I can still remember the old days when Monopoly was so popular for teens that prefer to play indoors rather than outside and get dirty. I was one of the players of Monopoly who always win. One day, my father scolded me for sleeping late almost everyday because of playing Monopoly to the extent that he burn the board to stop me coz I became addicted to it. I even play with myself alone..weird. Oh, well, those were the old days. :)

I used to enjoy playing Monopoly as well, but I never got to the point where my father had to burn the board to help end my addiction. However, as an adult, I once became addicted to hand-held Tetris, and it got to the point where I burned it because I just couldn't seem to break myself from the habit. Do you still play Monopoly? How about online?

I no longer play Monopoly. But my kids do.I'm afraid I'll get into the bad habit again.

Probably for the best. I no longer play Tetris for the same reason.

I don't remember playing monopoly. What we used to play was scrabble. However, it was not often because we kids then were very restless. We preferred to climb the trees, play hide and seek or volleyball on the streets. It was fun and I remember being scolded often because the adults said we were too rowdy. We have monopoly and millionaires game in the house but the kids don't seem to be interested to play with it. They prefer to communicate with friends over Facebook and Twitter. They hardly ever have any physical activity except for the mountain climbing which is not often.

Even I love playing monopoly. I actually love playing most of the board games. And monopoly is surely a different and a very interesting game. Earlier, before I joined Facebook, I used to play all those board games that include monopoly as well. But as soon as I joined Facebook, I found other addicting games and stopped playing the board games. But later on, I thought of playing monopoly one day, but to my disappointment, I had lost all the money of the game. I wanted to play it badly, so I created money using paper. Lol. I played monopoly with my paper money for a few days but later, I lost interest in it. And now, I no more play those games. But Yes, I surely miss those days when I used to play monopoly and if I get a chance, I'll surely play again! :)

It's a very fun and addicting game. My family and I used to play 2 or 3 games of it every Saturday night. Either myself, or my wifes son would always win lol. good times.
