Good evening ladies and madness...

Monopoly Madness.. the game started off pretty fast with everyone landing on properties and filling up the board fast. Mr. Azicri, however, decided very early on that he would land on chance and advance straight to boardwalk. Nice start. then when he went around the board again, he landed on park place. Pretty much almost game, set match from there. People continued to roll and land on properties and buy, but Adam landed on Pennsylvania and north carolina pretty quick and was hoping for pacific, but Alex got to it first. Oh fudge. At this point no railroads had been landed on but Adam finally landed on B&O Railroad.

Jason had a monopoly on Park and Boardwalk and decided to put up houses. Adam was on North Carolina Ave and if he landed on Boardwalk he was out of the game. Everyone was standing up. Adam rolled one dice at a time. The first one, a 5. The second one...........a.............. 2. Adam was out, had to put on the "BROKE" shirt, and now has to write this stupid blog.

Mike goes BANKRUPT!!!!

Alex goes BANKRUPT.

It's now Greg and Jason in the game. Greg has 1 yellow, 2 reds, 2 pinks, and a brown. And a railroad. Jason has everything else.

Greg now has a yellow and a railroad mortgaged, Jason is putting up houses everywhere. He has Hotels on Orange, a few houses on green, and a few houses on Blue.

Jason basically won but they are finishing the game by waiting for Greg to land on one of Jason's big properties.

Greg is staying alive by dodging Jason's properties while Jason is continuing to build on his property.

Greg just landed in jail and is safe for a few more rolls.

Jason just landed on the last property available which is St. Charles.

Greg keeps landing on JAIL. He is staying in the game.

Greg just landed on Pacific with 2 houses on it and owes $330. he has now mortgaged all his property and only has $60 left. Jason has no shot. Just kidding. Jason just won as Greg landed on income tax.

The end.

Maddness...no this is maddness!

Monopoly: 1) a board game created by Parker Brothers in which players move around the board and buy properties with the goal of taking all the money from the other players. 2) a market in which there are many buyers but only one seller; 3) when luck overcome skill.

The game started with the usual complaining from the defending hat wearer Alex "ooowwwwwwwww" Usategui as Greg rolled a strong 11 making him the first to roll and Alex the last. Roll after roll happened. Greg eating up massive properties. Jason being audited, paying his income tax and generously giving each player. Adam picked up a few properties and Mike made the poor choice of only staying on the property other trailblazers have already occupied. Eventually a trade was due to be made...and it was. Alex took the purple. Greg the red. Adam the light Blue. Jason the Orange. Mike only had broken hopes and dreams. The masterstroke by Jason was not trading until all players were in prime position to land on his orange. Player after player landed on community chest in between Jason's properties. Jason knew this was the end and he HAD to do something, but it was too late. Greg knocked out Jason and took the slums unmortgaged. The computer was open and the search for the website was on. Greg eventually knocked off the others one by one until Alex couldn't come to grips with reality and gave his money to the bank.

There is Monopoly and then there is monopoly. Which was was this? I'll let you be the judge.
