Do you remember the first time that you played Monopoly?  It seemed like a fun game and everyone wanted to play, but it just looked so confusing and complicated.  At this point you might have played checkers or Yahtzee a couple of times in your life, but never a game this complex.

Then you finally got your family together and begged them to teach you how to play.  It was the longest 2-3 hours of your life, but you had so much fun.  Money was coming in, you had houses and hotels all over the board.  Things were looking pretty sweet and then, your older brother implemented his own rule regarding the “little brother tax”.  You were crushed and there was nothing you could do.

Now they have a ton of versions and it seems like you can get a version for every single hit TV show ever made.  It’s still the same old fun game, but not as fun as the vintage version of Monopoly that your grandmother has packed in the closet.
