Monopoly Rules!


We thought we should give the kiddos a Monopoly primer, so we busted it out and they played their very first game tonight. {Game's not over yet...but so far it looks like Mason is going to take it! Like father, like son!}

Anyway, as we played, we started discussing the rules. You know, the "real" rules, vs. Cottam Family rules. Such as the "Free Parking" jackpot. And getting $400 if you land on GO. Stuff like that. Then when the wheeling and dealing started, we realized that we should probably get the rules of the game down and in writing before the landmark game takes place in just 2 weeks!

So we're soliciting input. Should we do the Free Parking jackpot? When are "deals" made? Is combining interests allowed? Does anything go? What are your thoughts?

Leave some feedback in the comments and we'll post the "official" rules next week...

Oh, and PS. YOU'RE ALL GOING DOWN!!!

I vote for the Free Parking jackpot rule and also rule that if you land on go you get $400. Also I vote no combining assets with other teams. Every team has to play until they are broke.

You guys are all going down! I have a feeling that The 100% Cottam team will be the champs and take the trophy back home. Best of luck to everyone.

I agree with the $400 when you land on go and the jackpot...but I love ganging up as a team to dominate. Either way I am confident that a "Brown" shall win.
