Monopoly Marathon

Remember playing Monopoly when you were little? I do. We would always play Monopoly during the holidays. Our family games would last for hours!

If my Dad was playing, he always won! He could talk you into a any trade for property.
He would give you Water Works for your Green Monopoly. Somehow, Dad always talked us into a trade that was horrible for us and beneficial for him!

This year, I saw the boys enjoy a long, long, LONG game with Reid and myself. We started the game on Thanksgiving around 4:00 pm. We played until late that night, and then picked it up again Friday morning...


Thursday, everyone started the game off strong...
Weston loved being the banker!
Mason started the game with very little, but his property management skills were evident as he quickly accumulated property...and monopolies.
Franklin seemed to snatch all of the "good properties."
24 Hours Later...Friday afternoon...

everyone had changed clothes

the board was covered with hotels


the bank was broke


Mason had over $10,000 in $500 bills

everyone in the game had filed for Bankruptcy except Reid and Mason - they were the only players left!



Here's a picture of Mason's PILE of money! Unbelieveable!
The game ended in a draw between father and son! Reid and Mason declared a tie! Reid plays the game much nicer than my Dad did with me!
