Playng Board Games W/ The Fam


Recommended Posts

I've been married twice. Occasionally, my friends and their wives would get together and play monopoly. After a couple of times each, neither of my wives would play if I was playing. I'm a nice guy, but very competitive, and tend to piss people off when they just "give" monopolies away.I'm the Phil Helmuth of Monopoly.... "YOU CAN'T EVEN SPELL BALTIC AVENUE!"edit:I just remembered another story about those days. All of my friends loved to gamble, so we sometimes added a twist to the game. If anyone landed on Free Parking, we rang a bell, and the casino opened up. I would pull out a deck of cards, and players were allowed to play blackjack versus the bank for a certain number of hands.Fun Times.

scattegories and apples to applesftw
My family banned Scattergories after too many heated arguments. Good times, though.
Settlers of Catan FTW
Winner. Learned to play on a family vacation to the middle of nowhere, Idaho.

Phase 10 is a very fun and easy card game that I have played for YEARS with my family.I love Monopoly, but I'm the same as others here, too competitive. My wife gets mad at me when we play it cause as soon as the dice is rolled, I know where they will land and how much they owe who without looking at anything really. So for example, she rolls as soon as the dice land, I would say "Illinois Ave, you owe me $20". Me and my friends played it all the time for $50-$100/game each...we always wanted to figure out a way to have extra money so we could have a "bank" and basically use real money...like use $0.01, $0.05, $0.10, $0.20, $0.50, $1, and $5 in real money instead of the $1, $5, $10, $20, $50, $100, and $500 bills in Monopoly Money. Never actually did that though...
