The Very Long Monopoly Game

Last week on a Monday afternoon the boys were dropped off by the school bus, came in and devoured a snack and Charlie asked if we could play Monopoly. The game began, properties were bought, rents paid, but no one owned a complete set of properties before the boys were picked up to go home.



It was Wednesday when the boys were over again, we got a little bit of a late start on resuming the game as Patrick had play practice after school. But things quickly got exciting, Patrick got a completed set of properties and started buying houses, then I did, and after a bit so did Charlie. Then the boys were picked up to go home. It certainly looked as if Patrick would end up the winner.


Roll on to Thursday. The boys arrived home from school, had a snack, and the game resumed. It was brutal! After a bit Charles was bankrupt, but I think he was just ready for the seemingly never ending game of Monopoly to be over and left the table quite happily. Patrick and I battled on, but in the end he got the better of me and became Monopoly Champion!


It was a lot of fun but we were all glad to finally end the game.

Hi Bean,
...this post brings back so many childhood memories...Monopoly was a fun wintertime game for us...we used to play these marathon games with our cousins...a whole table full of kids...I remember one time we didn't even have enough pieces...I was always the scottie dog...and that time Mom got her actual thimble out...and we had a player with a little thimble and a big thimble...haha...
~Have a lovely day!
