Ahhh yes Monopoly has that reputation for being that game the lasts forever and some say “I never finish a game.” And all this is true, it does take a while to get through a full game of Monopoly but its the most rewarding feeling when you win and you bankrupt everyone and you’re the richest! (HAHA EVIL LAUGH) lol I have a solution for those of you who can’t stand how long a game of Monopoly , Monopoly deal!
This one isn’t like Uno. Not too many people know how to play this game!
The object of the game is to acquire 3 full sets of properties. It sounds easy when you think about tradition monopoly but its a lot harder in this card game adaptation. In Monopoly Deal you have 3 different types of cards, Properties, Action cards and money cards. Action cards allow you to do a number of different things from drawing more cards, charging someone money or stopping people from stealing your properties and of course stealing others properties, the best card of all! lol In this game you build up your bankroll by setting money down on your board, this helps to protect your properties from being taken when people charge you rent. If people charge you over the amount of money that your bankroll has then you have to pay with properties. Thats pretty much it, with the charging of rent and use action cards, the game gets pretty hectic sometimes, but all in good fun!
Give this game a try!
Buy a deck and some beer and have yourself a great night at the corner of Park Place and Boardwalk!
