The whole point was that you must play by the written rules and it is unethical to not deal so that there is a "fair" distribution of the properties once they are all bought up. All the monopolies must be intact and evenly dispersed. Anybody coming into the game not willing to deal was soon thrown out or regarded as unethical, accordingly.:) Arlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06271437379396526716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5085354065266323033.post-57613177056858637132013-01-02T15:01:26.458-06:002013-01-02T15:01:26.458-06:00I remember Monopoly games or hearing about them be...I remember Monopoly games or hearing about them between Steve and Elv. And I learned all about Elv's game ethics as a little girl looking on. We three girls played monopoly and I think we grew up thinking Elv's rules were how it was actually played! :) And I think your post was pretty accurate and enjoyable and it didn't portray Elv too badly! :) amyjane30https://www.blogger.com/profile/12370724179526513142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5085354065266323033.post-91621608330934063902013-01-02T12:40:44.263-06:002013-01-02T12:40:44.263-06:00Not with Mr. Graber.

And playing just as quickly as possible is a huge thing too I guess. I always get a kick out of playing Monopoly with Dad.... But I don't think I've ever finished a game with him. Amy and I always kinda slowly ooze out sideways and let Brad and he fight the last battle.

Us kids would play in the stair well and totally bomb the house. And I don't think I ever played Monopoly with Dad and I don't think I shall ever try. I'd get my feelings hurt. But I'm glad the rest of the kids can do it.Lislhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03365375294399886488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5085354065266323033.post-88558281094715060152013-01-01T23:53:28.848-06:002013-01-01T23:53:28.848-06:00I DO NOT LIKE MONOPOLY.

We played it all day, all day, all day as children so when we had children we taught them to play Monopoly too and, but, after they did learn I quit! It is a good math teacher, gives the kids something to do in Christmas vacation and makes parenting easier because it keeps children busy and parents a brief reprieve.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
