Eric and I have been playing a bit of monopoly lately. It’s funny because when I say we’ve been playing monopoly, people probably picture us sitting on the floor or at the table around a big board game throwing dice and ho humming over plastic houses and what not. But we don’t play monopoly that way. We play on pogo.com
He sits in his room at his computer, and I sit in my room on mine and we play monopoly together. Weird? I don’t know nor care. It’s fun. He has a good time and so do I. The only thing I can’t get over is how he got so good at the game so fast. He went from not really knowing how to play it to beating me. He knows how to swindle a ton of cash out of his opponents and then he con them into giving properties to him for bottom dollar. It’s crazy how good he is at this game. Chris and I play it sometimes too, and Chris almost always beats me no matter what. So either I suck or they are just both really good. Check out this screen shot of the last game Eric and I played. It’s really sad.




Oh my gosh! This is so funny because I just discovered this the other day and am totally addicted. It’s so entertaining and definitely helps the day go by quicker! I was going to blog about it as well! LOL
I never have the patience to play a full game of monopoly. But I do love the game, just not how long it takes to play.
You do beat me quite a bit too!!!
Eric is pretty good at that game though for his age…I was surprised kinda!!!
I took up to playing monopoly at pogo.com recently too, since my family practically refuses to have and social contact with anyone other than themselves. Haha. But yeah, it’s fun. I’d say 80% of the time I go bankrupt. The other 20% I come out thirds or second.
I think it’s more fun to play on the computer than on a board too. So I don’t think it’s weird.
