You've played this:
I've just come up with a brand new version which, of course, is called, "fishduckyopoly"!! Monopoly is about life, while my game is about life as I wish it could be. Here is an enlarged picture of the board. I've numbered the squares to make it easier for you to see what the changes are.
1. Collect new credit cards as you
pass GO.
2. Helicopter pad
3. No more Community Chest--I had a
mastectomy.
4. Extra large clothes closet
5. My accountant handles this.
6. Beverly Hills Ferrari dealer
7. Hairdresser's house
8. If there’s a chance I want it, I’ll
get it!!
9. Masseur's house
10. Manicurist's house
11. I was sure I had paid for that ruby necklace!!
12. Gucci's
13. Leave the lights on; I own this
utility!!
14. Prada
15. Cartier
16. Beverly Hills Lamborghini dealer
17. Seamstress’ (Vera Wang; I like
casual clothes) house
18. See #3
19. Chauffeur’s (Dale Earnhardt, Jr;
because I feel the need for speed)
house
20. Chef’s house (I fired Gordon
Ramsey; I didn’t like his attitude. The
position is currently open.)
21. I can park anywhere; I have a handicapped plate.
22. Apartments I own that you couldn’t
afford.
23. See #8
24. More apartments I own that you
couldn’t afford.
25. Whatever
26. Beverly Hills Rolls Royce dealer
27. Beach house
28. Mountain chalet
29. Still Water Works, but now it’s what I turn on if Bud says I can’t have
something.
30. The really big yacht!!
31. Go to expensive restaurant for dinner.
32. Condos that I own
33. Spare condos that I own
34. See #3
35. Servant’s quarters
36. Beverly Hills Porsche dealer
37. See #8
38. Rodeo Drive
39. What Bud has to pay for my
jewelry fixation.
40. Where we’re building our new
mansion.

The rules are identical to this game:
My son Matt has a tattoo of me & his father.
Bud bears a striking resemblance to the Monopoly man!!
I plan to be
spontaneous tomorrow----fishducky

Somehow I think that fishduckyopoly will have limited appeal to the masses. Good ground rules for life though...
ReplyDeleteYou don't think it would sell?
DeleteNow if you put hotels on Boardwalk you go bankrupt!
ReplyDeleteIf you try to live today you go bankrupt!!
DeleteBoy did that bring back good memories. What a fun family game and beats an electronic toy. The new squares cracked me up especially #3. I have friends in that boat.
ReplyDeleteLove your son's tattoos. That is devotion.
I'm not normally a fan of tattoos, but I LOVE his!!
DeleteI think you have the most creative blog on the web. So inventive.
ReplyDeleteThank you--I never know what I'm going to post!!
DeleteI second to Stephen Hayes comment.
ReplyDeleteAlso I would like an extra large clothes closet as well. That is entirely my own as well.
As a thank you, I'm giving you the address of my blogger friend Val. (http://unbaggingthecats.blogspot.com/) Her husband Hick likes to build additions to buildings. Maybe he can build you a closet!!
DeleteWe didn't play Monopoly much when we were kids. We didn't own board games, but friends did and they would bring it over, but 'someone' (not me) was a sore loser and cheated to be sure he'd win. I'd wander off and read a book instead.
ReplyDeleteWhenever Nameless played, she'd always insist on being the banker--I wonder why!!
DeleteWe played monopoly when we were kids. Couldn't afford your board--LOL!
ReplyDeleteCracked up at Calvin, though--robbing the bank!! So funny! Now why didn't I think of that? ;)
Sometimes it's necessary to be really inventive to win!!
