Does anyone still play the Monopoly board game? This used to be one of my favorite games. The original version. I don't like the new ones. I guess some like the new game, but I like the original one best! Monopoly was one of my favorite games! How about everyone else?

Hi allegradream! lol That's funny. :o) So, you always win? I always did, too, but then everyone said I cheated. (I may have) lol Oh, yes, the kids have to win. I can remember the fighting us kids did, and there were 7 of us. My poor parents. I hope you get to play with some grown ups. Have a great day and thanks for writing! :o)

Hello all! I still love monopoly, too. :o) I will not try the newer versions of it. I want the one that I had when I was a kid. :o) Has anyone else tried the newer versions? :o)

I love Monopoly and play with the kids (nieces and nephews) quite frequently. No, I have not played the new version, in my opinion the original version is most excellent and I will stick with it for now! It is sad to see how many families have got away from playing board games, isn't it? I guess with cable tv, satellite, and computers, many might find these games old, outdated, or boring. In our house, monopoly is still a favourite game. Cheat? Me? Never.... Well, almost never! Okay.....maybe sometimes!

Hello! lol Yeah, I cheated when I was a kid, or got others to give up there money. ha ha Oh yes, Scrabble and Battleship are good, too. I haven't heard of frustration, except with life. lol :o) I will have to look the other game up. It is great to hear that families still play the familiar board games. I hope your day is great!

hi hiucheekeong! Thanks for writing! Another monopoly player! Cool! Oh, a computer one? hmm, I will check it out, and probably will play it, but still not the same, huh? I can't find anyone to play either. My honey won't play cribbage with me either. waaa hee hee not really crying. Kidding. :o) I like cribbage, too. Maybe we should all hunt down some game players and start a group in town? :o) Thanks for your comment! Happy mtlotting!
