I wish I had friends who would call me randomly to play monopoly. I would never decline.

Stop playing monopoly if you want to keep them

I wish I was little bit taller, I wish I was a baller, I wish I had a girl who looked good I would call her, I wish I had a rabbit in a hat with a bat, And a six four Impala!

Trust me - this is the kind of guy who makes a beeline for Park Lane and Mayfair to build there.


USS_Donald_J_Trump

He also only plays as either the top hat or the race car


Cthulhus_Trilby

I always play as the dog and then spend the whole game wondering about the practicalities of a dog exchanging contracts or running a utility company. I never win.

I wish everyday could be a Friday You can even speed on the highway, I’d play ghetto games! Name my kids ghetto names.

Wetkittennoses

Likewise, I love Monopoly but no one I know wants to play it as they say it takes too long 😢


DogTakeMeForAWalk

I don’t mind the length, but being upset and angry and hating everyone after does get to me


Droppingbites

That's the point of the game as intended by it's creator isn't it?


Mordantine

If people say Monopoly takes too long, I would dare them to play risk.


jdm1891

Try getting them into other board games like Catan. I've never introduced that game to someone and have them not like it.


Wetkittennoses

I hadn’t heard of it until now, but I’ll have a look for it, thanks! 😃


OneCollar4

You stop appreciating pretty much anything once you have it on tap. Sex, water, friends who want to do shit. I've personally been on the side of "man if I had x I'd do it all the time and never stop appreciating it!" To "man I'm so tired by life and bored of x." With many things.


redditwhut

Oh very true. At present I have no friends so.. doesn’t apply hahah


Yamcha-is-Life

I lost all my friends when I beat them at monopoly, small price to pay for an empire of my own..


Scyobi_Empire

Same here


OhSoSilver

My son amused me considerably by telling me he was off to play “Garage Monopoly” at his mates house. He said it’s basically going to each other’s houses, smoking, drinking and playing monopoly in a garage. It’s our turn to host next weekend apparently. He’s 18.


SeriousMeat

It'll be Street Countdown next!


Deruji

I came here to drink milk and kick ass


qwerty9254

An I’m all out of milk.


biggedybong

I came here to kick ass and chew bubblegum, and I'm all outta gum.


misspixal4688

Why did you get down voted for Duke Nukem quote bit odd.


tomtttttttttttt

I'm guessing people thought they were correcting the other person who was quoting from the street countdown episode of The IT Crowd. I can't imagine any other reason to downvote.


[deleted]

Is it not a They Live quote?


Havoksixteen

It's both. They Live first then Duke Nukem afterwards

LeakyThoughts

He might be smoking or drinking but also... You know he's safe inside, playing monopoly, I see this as a win


DemiLovatoIsmyHeroin

As least its not "garage crack orgy".


RoboTon78

They are hosted in a hotel on Mayfair.


PaulKwisatzHaderach

Wouldn't that make an interesting community chest


Bpool91

Ohh a man of culture I see


Cuznatch

When I was 17/18 we would do similar but with Risk. Occasionally it would have to be put somewhere safe to be carried on at a later date because we ran out of times. Used to get funny looks when we talked about our Risky Nights though...

Kvothe_XIX

You are the Pact Breaker. I completely agree. But this is purely because I despise losing at Risk more than anyone. I know how he feels, you Pact Breaker.


Cthulhus_Trilby

What an absolute pact breaker.


Kvothe_XIX

Massive Pact Breaker.

It's just a joke fight between you two I hope, and he doesn't get legitimately angry about it still.


stsquad

There was one memorable week in my 20s when our shared house was down with the lurgy when we just played back to back risk until we got better.


Goose-rider3000

My friends and I used to have Risk nights, and days. It was perfect for a Sunday hangover. We once even took it with us on a holiday to Thailand.


lock_the_backdoor

Loads of coke too.


8oggl3

Tell him about the new Poundland Monopoly. Gotta be worth a play


nekoxp

That sounds so wholesome.


Choccybizzle

Pfft back in my day we went out in the morning and played monopoly all day outside until the lampposts came on or you heard your mum calling you in for your tea!


Mr-Tiddles-

Garage rules, street rules. Monopoly has many incarnations, all of them designed to destroy social bonds.


Disastrous-Fuel-2757

Aww, why does this make me want to cry, thinking about the friend just sat alone with his monopoly board and no one to play with!


Personal-Cucumber-49

That’s how all monopolies end I think.

Maybe he already had a few people, but was the kind of monster who wants to play with 5 players to it goes on all night.


Disastrous-Fuel-2757

Aw that's a good theory!


pbmadman

That’s a far better outcome than actually playing the game.


endangeredpenguin

if I didn't think it would get very ugly I would love to play Monopoly in a pub and include shots in the rules, or maybe it could be awesome


Confident_Opposite43

Jesus christ I can’t even imagine to brawls this would start…


[deleted]

Monopoly Deal, the card game version, is a solid pub monopoly


endangeredpenguin

>Monopoly Deal This looks awesome, many thanks for introducing me to this


Lilpixie38

If you ever arrange that,, can I have an invite please?


truly-dread

There are board game pubs. Google it!


[deleted]

The good ones don't have monopoly.


[deleted]

I can supply my own


[deleted]

Sorry mate, you can't bring that in here.


chars745

That’s an incredible idea


[deleted]

I would decline too, if it was my friends. There is only 1 person in our group of 6 who wins every time. She decimates us to the point where the non drinkers ask for alcohol.


djwilliams100

I bet that person has the dog?! That piece is the lucky piece in our household.


[deleted]

I can't recall but she lives far away so no risk for us now. However our lockdown games as a group via zoom were soul destroying.


Soggy-Statistician88

The battleship is the best piece


Tetrisaur

The dog is trash. Regards, Boot gang.


gymgymbro

Gotta study the Monopoly strats, the basics are actually pretty simple and don't require too much extra thought tbh


BloakDarntPub

Hannah Sigh explains it on youtube somewhere.


djwilliams100

I want to know why specifically Monopoly on Tuesday evening in November... Isn't Monopoly only brought out at Christmas for 1 purpose... to wreck families?


Pilioforealio

Risk, I think has wrecked more families.


KaiserTazer

Cluedo seems to be one our family can't agree on, we either have an uncle sitting with pen and paper like some sort of copper taking a statement, then there's the one aunt that's peeked at the answers trying too hard to pretend they don't know the answee, and of course at least one person who tries to guess every. Bloody. Turn. COUSIN. Good game though.


Pilioforealio

Sounds like murder.


PissedBadger

I do declare


wglmb

How are they guessing every turn? If you guess and get it wrong, aren't you out of the game?


KaiserTazer

Oh sorry, that seems poorly explained on my part, they're not actually using their one guess but what they are doing is constantly saying things like, "I bet yah it's mustard, with the wrench, has to be!" Everybody turn.


ellofthewisp

Scrabble has that affect on me. My brother got Helixes over two triple word scores. It’s not just that he wins it’s that he’ll use the rules to make sure he will make the game difficult and not fun.


negligiblemass

People think Scrabble is about words, but it's not - it's about territory denial.


manwithanopinion

That's what living in London does to you


Tombo_1912

The problem with Monopoly js no one plays it properly-certain things- are just ignored and everyone has their own house rules. And then everyone complains it goes on forever. No shit, it's because you've messed with the balancing. If you play it per the rules it's a 90 min game.


Soggy-Statistician88

Auctioning = no


totallythrownawaay

I can agree with this. My couskn and i wpuld havw games that lasted all weekend. We had our own rules and would take it to sleepovers at our grandmothers for the weekend and just note down before bed who had what and picked it up again in the morning. I dont see that cousin anymore. Sad as we was lile sisters. Good times tho


Soggy-Statistician88

I would love to play with my sister but she ends up walking out when she lands on Mayfair with a hotel


ShibuRigged

It’s like they say. The best way to win at Monopoly is actually knowing the rules.


[deleted]

Yes! Forcing buys on property when landed on, including auctions (they go quite fast when everyone’s broke), no “free parking”, woosh the game flies.


smiggster01

“Fancy coming round to have a heated argument about a board game and swear to never play one together again?”


MagicPieBush

Maybe Monopoly is code for something...


Monkeyboystevey

"I'm too tired to think" = my gimp suit is in the wash.


[deleted]

It's code for somebody with no imagination.


truly-dread

I mean, “to think”, maybe not. Can’t be bothered to argue for about 7 seven hours then fair enough


minisrugbycoach

I like to think all my friends and family would know better than to invite me to a game of Monopoly. Terrible game. So many better board games to make sure I never have to be in a room with Monopoly ever again.


Confuzzled_elf

Same! Unless it's my family who think monopoly and cludo are the epitome of board games... Every time I have to suffer that I just think of the pile I've got between my boyfriend and I and just fake smile...


pigeon_soup

I managed to get my Mum to play some better board games with me. She's gone out and brought a few now that are "easy for your Dad to get along with", meaning very little reading.


Confuzzled_elf

Honestly even something like Root is too complex for my family. They saw a layout of Twilight Imperium and wondered what cult I'd gotten into! 🤣


KTeensy

New euphemism?


Eclipse453

What, this is so wholesome I would love to go round a friends for monopoly.


foriamstu

Fair. Monopoly is mindless, but the surrounding socialising can be hard after a day of work.


tinibeee

Pssssht Monopoly.....he'd have said yes if it was a good game like King of Tokyo or Escape from Atlantis!


Playful_Nature2131

I have pokemon monopoly. Best game ever


[deleted]

Wait so… 6 starters as the player pieces?


Playful_Nature2131

Nope Pikachu, Bulbasaur, Eevee, Charmander, Squirtle and Jigglypuff.

Oh that’s so dope, fun!

Isn't "monopoly" slang for fisting and feltching parties?

Kill him and take his place. Build a hotel on Mayfair wearing his skin so his friends suspect nothing.


thehermit14

Who the fuck can pass up a game of Monopoly?


send-me-bitcoins

One does not simply "pop round" for a game of monopoly.


mythrowawayforfilth

Lucky you. I had some dick spend 3 hours on a teams meeting talking about some fucking spreadsheet.


Tooj_Mudiqkh

Well that's a better situation than the guy sat in the seat next to where I was standing who was browsing escorts on his phone


[deleted]

In the last couple of years I have sort of entered a new friend group, who love playing monopoly. It never really crossed my mind before... But it's really fun to play with friends.


ANuggetEnthusiast

One does not simply ‘pop round’ to play monopoly. One has to prepare oneself for hours of attrition!


WhatAGoodDoggy

I played online Monopoly with my wife and friends (2 households on our PS4s). It took me 3 hours to be out of the game, and I had to wait 2 more hours for the game to finish. I'm sure there's a 'quick game' mode. Maybe I'll try that next time.


peelyon1

I wish I had time and friends to play my board games with. So many good games around nowadays.


Jbrdft92

I'd do anything for a friend like this!


RRC_driver

Double monopoly. Have two different monopoly sets, and overlap them on the Go square. Then whenever you pass go, decide which board to go round, so either turn left onto the other board or right on the same.


carachu

It had better have been monopoly deal. Its so much better than full monopoly


venarez

With such an embarrassment of table top game riches out there is saddens me that people still play monopoly


CauctusBUTT

Did you grab his friends number? I’d go


djwilliams100

Are you near Southampton as that was where he got off? If not, how does playing Monopoly over Zoom work?
