What is wrong? Am I just bad, or unlucky? I keep losing to people 4 years younger. In fact, I lost first the last 8 games.

WHAT IS WRONG AHHHHHHHHHHH

I am not really cut throat or ruthless, I try to help people out and make fair deals..maybe that's the problem.

Mik, you do know Crash isn't eight years old, right? :P

That would make his lesbian posts kinda scary... :blink:

You just need to have a plan.

Some people like to put all their ships together into one big group, but I think this is a bad idea. After you get one hit somewhere the natural inclination is to try adjacent squares and they could end up getting other hits by just being lucky.

I think it's a good idea to randomly displace all your ships and have quite a few near the edge, but not touching. For some reason it's not a popular place people try to guess.

I cite irreconcilable differences.

Always go for the stations. And the electric and water company. If you can collect them al, they produce the most income for the smallest initial expense.


Oh wait... you guys will totally have a different monopoly to me, wont you? :(

I agree with Mikhailoh - the orange set is the most important. Next best is the red set.

By the way, MP, I have the British Monopoly. I've never been sure how to pronounce "Marylebone".

Nope. I've played both the English and American versions. Same game, just different colo(u)red money and different place names.

And how are you today?
