Got Any Funny Monopoly Stories?

I was playing monopoly last night with friends and we once again had a blast. Alot of funny things happened, but nothing too notable. It got me curious though. Do you have any awesome "lolz!!!11" stories concerning a game of Monopoly?

 

Yeah, this one time I got to be the car piece.
Bad ass!

 

Monoply and fun? I've never seen it. Even with the SW and LORT ones I have it's still boring as *****.

 

Oh yes, but I'm afraid I can't say a thing as I signed an NDA with Microsoft.

 

We like to pretend that the money is real. It's hysterical.

 

One time Free Parking got up to a ridiculous amount of money, and uhh....someone got it, or something.

 

Speaking of Monopoly; does anybody really actually play with the auctions?

 

Me and my friends arrange the hotels so they look like Auschwitz.

No.

 

Monopoly is always more fun when you play with real money. For keeps.

Of course, being the broke grad student I am, we generally delegate it on a 1/100 scale.

$500 Monopoly = $5 US

^Credit to Eethy. JCC Monopoly is a game I would play.

 

So who's the unlucky one who has to pay everyone 2 dollars every time they pass Go?

 

One time me and two of my cousins did a three-way swap of properties. It was epic.

 

Oh, I get it.

 

Everytime I play monopoly (whether with family or friends) someone always ends up getting pissed off and "losing on purpose" just so the game ends.


4/5 times it's me.

 

I found it funny when Microsoft was fined for including Internet Explorer in every release of Windows.

 

I personally like Anti-Monopoly better.

I played once and traded away everything I had to stay alive. I ended with 1 dollar and got third of four players. But I didn't lose!

 

My favorite Monopoly story is the time that I was playing Star Wars Monopoly with a couple of friends and bought the Imperial Palace on my very first turn, thanks to a Chance card.

 

I played Monopoly in real life, in Atlantic City. I know where Park Place and Boardwalk intersect and ended up winning $20 on a slot machine there!

 

Monopoly is where fun goes to die.

One spring evening my brother and a few of our chums decided to play Monopoly. The brightly colored monies and shiny pewter pieces dazzled us with their vibrancy. To think we, a few schoolboys, would be pretending to trade in artificial real estate, with imaginary currency no less. What fun there was, the dice rolling, the money exchanging hands.

We were all having a smashing good time, until Reginald, who had just recently been forced to mortgage off his Baltic Avenue property, was sent to jail, forced to pass go without collecting his $200 salary. This put Reginald in quite a bad spot. He very much needed that salary if he was ever going to make it 'round the board another time. His finances were stretched thin, and the creditors were beginning to put the press on him. He was on his last legs, with nowhere to go, and when he finally made it out of jail, poor Reginald landed on Daniel's, that's my brother, Virginia Avenue property. Well, while poor Reginald had been in financial trouble, Daniel's fortune was quite the opposite. He had twice opened a hotel on Virginia Avenue, and now Reginald was on the verge of being pushed out of the game. Daniel, a reasonable sort of fellow, decided to let him off the hook...if Reginald agreed to give him his Short Line Railroad, the final piece Daniel needed to acquire a monopoly on the railroads. The other lads and myself were quite furious at this, having no monopolies of our own, this action would surely carry Daniel over the top, and with little room on the board to expand, Reginald would surely sink into bankruptcy at any ill fated roll of the dice. We tried to talk him out of such a foolhardy endeavor, but Reginald was hearing none of it, and took the deal quite in haste, his sight so shortened that he could not see his doom approaching. Charlie, that's the other lad, and myself, quickly came into an accord, quite under the table, to wrest control of the board out of Daniel's hands. Daniel, a very serious boy, with little sense of humor, would be most upset at this action, were he to find out what we had planned for him, and it was good that he did not see it coming until we had him. Fortune shone upon Charlie and myself when, upon my next role, I found my piece landing on Water Works, sealing up my utilities monopoly. Charlie was equally fortunate, completing his monopoly with Pennsylvania avenue. Now we had a reasonable hold on the board, and Daniel, whose vast fortune exceeded both Charlie and My own by no small margin, could not surpass the combined wealth of our great financial empires. We had to be quite sneaky about this, and so, through means of trading and bartering, Charlie and I found ourselves owning monopolies on nearly half the board, save for the railroad, and the coveted Boardwalk. Daniel, the poor boy, did not even see it coming, as the board was swiftly filled with hotels, all impeding Daniel's progress in this phony financial world. And then, dear readers, was when the highlight of the evening took place. Daniel, whose dwindling fortune was quickly catching up to him, landed on none other than my recently acquired Water Works. The look of horror on his face, as he realized his ill fate, fellows, was something one cannot hope to describe. Charles and I had quite the laugh at Daniel's expense, who had become very cross at the both of us, and took to chasing us around the yard with a rather large walking stick from father's study. Ah, the fleeting days of youth.
