  • Funny story: years ago I was on a trip with family that wasn't going so well because of bad weather and my sister buys a copy of Monopoly to pass the time. So unboxing that fresh new copy of Monopoly I got to read the rules for the first time and realized a few things:

    Most people play the game incorrectly.
    The game isn't actually all that long.
    Some newer copies of the game include a "speed die" that expedites the whole "roll to move" aspect.
    It's actually a pretty okayish game.

      That's right. The reason Monopoly has such a bad reputation of taking so long is precisely because people don't play it correctly. The 2 common house rules that "ruin" the game is money on free parking (I never did this), and skipping auctions if someone doesn't want to buy a property (my family didn't do auctions, cause my sis and I didn't really know what those were).
      I haven't played Monopoly for maybe 20 years. I think I would like to play it "properly", for the first time. But I would use the short rules, where game ends when only one player goes bankrupt.

  • Games I'm thinking of bringing:
    -Arcs. A genre-defying space game. A very confrontational and "mean" game, looks like lots of fun!
    -Catan, with the Atlantis variant added. Various hexes will slowly flood, came can end early if enough hexes go under water.
    -Monopoly: Yes, I want to play this non-ironically. I haven't touched this for maybe 20+ years. Looking forward to playing it "properly". We didn't do auctions when I was a kid.

    Any of these sound interesting?

      Good to hear you are interested @Nicky.
      I've practiced teaching the game to my sister, twice. My 2nd attempt was 35 minutes... maybe I can get it below 30 minutes.
      Or perhaps I should just link this how to play vid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cXSEi7TCF44. You can start at 2:44, and stop at 27:25.
