    I was listening to news radio the other night and they were having a detailed story on the Monopoly championships going on now.

    Guessing with all you property gurus out there who loves Monopoly with a passion, is there anyone here who has taken part in a Monopoly championship?

    Do share any interesting stories.

    Yeah go on fess up….who loves little ol me???? [inlove] [laugh4][laugh4][laugh4]

    Nah…seriously, I love the game, hence the choice of name; I have 6 different versions of the game, and hope to acquire many more (games as well)!!!! [lmao]

    I have never taken part in the championship, and until recently didn’t know they existed; but AM VERY INTERESTED!!! Bring it on…..[medieval]

    Actually, it was when I was reading your reply to my other post that started me thinking about Monopoly the game.

    And that led to me remembering about the news story and hence this post … ;-)

    I gave up on Monopoly a long time ago.

    It’s a fun game – but my 5yr old daughter tends to beat the rest of our family all the time :)

    We ate our Monopoly game. Hehe, we had one with chocolate properties.
    So you end up with a shortage of housing towards the end of the game.
    We still have the Dutch version that we brought with us; may be we should start playing it again- much fun!

    Bennido,

    I believe we bought it at a David Jones a couple of years ago now.

    Istill have the board, it’s good for short games (it’s cut down)
