I found this site (www.games.com ) and you can play games such as Monopoly, Scrabble, Yahtzee, me and Troon are gonna have a game of Monopoly in a few minutes (when he's finished playing something else) and we were just wondering if anyone wanted to join us, there can be up to 4 players....

Too bad they don't have Anti-Monopoly. Yes, it's a real game we had when we were kids. Instead of acquiring property, you were supposed to indict monopolies, trusts, and oligopolys. I guess that's why I'm a moderate now. :D

There is Anti-Monpoly. I've personally designed my own "Anti-Capitalist Monopoly" board: if anyone wants to TG me their email address, I'd be more than happy to send it to them.

I know of a game where you start with a ridiculous amount of money and need to spend it all until the end, while during the game you still get millions upon millions handed to you, which hinders you from spending all the money. THAT is a nice game :)

Other words that I lost my challenges to:

"routh"
"hodad"
"frena"

The first two can only be found in www.urbandictionary.com, which contains other fine examples of the English language, such as "woot" and "leet".

it's because the idea is to get a monopoly of the different colours, ie. you have to get lots (poly) of one (mono) colour (if that makes any sense at all)

Can't we just make a universal monopoly so that we don't have to worry about all these street names? You know what's even worse? Now we've got a Simpsons monopoly! Why can't we just stick with the original?

First you don't know what TVR is, then you don't know who the Trotters are... you are a problem child. However, the ignorance of the Trotters is less of a sin than not knowing of TVR... the "Trotters" is a nickname for the football team (proper football) Bolton Wanderers.
