        The game, I mean. Random, but I always have a strong preference so I wondered if anyone else does as well.

          Top hat. But, as a child, my preference was battleship. 😀

          A very critical rule to obey is the rule on Free Parking: nothing happens.

          Many house rules play where landing on Free Parking is effectively winning the lottery, the proceeds having been built through various means. Just when someone is about to go bankrupt, they win Free Parking, and our 90 minute game just went to 3 hours.

              I’m an iron too. I like it cause it has the largest foot surface area. I don’t know why that’s a reason, but that’s the preference.

              That explains the “Preferred Habitat Theory”… sorry i was just looking through fixed income :”> “

                @bobbarkerplaysplinko Lottery free parking also means money never leaves the system back to the bank!

                I also love the game. It is a shame I don’t have as much time as before to play it.

                  Boot all the way, mainly because no one else liked it. And I can put it on my foot just before I kick everyone else’s ass!

                  By the way, the game is far better when one actually plays by the rules.

                  I also play by the rules. Especially not being able to build without having a full set…after people start building the game tends to end quickly…

                  I find Monopoly to be incredibly dull but racecar all the way…

                    This is making the rounds on the interwebs…

                      I always play auction-off. That’s an art form in itself, and teaches you the importance of cash-flow…
