Around 9 pm, I went to a friend's house and watched a movie I rented, Black X-Mas. It was an "okay" movie, not so great.what did you do last night?
Afterwards, we played Monopoly with him and his girlfriend. His girlfriend won.
Of course, we played the suoer-short version. Along with using a 20-sided die instead, we also modified a rule we got from the Monopoly: Lord of the Rings Edition game.
Since we used my friend's Monopoly: Star Wars - Episode I Edition, we used a quarter as the "Ring of Power"... called the "Token of Power". Since we wanted to play the game faster, we declared two things on the 20-sided die. If you roll a 5, 10, 15, or 20... you move the "Token of Power" and the roll counts as 'doubles' (normally refers to when two 6-sided dice end up with the same number). With this method, the odds of rolling that is 1-to-4... which is more frequent than 1-to-6.In that game, you have a "Ring of Power" token... which is the ring from the movie/book, obviously. This new rule involves putting the ring on the first property. One of the two dice has the "Eye of Sauron" instead of "1". Whenever that "Eye of Sauron" is rolled, the "Ring of Power" is moved to the next property. Whenever a player lands on a property that is occupied by the "Ring of Power", two things can happen. If the property is owned, that player must pay the owner twice what he or she owes. If the property is unowned, that player gets that property... free. The game ends when the "Ring of Power" is moved to the final property (Board Walk). The winner is determined by whoever has the most money. Normally, the odds of rolling the "Eye of Sauron" is 1-to-6.
So, the game ended. I got one monopoly (near the end of the game) of green, one free parking ($500 from middle), and a total of approximately $3,270. He got no monopoly, one free parking ($1,500 from middle), and a total of approximately $3,800. She won with one monopoly (during middle of game) of pinkish-purple with 3 apartments (houses) each, two free parking ($1,000 from middle), and a total of approximately $4,800. Since she got $400 from me once and $400 from him twice, she was able to get ahead and beat us.
After that, I headed back home around 2 am.
