelling 'STRAND STREET'

    If you play Monopoly, apart from the obvious MAYFAIR, what sets of houses do you always aim for? I always seem to go for the red and pink sets, Pall Mall, Trafalgar street, STRAND STREET etc.


    I had Trafalgar street and STRAND STREET but my friend had Fleet Street, I pleaded and pleaded She wanted £500 for it so I told her to bugger off.

    So are you good at Monopoly or any other board game? Im rubbish, games like that and Frustration get me so worked up, I end up cheating or, if I lose, accuse everyone of cheating. I'm a terrible sore loser.

    I can tell you're angry on account of your laser eyes.

    Anyways, I'm usually quite good at boardgames primarily because I have an unhealthy obsession with numbers and patterns, so I can calculate pretty quickly in my head the optimum moves and likelihood of certain events. This is great for stuff like Monopoly since each part of the board has a certain chance that a player will land on it each turn (the reds, oranges and light blues are the most likely fyi). I utterly suck by comparison at anything that relies solely on tactics, such as chess.

    Does having Sharingan make you any better at the game?

    I always pick the car in normal Monopoly. But I have Austalian Monopoly now, so I use the laptop.
    Last time I played it was New Years Eve and I got whipped by my girlfriend. It was hilarious. I went to jail 6 times in a row.

    They see me rolling. They hating, patrolling.

    I may not have any idea on how to play monopoly but I can destroy you with my combo moves of double word and happy triple letter scores

    Happy Birthday to Me

    I like chess, but the rest of the world kicks my ass at it.

    p.s. any and all forms of Monopoly are FABBY.

    Board games are great because you can start chucking the pieces at one another once the entire thing falls into shambles and chaos.

    I have never played monopoly, but the Danish version, Matador, is also very fun, although I think it's slightly different from Monopoly. It's very time consuming, though, so you basically have to put off an entire afternoon to play the game.

    Trivial Pursuit is also always a lot of fun, and is probably the board game I've played the most in my life. There's nothing like a game that mocks your lack of intelligence.

    O should mention the funniest boardgame I ever played was Atmosfear (called Nightmare in other countries). Me and my friend thought the Gatekeeper was the hammiest, unintentionally hilarious guy ever, and the game descended into chaos due to the sheer complexity of the rules.

    I played a game of Monopoly a couple of weeks ago with some friends. I had terrible luck on the first couple of circuits and ended up with only five properties, so I didn't last very long. I love playing board games though, especially in a big group. Risk and Scrabble are my favourites, but I'll play just about anything.

    I once had a monopoly set that was edible. Needless to say, we only played one game.

    It tasted pretty bad.

    There's no joke here. We actually ate it.
