Full disclosure – I love the classic board game Monopoly. In fact, it is probably my favorite game of all time…
(Classic Monopoly Game that is almost 90 years old – a gift from my grandfather)
My introduction to Monopoly begins with my Arizona based cousins and late nights at the lake. I learned the value of real estate trading. You see, the point of Monopoly is not to play the game…the point is to play the players…Wheeling, dealing and Reading (Railroad)
The hardest part of playing Monopoly is finishing the game. It can be a grind. Luckily, the current makers of the game, Hasbro, have released new editions with speed rules that allow the multi-hour family game night favorite to be played in a tight window.
Unfortunately, I still was in need of finding a way to play my favorite game with people who are not in my home already.
Like flipping a Community Chest card and finding out that I won 2nd place in a beauty contest – the app developers figured out a way that I can continue the fun no matter where we are all located!
Yep, the Monopoly app (available in the Apple App Store and Google Play) is priced at $3.99. This is a good price for what you get. We are all a little hesitant to pay for an app, but this one is clean – easy to use – and has troubleshooting if you need it.
Imagine the fun of sitting on your own couch and playing one of America’s oldest board games with friends across the street or across the globe.
Think you can take me on? I am, currently, the undefeated Monopoly Celebrity Champion at Paradox Comics-n-Cards and my cousins will tell you that I am a tough competitor. Let’s play sometime!
Just to “play the player” here is some intimidation for our Monopoly showdown!
