    It was one of my favorite games as a kid. We played for hours on end and some games went on for days. I still remember PARK PLACE as prime real estate & BALTIC as Cheapo. It wouldn't be a bad game for seniors here in assisted living to play.

    Do not pass Go. Do not collect $200.

    So exactly what do the rules say about landing on Free Parking? Are you really supposed to put all that money for fines in the middle as a reward?

    I was in CVS the other day and saw a Monopoly Deal card game that said "Play In 15 Minutes!" I cracked up. Gone are the "Just shoot me" days of abuse at the hand of Parker Brothers. Thank you, Hasbro.

    Same here; I've always hated board games and I still do. My husband and kids all love games; he has a group of friends that have been meeting up to play Risk a few times a year for over 40 years. He also plays dominoes every weekend with a group at his sister's house. (No Monopoly, though. :D) I'd rather read a book.

    I think they play a few different games and they play for money. It gets quite cut-throat, lol. I'm not interested enough to ask what games they play; I just want a report on how much money he lost. HAHA
