Monopoly

I’m gonna follow up my previous post with another classic game, Monopoly! Actually, Bay and I played the Spongebob version of Monopoly, and it is really great. I like the Bikini Bottomized names of all the properties and stuff. While playing the game, I was looking at the rulebook and realized that the “Fujimoto Family Monopoly Rules” were a bit different than the official rules. I still prefer our enhanced ruleset and was teaching it to Bay.

Some of the enhanced rules that come to mind are:

  • If you land on Go, you get $400.
  • All tax money (luxury tax) goes into the middle of the board. If you land on Free Parking, you get whatever money is in the pot.
  • There is no such thing as auctioning off properties. You had to land on the property in order to buy it.

    Also, I didn’t realize that if you owned all the matching properties, you charge double for rent. My brother knew that, but I am not sure if we used to play that way. Anyways, it was fun to play with Bay, although we didn’t finish the game because it ran too long. Collecting cards, rolling the die, and moving the metal pieces around the board is still fun! And jail is cool. Just visiting!
