    Step 1: follow the rules we all agree upon.

    You’d be surprised at how difficult it is to find rules we can all agree on.

        Those are the first thing that get lost, together with half the plastic tanks (probably eaten by the dog or your little cousin). So in the end, you make up some of the rules and use tinfoil instead of the tanks.

        Btw, did you know you can get a loan from the Monopoly bank with interests at market rate? /s

          I don’t want to just come back with an answer every time but we’re all in our 30s and we played the monopoly set we grew up with last summer at our parents’ place with the nieces and nephews and it still has rules and all. I think the only things missing were the original dice as there were about 4 different sets of different colors and sizes in there.

          I get what you’re saying, but the metaphor kinda follows through in that when everyone at the table sits down and takes a minute to set the house rules and stuff we can all play in relative harmony.

          Monopoly’s easy, it’s just like:

          • Free parking?

          • Auctions?

          • Loans?

          • Mortgaging and stuff?

          and you’re pretty much good to go once you agree on those things.
