Moderately Confused by Jeff Stahler for November 18, 2020

I thought that was “Life.”

Maybe don’t take games too seriously. Hmmmm?

Flinging it off the table will do it! (Please don’t stomp her travelling piece!)

So when that box comes out?

Once as a child, and once as an adult I played Monopoly (with other players, of course) fully and exactly as specified in the rules. It was like a different game.

Actually, that game never started.

In 2010, Steve Kelly penned a comic that showed a woman holding a Monopoly box with the title Recession Edition. The guy next to her said, It’s like the original, only nobody has money, houses don’t sell, and the little car token has a family living in it. Bitterly ironic then. Darker now.

Don’t sink Hassan’s battleship.

When I was a kid, we could only get one TV station and two radio stations, of course there was no internet, and sometimes a houseful of visiting relatives would be trapped inside for hours or days due to severe weather. Under those conditions, Monopoly would of course be resorted to. But I can’t even imagine anyone being willing to play it if there was anything else to do.

I see you’ve been to my house

Monopoly ends in my experience with somebody flipping the board.

I have a monopoly game still in its shrink wrap. I can’t find anyone willing to play.

Stahler, your slipping up , you didn’t put masks on them . We know what a masker you are . Your probably like the rest of your ilk , do as I say , not as I do

Yes, Family Game Night—it brings back memories.
