fun for the whole family for my family is yelling over the game of Risk
over9000dads:
Long Island Iced Tea, dude.
Oh god. With us, it's Monopoly.
The amount of mistrust in this family..
theluminoleffect:
I don't like monopoly as much
over9000dads:
We have to switch the banker after every round, or get a third party to do it
If people need to use the bathroom, they grab their cards and take them with them.
theluminoleffect:
...what
over9000dads:
My mom refuses to trade with my dad before the game even starts.
gentlejester@gmail.com:
fffff
theluminoleffect:
allison why is your family so intense
gentlejester@gmail.com:
That sounds really entertaining
over9000dads:
And the favorite trick is to say "I own that" even if no one does or if it belongs to someone else.
So it's kind of this mental challenge.
gentlejester@gmail.com:
I would love to watch your family play a board game XD
over9000dads:
And you try to psych each other out
starlithunter:
Squee refuses to play Monopoly with me. XD I always win and my dad gets super competitive. But we do have family Karaoke Revolution games. XD
bookworm1208:
XD
over9000dads:
Our extended family refuses to play by us because each branch of the family has its own set of rules.
gentlejester@gmail.com:
lol
over9000dads:
And our rules are called "Cutthroat Monopoly"
bookworm1208:
XDDD
how do your rules go?
over9000dads:
One time my dad wrote into a monopoly ethics board about a contested rule between him and my mom to ask who was right
The board wrote back and said "We would never play with either of you"
bookworm1208:
XDDDD
a sick sight:
LOL
starlithunter:
Pffffft. That's awesome.
over9000dads:
Well, it's like some people put $500 in the middle every time someone lands on Free Parking, and some give $400 instead of $200 if you land directly on Go. We don't do that.
But we carry grudges left over from previous games.
bookworm1208:
XD
o/
over9000dads:
And we'll do "Double Hotels"
bookworm1208:
oh god.
starlithunter:
Man, I'd kill everyone if we did that. XD
over9000dads:
And start betting for real stuff just to stay in the game
bookworm1208:
that sounds awful.
over9000dads:
And buy houses from one another if there's no more houses left.
theluminoleffect:
what the shit allison
over9000dads:
The worst thing is where you put four houses on every property but refuse to upgrade to hotels, so NO ONE ELSe can build on their own property
bookworm1208:
XDD
starlithunter:
That's a brilliant strategy.
bookworm1208:
god. i don't want to play with your family.
i'd LOVE to watch, but.
adodarhoh:
okay. so apparently, i'm "ice witch holly." >)
over9000dads:
And everyone has their own favorite property and people get PISSED if you take what they consider "theirs" before even landing on it
Is that so, Holly?
adodarhoh:
apparently.
bookworm1208:
why? XD
a sick sight:
i like playing intense clue
over9000dads:
This one time, my little brother won on the fucking utilities.
theluminoleffect:
Oh, I know how that last part is allison
adodarhoh:
because i was a bitch to my ex boyfriend in high school.
bookworm1208:
ah.
theluminoleffect:
I refuse to let anyone else own the waterworks and then the ...garden thing
a sick sight:
apparently im the only one who knows how to take proper clue notes
over9000dads:
Clearly you are a horrible person, Holly. How dare you break up with someone.
starlithunter:
I always take the first section of the board. :3
over9000dads:
Marvin Gardens
bookworm1208:
i like the trains. :D
adodarhoh:
my bad.
theluminoleffect:
yes, that's it.
starlithunter:
The whole first side. Mine.
theluminoleffect:
someone tried to reason with me that the electrical place was better than the waterworks but
a sick sight:
at some point i actually told everyone what their cards were and was right
over9000dads:
But my grandfather is the frigging best. He memorized each property and what it was worth with hotels and houses. So he can play it blindfolded now.
theluminoleffect:
YOU CAN'T WATER GARDENS WITH ELECTRICITY.
B|
bookworm1208:
XDDD
that's amazing.
over9000dads:
As long as you tell him what the dice says, yes
bookworm1208:
yea i really want to see your family play now.
theluminoleffect:
It'll be like a war zone, bookie
bookworm1208:
which is why i don't want to play.
just watch. XD
a sick sight:
film it and put it on youtube
bookworm1208:
yes.
theluminoleffect:
Oh man can I
over9000dads:
But you get a lot of heckling when the "Win $10 in a Beauty Contest" comes up, because everyone starts examining and criticizing your appearance.
theluminoleffect:
Can I please allison
film it
bookworm1208:
XDD
over9000dads:
Hahaha, oh god. Maybe I'll bring it up this Friday
gentlejester@gmail.com:
That's pretty insane
over9000dads:
We played with my grandmother once and she's hit people over this game. She doesn't hurt you or anything, she's like 80, but if you move to take the dice before it's your turn she'll reach over and smack your hand away
bookworm1208:
XDD
gentlejester@gmail.com:
LOL
bookworm1208:
monopoly is fun, even if you want to kill everyone else half way through.
over9000dads:
And you never, ever get up from the table for any reason.
Because then the game picks up speed and goes twice as fast because everyone wants to land on your property and miss you while you're out of the room
bookworm1208:
we have UVAopoly, for a long time my dad would go to jail rather than sing the school song so the rest of us wouldn't learn it. XD
over9000dads:
*laughs*
I think we have at least four different versions of the game kicking around
bookworm1208:
your monopoly games sound intense.
over9000dads:
The original, the New York one, the Pokemon one, and the one where the game is designed to go on forever and there are all these different rules kicking around
Where everything is like twice as much and the board is bigger
bookworm1208:
=o
over9000dads:
I think the only other game where things are equally intense is Scrabble.
But yeah.
Don't ever play games with my family.
bookworm1208:
XD
over9000dads:
And god help you if you WIN a game.
bookworm1208:
everyone gets after you the next game? XD
over9000dads:
Because then it's not only "winner cleans up game", but winner also has to clean up kitchen after dinner and take out the trash because everyone hates to lose.
bookworm1208:
aaah. XD
over9000dads:
So people occasionally throw the game just so they don't have to pick up
