Electronic MONOPOLY
While visiting in northern Utah last weekend, my grandson James-age 10 wanted to play a game. I said sure...and he brought out MONOPOLY. One of my favorite games from the 1950s, BUT this was ELECTRONIC MONOPOLY. No play money––only CREDIT CARDS and a calculator to keep track o your money! And the prices of real estate had changed from reasonable to only available for MILLIONAIRES! Well, it took some adjusting to figure out HOW TO PLAY this mutated game that hardly resembled my childhood game.
What are your childhood memories of MONOPOLY. I used to play it everyday after school with my lifelong friend Mary Anne while living in California. We'd get a bunch of penny snacks and have a fun afternoon while my mom worked at the telephone office. What's your story?
