Has anyone here actually played Monopoly as an adult?
My memories from childhood are of it being quite fun, and slow.
While managing a hostel a few years ago I played hundreds of games with hundreds of adults - with adults it's extremely cut-throat and downright nasty. I estimate 75% of games ended with people yelling and screaming, after less than 4 times around the board.
It's amazing to watch how nasty it gets, and how everyone takes it so personally.
- rtpg 9y agoI've had similar experiences with a lot of games to be honest. Things like poker or catan (or tarot cards in France). There's definitely a set of the population that has no chill.
- flomo 9y agoMy memories of playing it as a child is kids crying and whining. I think this game is designed so nobody really wins, they just slowly bleed the losers until they have a breakdown and quit. Playing it as an adult, it was mostly an excuse to drink, and people had the sense to quit before the breakdown part.
