We agree with our friends. This game is really fun! My youngest son seems to be the champion so far. He also plays the roll of the Fed Governor (there's no banker in this game, instead it's a Fed Gov who doubles as a property auctioneer). He also manages to spend a lot of time in Gitmo (no jail in this game either). (You open business to put on your property, not house buying like the old version....etc)
From what I understand they will be coming out with expansion packs for the "Community Organizer" and "Hope & Change" cards. (Formerly "Community Chest" --I almost wrote "Cummunity" ---- and "Chance" cards) so I am looking forward to getting those too. (All of the properties (companies) are named after companies that received bail out money, and Boardwalk and Park Place are "Read Road" and "Legosi Place"..vampire twist on Pelosi's name...) Oh, and if you land on the Health Care Tax space, you don't have to pay it, because your opponents have to pay it for you.
I can no longer be "the shoe" as the pieces are different too. So I'm now the money bag piece. My son is the eagle. Anyway...it's a fun way to spend an evening and I'm glad I bought it. :)

DO NOT fight with me on software property rights, though

I don't know what to say. I'll try to have your back if you need it.

your ass will be kicked. but you will still be useful in the Gulch

That's ok. I think our legislature is working on how to best determine the level of imparement. As it is now, "they" usually walk free unless they are holding more than allowed. I did vote in favor of legalization. I figure if I ever come back from going Galt, I'll have an advantage over those who use.

I saw that. Perhaps it'll happen soon. Then I can hook up with your son and give him some lessons. : )

I also got this game in the mail today! That was ridiculously fast shipping :) Can't wait to play it.... funny thing is I'm leaving in an hour to go to a Girl's Game Night at a friend's house..I'm so tempted to take it with me, but I'm sure I'd start a war....lol Very VERY tempted tho.

LetsShrug and I put in for a feature to make that happen. there's a post around here somewhere...

I'm very sorry. the number of people driving around high has probably increased exponentially recently

If we had some privacy we could make that happen, but for now we don't.

Not fair? I haven't decided. She was in an auto accident - the other driver was high as a kite on marijuana. Bad neck injuries. Could no longer swallow so feeding tube was installed. It took her three years to die. The bastard that killed her walks free today.

and I should have said, losing your wife. well that is hard and not fair. is there a government program for you :)

oh, and I love G of the G, and the solar homes. shoot, mayhap I even looked at buying yours :)

interesting. we shrugged from Broadmoor Bluffs. and if Turkey is familiar, looked there for a time, an wet and pen as a stop gap. Then we left all together. just was back. hated it. could hardly deal. anyway, if you want a monopoly player, I'll pass along stuff, 20 somethings can always use good mentors and he's already in here playing around

I'm not sure, but I heard it's VERY fun to play

Close, butnot near. Skyway, nice area. I used to live like that before my wife passed and I went Galt.

I used to live in one of those "Live Better Electrically" homes in the Garden of the Gods. At that time, electricity rates were about $00,1 per kilowatt hour. Circa 1977. I got out of there just in time. Now I'm several miles south.

Oh if we only had a virtual Gulch Obamanomics Opoly game we could play...I feel like kicking some ass. I wonder if it has a shoe game piece too... Heck..I'd settle for some euchre at this point.

well, he just kicked A in Obamanomics Opoly in Security and lives in Top of Skyway. anywhere near you?

we speak ENGLISH (I was going to say the Gulch-but that's just not right) in this post!

did you give me a point?

Affirm we may be in the same town. I'd enjoy a chance to play a worthy opponent for once.

LOL...oh yeah... then I'm SO NOT a bitch then.

ROF - LMAOOOOO !

So true....

Thank you!
