Monopoly Madness


Last night I joined in playing a game of Monopoly with some co-workers and mission buds. They play the game the way it should be played, very seriously. In addition to the printed rules, these rules are usually enforced: No talking deals unless it’s your turn BEFORE you roll, no payments after the next person rolls, if you remind someone to collect money, you pay in place of the person who landed on the property, no immunities, no paying for other players’ debt. And prob some others that I missed. This game was intense, and with seven of us still in the game after 3 hours of play, pride was on the line as to who went out first. With tons of flip flops and almost bankruptcies it was very fun. Around 1:15am it got to the point where Jason and Aaron were offering real money to people for their properties. Here’s how the final score broke down.

  1. Jason McGowan
  2. Aaron Wagner
  3. Pace McCulloch (new nikes)
  4. Stephan Taeger
  5. Ricky Butler ($20 cash and 20 bucks at Magleby’s Grill)
  6. Derek Batisti (free fake Rolex)
  7. Dustin “the Biggest Loser” Draper (Two tickets to BYU home game)

Considering my competition, I’m pretty happy with getting third (and some new shoes). Good game guys, I look forward to the rematch!
