Talisman was in development for XBLA, but it was scrapped.

Yeah. Hmmmpppfff. Hey Drey. . .are these games available online? Is that a stupid question? Like, you know how XBox Live has some older board or RPG games on the Arcade? Or how card games inexplicably show up on hand held consoles? Do these games have the compatibility for online play and are there communities for it? Oh and when have Europeans ever been elitist (*immense sarcasm*)? Yeah. . .well. . .you’re. . .a. . .big. . .idiot face. . .so. . .there. Yeah. Hmmmpppfff.

It takes forever and it is like dying a slow death. One person gets out in front and then has to slooooowwwwwlllllly take down everyone else who generally have not much chance to stop them. However, there are many bad things that people can really enjoy. Look at the amount of sales of crap music these days... or films like "White Chicks" that continue to get made... some people like things no matter how horrible they may be. As far as board games go, I think that the bulk of the population has been exposed to mass market hasbro crap along with "classics" like monopoly. A bad board game is still a board game, so I am pleased for all the monopoly fans out there. Oh, I have the new Talisman (no reaper expansion yet though) and cosmic encounter and really enjoy both. Do you think that Fantasy Flight could re-make Monopoly in a fun way? My favorite Ameritrash games: 1. Fortress America 2. Arkham Horror 3.

Monopoly is the kind of game that your best friend taught you to play when you were nine, and she herself learned from her older sister or her dad, who learned from a friend.... There's no telling how far you have to travel on this chain before you find someone who sat down and read the rules in depth. Some of the rules you list here are entirely new to me. I might go read them, or I might just settle in with Cosmic Encounter and Arkham Horror and be happy :).

Many people do not play by the rules, resulting in very long games. It is one game that does not necessarily benefit from house rules such as putting money on Free Parking or not auctioning a property the current player decides not to buy. RPGs are a different matter entirely, which I might cover in some future article. I think Monopoly has its place, when played by the rules.
