Games 101...

So I get talked into a game of Monopoly, teach the little fart how to wheel and deal, and he very nicely proceeds to kick my butt into bankruptcy!

Before he did me in, he wiped out his little brother, who was sitting on improved green and light blue properties. He ended up with over $5,000 in cash, and all the properties, and he did it all with only the railroads and improved red properties. Only three houses on each, but he still whipped us good and proper. I'm sitting there owning the yellows, purples, oranges, and the cheapy dark purples, which did me precious little good - I got no where real fast.

Bless his heart, he felt bad that we were so broke and wanted to lend us money... gotta love a teenager with empathy. That's my boy!
