7 bored guys, saturday nite..nowhere to go, having supper at the kopitiam near our homes, discussing dota strategies and what to do with our time. guess what we ended up doing?
ttz rite, playing monopoly at one of the more deserted 2nd storey lift landings in one of the blocks near our usual hangout. and i mean monopoly, as in the board game tt many of us no doubt used to play in pri sch. lmao even as i think back abt what just transpired 12 hrs ago.
nvm who brought it down, fact is, some of us haven't played the game in like at least 10 years...and suddenly here we are, playing. needless to say, we started kind of slow, since many of us forgot the rules and all, and needed refreshing our memories.
but once we got to mid game, it was actually quite exciting, everyone was haggling over the price of certain properties they wanted to buy or sell; i even ended paying 4 times the original price for a piece of land i needed in order to complete my monopoly of a particular and start building houses. lol.
so, the 7 of us played all the way fr 12 mn until abt close to 5am..5 farking hrs!~ wth sia..i nv imagined that we would play so long. one by one, players went bankrupt and took their places on the sidelines to watcg the continuing property battle raging in the ring. sebast was so shag tt he just fell aslp on the floor at ard 3 plus to 4am lidat. by then, final contenders left were myself, elwin, and gong cb..lol..alvin even took up the position of financial adviser to gong cb after he went bust.
and when gong cb finally went bust too, both elwin and myself were too sick of it to continue, so we just ended the game..w/o determining who actually won..which was kinda of ambiguous too, since either of us could have won if we continued, because of my immense amts of properties and buildings and elwin's tons of cash. hahah.
thinking back, it was nt too bad, as i think we do need sth else to entertain ourselves lidat once in a while instead of always bball, billiard and dota.
That sounds like a great game... usually when I play Monopoly it only lasts for a couple hours, no one goes bankrupt and we have to count our money and properties' worth to determine the winner

yea like what bluetopaz suggested, either set last man standing or just a certain time limit and count the money. But board games are just pretty fun all along, but sadly fallen to the side since computer games appeared. Can always check out settlers/minds cafe, tons of board games and you'll be amazed how sophisticated some can be :)

hell, i don't even knw when's the next time we'll be doing sth like tt.. it was just a spur of a moment thing, since we were too sick of dota, drinking and billiard altogether. as for minds cafe, mayb we can all check it out together the next time we get together. :D
