Really hate your family or friend group?

Have I got the gift for you 

They need a way to mix Uno in and get all 3 relationship straining games into one package. 

Yes. Yes. 

It plays in one hour? Seems part of Monopoly didn't follow. Not that that's a bad thing.

I love playing against people who are bad at monopoly. Or need made-up rules to win.

Nobody gets anything for Free Parking.

I thought that maybe this was a goof, but I see it’s legit. (Too legit to quit?)

You know what I really hate? Board games

In reply to Peabody :

Starting to like this Peabody guy a bit more.....

Reminds me of this

 

SWMBO's family are 100% cutthroat when it comes to scrabble. They have their own augmented rule set, bring their own Scrabble dictionaries, etc. 

I showed her this & she's already ordered it. I'm kinda scared...

Sounds like someone can't win at Monopoly... 

The good news is that both my wife and I aren't very good at either Scrabble or Monopoly, so the gameplay tends to be pretty fun for both of us.

Adding this to the wishlist, because how could adding more chaos not be more fun?

This looks like a great way to start a fight at game night. 

In reply to ShawnG :

I'm retired with no debt and haven't started collecting any pensions yet. I could teach monopoly. 

Trying to think how to add in Jenga. 

Monopoly is a game banned from my friend group. Once during a hurricane, we were all staying together and decided to play Monopoly to pass the time...the game lasted four days and we almost killed each other.

Well we still haven't played a game of it yet, but I've been thinking about the Uno adaptation.

So the colored numbers can be rent multipliers, reverse and skip work the same, draw 2 and draw 4 could be played AGAINST the person whose turn it is by cutting down the number of tiles they're allowed to play. 

Maybe the Jenga tye in could be after the word is formed but before moving, if it falls you lose the word, but if it's a good move, you get to go? 

In 1984 they tried to get the language to one word; in 2025 we're trying to get the board game aisle into one game.

Also, in case anyone was curious, counting the unfinished build your own opoly, this makes Monopoly game #9 that we own, and Scrabble #2. I'm still missing my favorite ever monopoly, Futurama, but as it now costs over $400, it will remain missing and I will continue kicking myself for leaving it in California in 2014.

Playing 31 the card game for pennies as a child and being called a cheater by adult relatives when I one won, was pretty amazing. No one wants to be a loser.

I think Risk + Monopoly could work quite well actually

Risk already is Monopoly, except for countries instead of puny street addresses. 

Regular Monopoly games already only take about an hour if you play by the rules.. The problem is that no one likes to play by the rules because they're too "mean."  That said, it's objectively not that great of a game.

In reply to WonkoTheSane :

Okay, I can see that. Work in Chutes and Ladders instead? 

In reply to WonkoTheSane :

I see your Risk and raise you The Campaign for North Africa, one of the most complex board games ever made.

It could take at least 1500 hours to complete the full game.

Sounds good, after our session of Diplomacy wraps up!

I've been playing Stratego with my 9 year old son... Maybe we can work that in?  There's less broken cookie jars and more assasins?

No game builds lasting grudges like Diplomacy. I have friends who are still actively unhappy about things that happened in a game decades ago (I may or may not have engineered a fake conflict between myself (Austria-Hungary) and Russia, which led to some very successful backstabbing of Turkey and Germany simultaneously. Of course, I then stabbed Russia two turns later....).
