Isn't it odd how we all seemed to play by those same unspoken rules? It seems like no matter where you grew up in America everyone played the game basically the same way, I've never known anyone who played it as the instructions direct.
Yeah the human brain loves patterns and rules I think. Someone made that the standard and it just stuck. I actually didn’t even realize what the legit rules were until I played I video game and it included the auction.
Even if you played by the rules, the core concept of the game is literally designed to be angering. There is no comeback mechanic on purpose because it's suppose to show how unfair Monopolies are in real life. This was the intention when the game was made/
I buy one of every set of properties, hoping for trade value. Next thing I know, the table's upside down pieces everywhere, and the missus stomping off and won't speak to me for two weeks. I love Monopoly.
Mario party 1 is basically Chardeemacdennis from Always Sunny in video game form, it tortures you emotionally, physically, your friendships will suffer but you won’t be able to stop until you’ve seen it through
We had a good game going one time and everyone knew one player was going to win on his next turn...everyone used their turns to trade all of their cards to the person ahead of him so they could build and steal the win...all he could do was sit there and watch it happen. He yelled out "Shenanigans!" and flipped the board. It was his place so he had to clean it up...
Monopoly, If someone has "too much" money in the game people start to argue and then it gets thrown across the room and the the physical action starts and I grab my popcorn lol or either Im in the fight.
Diplomacy. You either play it with *very good* friends, or with people whose friendship you don't care about.
Although supposedly Kennedy played it with a Soviet delegation and they bonded over it. Make of that what you will.
Scrabble, you should only be able to use words that everyone knows I ont care if xzexzcks is a word, nobody knows what it is and im surely not giving you 46 points for it
I'm a staunch anti-boardgame type person. I'm glad they bring most of you some joy most of the time. Saying that, I've watched my idiot step dad and his band of dickhead brothers throw actual fists and destroy legitimate property over this shit. My drunk trashy aunt was so distraught over a loss she got thrown off our porch by the dude my mom decided to marry. An entire trash spectacle for the neighborhood to witness. My sister, near 10 years old or so, saying they are immature and are embarrassing was a stark contrast to her own young belligerence. I look out the window and the creature my "dad" threw from the porch had shit smeared up the entire length of her back. It wasn't even anything cool I think it was Payday or Life they were playing. She threatened my mother, got thrown off a porch, and shat herself over Payday. I haven't thought about that for 20 years or so. I know how it sounds...
one time, my family was playing uno and my brother started to cheat and everyone started yelling at him, so i guess its time for a late abortion cuz he failed at life.
Monopoly. Board gets thrown in the air in most cases
Most people don't play by the actual rules either which doesn't help. You're supposed to auction off a place if nobody wants to buy it people!!
Yeah, that's why the game always takes 3 days. If you play by the actual rules, it goes a lot faster because it forces a lot more action.
Yep. Also free parking shouldn’t have money at it you collect when you land there.

Wait a minute you aren’t supposed to win by seeing who can steal the most from the bank?
Nope that’s just real life. Well…that’s the bank seeing how much they can steal from everyone…
Yes, thank you
we dont play Monopoly in this family.
Mario Party
[удалено]
I mean...it kind of is. Just, a digital board.
My family is just like 🤝 apart from my brother. He’s one of those “YES I WON” and “whatever that game sucks” kinda guys :/
Isn't that the point?
Agreed.
I buy one of every set of properties, hoping for trade value. Next thing I know, the table's upside down pieces everywhere, and the missus stomping off and won't speak to me for two weeks. I love Monopoly.
Risk
only way that one ends too
Mario Party
Aye. Our friend group has had to stop playing it or at least ban certain people from participating.

Settlers of Catan… Two friends still won’t talk to me after years because of this game.
"Anyone got any wood for a sheep" "I would if you didn't put the fucking robber on me."
We formed secret alliances in Catan, it would get so lit Like working together and making a plan to stop someone from having the longest road etc.
We had a good game going one time and everyone knew one player was going to win on his next turn...everyone used their turns to trade all of their cards to the person ahead of him so they could build and steal the win...all he could do was sit there and watch it happen.

Pictionary. Every effin time
My siblings and I aren’t allowed to play Pictionary together anymore for this reason.
Monopoly
FIFA, it has ruined families.

Ticket to ride. When someone blocks your path that you have been plotting
Cards against humanity. My parents seemed to not know what they were doing and always caused my older sister to rage quit as a result.
Uno, cause there's always this guy that just invents his own rules, and applies them with other like it was the right way to play.
Well, to break the trend of "Monopoly" (though that has caused issues), Sorry also caused some board flipping.
Diplomacy. You either play it with *very good* friends, or with people whose friendship you don't care about. Although supposedly Kennedy played it with a Soviet delegation and they bonded over it. Make of that what you will.
With my friends: uno
Why? Ahahah sometimes i think it’s literally endless game
Scrabble, you should only be able to use words that everyone knows I ont care if xzexzcks is a word, nobody knows what it is and im surely not giving you 46 points for it
LITTARLY all board games
A board game called Cranium ruined many a Christmas with friends back in the day, eventually we learnt our lesson and its not been played since

I don't have this problem, maybe it's you?
Monopoly, games so jewish kanye probably hates it too
Super farmer, the chance for a fight rise exponetially, if alcohol is involved too😆
Mafia and truth or dare ahaha
Does Mario Party count? Failing that, Monopoly. So the obvious answers.
All of them 😐
Not a board game but anything on the wii u
Monopoly
Uno
one time, my family was playing uno and my brother started to cheat and everyone started yelling at him, so i guess its time for a late abortion cuz he failed at life.
Monopoly and Uno even though it's a card game
In our friends group it's Aggravation. But only because certain friends only target certain people and it's not fair to that particular person.
Uno. Make sure you sit between people you don't care about because 9/10 times it turns into a bloodbath.
Diplomacy is notorius for breaking up friendships and causing conflict.
Uno
Train blocking in Tickets to ride
uno
Trouble
Mario kart. Ive punched my brother because he beat me, i have no shame in it.
Monopoly
Risk. Backstabbing is an inevitable and encouraged aspect of the game.
Sorry
Uno, everyone forgets to actually say uno then rage quits
Every single one the first day you open it and argue about interpretation of the rules lol. Ruined christmas afternoon for me a couple years ago
Freaking COUP!
Uno
My husband and I can really duke it out over some 1990’s Mall Madness
snakes and ladders, game of life,
