Advantages: You'll be hooked, NEVER gets boring, MONOPOLY!!

Disadvantages: None!

Monopoly has been around for years and is everyone's favorite board game. My family and I have played it for a long time. I remember every time I went to my cousins house we played, or whenever the whole familygot together we played, and everyone loved it. Surprisingly, after reading another opinion in the Monopoly category, seeing that she and her family had fights when they played this game and seeing that everyone who wrote a comment also did, I don't have any fights whilst playing this game. When we do complain, we end up laughing over it seconds later, but it's never a big fight. I am not saying ,my family's perfect, because we are not!

For those of you who have lived thousands of miles away from civilisation all your life and never heard of Monopoly, you basically buy property and build houses/hotels on it. When someone else lands on your property, you get money. The more property you have on there, the more money you get, and it depends on how much the property is valued at. In the original version, the most you can get is £2000, if someone lands on your Mayfair Hotel.

You can also make up your own rules in this game. My favorite is the one I actually made up-Every time you land on Free Parking, you get a certain amount of money. This amount increases after every time someone lands on it. For example, you could go up in £500's. This is a brilliant rule in my opinion, as you look forward to getting on that spot every round, even if you are losing.

To make the game more interesting, there are community chest and chance cards. These have small phrases on them, such as Gte out of jail free or go directly to jail, or it is your birthday, get £10 from each player.

When you start the game, you get a set amount of money. But to win the game, you must make all of your opponents bankrupt. It's pretty tough, but it's the best board game around, and with so many different versions, you'll be hooked all
your life.
