Booo story doesn't say that the conflict was related to game play or not.

That said, I would require weapons to be checked at the door in even the friendliest game of Monopoly.

I was playing with coworkers once in college, by the 2nd game, one dude (who we knew had anger problems) was threatening to punch another guy over a roll. They were also trying to trade work shifts for properties.

Monopoly destroys all relationships

I will go to the mat defending Monopoly. It's a great board game. People ruin it by employing house rules passed down through generations that they don't realize are house rules.

They didn't make the game. A woman made it to try and push people towards Georgism, which is a political ideology saying that land ownership and the benefits of such should be collectively owned by all.

And to think I always thought knocking over the board and throwing pieces at your sister was just part of the game.

In high school we played for money and as a sort of drinking game. One of our larger friends was eating out of a box of Cookie Crisp cereal and also somehow winning. Nobody really considered it was weird for him to eat a box of cereal since he was really getting into his groove as big fat party animal. But when he went to the bathroom, someone took his cereal box out of frustration and maybe because he was hungry too and lo and fucking behold a stash of monopoly cash in there. He had brought extra bills from his house, stashed them in the cereal box and was cheating us. Needless to say, we beat the crap out of him. But it wasn’t that gruesome. He was really a big fat party animal so it was like kids harassing a bear. He took his lumps, cursed us to eternity for destroying his box of cereal and we all went back to underage drinking and gambling. Best monopoly day ever.

Well...they bought the game from some guy who stole it from a woman, and then when they found out about that, they went to the woman and paid her a paltry amount for the rights. So it does show the evils of capitalism, just not in the way originally intended.

I’m just going to put this legal monopoly dick move out there:

You land on someone’s property and are about to go bankrupt.

Before you declare bankruptcy you can always trade properties for cash to try to make the rent. You trade everything you own and all your cash to someone you want to win for one of their dollars.

Then when you declare bankruptcy the landlord gets everything you have left, a dollar.

I only use this if someone is being completely insufferable. It doesn’t help, but at least now they have a reason.

Okay, that particular dick move is actually legal, but still a dick move. The game was invented to bash capitalism, after all, and nobody who is losing hard isn't going to eg: help his wife out if he wants the rest of the evening to go well. I'm talking more about the shit people do that makes it take forever (the chief complaint) such as the "Free Parking Pot" and refusing to trade at all.

Y'know what the best dick move in Monopoly is? Are you prepared to read the big black evil book bound in human flesh? The rules say you don't replace houses with pennies or Lifesavers or some shit when they run out - when they're gone, they're gone. So never build hotels and nobody else can build anything. Check and mate.

My nickname in my Monopoly club (yes, I know) was "Slumlord." I would give some sucker my entire bankroll for Baltic and Mediterranean and then bleed them like Jack the Ripper.

My big brother always wanted to be the banker. I finally realized he was embezzling from the bank and would always win. I was around 10 and he 15. My two sisters, both older often played too.

So one day, I decided to just go into the box and lift some cash, hide it in my room, and dominate the next time we played. Unfortunately, my stupid ass took almost all the 500s and I was quickly found out.

My brother tattled to my mom who said I wasn't allowed to play that game. She didn't say I wasn't allowed to watch my brother like a fucking hawk. As soon as he started cheating (he hid money under his leg and would pull a bill or two out at a time), I found my mom and told her what was going on. She came in, verified that he was, in fact cheating, and grounded his ass for a week.

Yeah, I got beat up later. The funny thing is he capped out at around 5'8", and I made it to 6 feet and was in much better shape than his slovenly ass. So then the tables were turned and he got his comeuppance several times. We haven't really talked since he became a huge fan of that guy that was elected in 2016.

i learned decades ago not to play board games with family. it gives them the opportunity to vent how they truly feel about you through those games without actually saying it. if you have a toxic family this can be life altering if you don't understand what they're doing.

There's a really good app now. It's a lot of fun with tons of expanded maps and different play styles. I highly recommend.

But tons of collaboration (fucking Canadians are the worst cheaters I swear) but the bad doesn't outweigh the good.

Never heard of this before, but Neptune's Pride has a similar vibe, specifically like playing Diplomacy PBP. It's all alliances and backstabbing, and it takes many IRL hours for ships to move between star systems and for research to happen. Games can potentially last a month. Playing it with people you know is a nightmare since real life continues on as you all erode each other's trust.
