Whose Brilliant F***ing Idea Was This?

(And anyone who makes the obvious "Tap Vanna White" joke will be perma banned by Spiffy. Yes, even you, Squig.)

Welcome back 005.

Sorry for the interruption but I am going to post something about the original topic.

I don't mind the new round board. I think it is kind of cool. But they made way to many changes to the rest of it. I might buy it if they brought back the original paper money and the metal game pieces. The paper money was what made it fun.


Did someone say Jeopardy? :devil: I will take "Sexy Vegetables" for $500, Alex.
 
It's only an addition to the Monopoly range anyway, it isn't replacing the old one. There's already umpteen different versions out, so I don't think this really matters too much.
 
Speaking of that, oh so American game, It wasn't until recently (within the period I've been registered here) that I found out that you have VERY different game pieces than what come with the game here!

Of course it's all streamlined plastic today (the shape has changed over the years) but we've always played the game with pieces in the shape of cars!
Somehow that always seemed perfectly logical to me -I mean; how would someone get around town in a top hat or an iron?????

So that chance card makes me wonder, how long until we get TrekBBSopoly? TNZ and Misc would be Boardwalk and Park Place and there'd be lots of cards like that.
 
I am in complete agreement with the OP. Keep It Simple Stupid.

And if 005 gets to start a big ass "I'm back" thread so do I!
 
I'm still trying to get over the fact that Rich Uncle Pennybags was renamed Mr. Monopoly. That's what I get for only playing with my parent's copy of the game, which must be over thirty years old now.

Don't knock it. I always win with the iron!
 
I believe the TrekBBS is missing a "play by post" version of Monopoly. This needs to be rectified ASAP.

I get the thimble!
 
i'll be honest, i dont believe i've ever played a full game of monopoly... as a kid i always got too bored by the 3rd time around the board. as an adult, i havent played it, nor do i have any desire to. my sister got me a Nintendo Themed monopoly board years ago, it is still sealed.

just because something is classic, doesnt mean it's good.
