During the Christmas sales me and my cousins were out shopping and we found the most glorious thing. Maybe not but close enough. A swedish version of Monopoly with paper money. Any of those categories are hard to come by and both at the same time virtually impossible, but some quantum mechanics worked in our favours and teleported it here. So naturally we bought it because it's a one time find.
Inside the kitchen walls we set the game up and started playing. I had a flying start and got two streets before my cousins had even gotten half way through. I even got the most expensive street and both the Electric plant and the Water Works, all payed themselves eventually.
After a while when all but one street were sold we started trading internally to make things interesting, I got all the orange streets and green streets. While my cousins had the red, yellow, purple and light blue streets. So the red and yellow side of the map was dangerous for me, especially with houses. Red wasn't that big of a problem however, when the youngest cousin ended up paying all her money and stuff to the older cousin because she ended up on the most expensive street several times. I was lucky though, I managed to avoid that street every time. The youngest one was eventually bankrupt and lost. Not a problem though, I had hotels on the orange streets and a bunch of houses on the green streets. The oldest cousin didn't have money to build new houses even though she could have so she hoped I'd end up on her yellow street before she ended up on one of mine. Not the case though and I won. First time ever.
We later on moved on to Risk, Halo Wars Risk. I don't mind people who play to win and with all means necessary, within the rules of course. Playing honorably isn't one of those things. It however becomes quite frustrating when two cousins do the same and I'm the obstacle that must be overcome, by both. In the end I lost badly.
Wish we were a little more people though, it was really fun with five people.
