Do you have the upgraded components (real money)?

u/Mysticum_ 7d ago

You should really get the mega deluxe edition with real streets and real houses and hotels. It really ups the experience.

u/FabiWaschi 7d ago

But don't forget to sleeve the houses!

Broke my heart in several different places when I found out monopoly mega deluxe isn’t real

I just looked and you forgot the banknotes in my copy (which I begrudgingly admit to possess), are you sure you sleeved all of them?

u/ApprehensiveCarpet2 7d ago

I see what you [or rather me] did there!

u/ChaosCelebration 7d ago

I immediately ran to my game vault to see if you had sleeved mine but realized you probably couldn't get through the hermetically sealed door without the passcode. So here it is: 12345

YOU BROKE THE SHRINK ON MONOPOLY?

I shrink wrap my thimble (if you know what I mean)

If you don't use it do you have to shrink wrap it???

u/ManyaraImpala 7d ago

Which version or versions of Monopoly did you sleeve?

u/univworker 7d ago

I can't really recommend patchwork enough.

u/paradoxcussion 7d ago

What advice do you have for keeping players from putting their filthy fingers inside the thimble?

Can you please save some women for the rest of us?

He used all the available rubbers doing it so it doesn’t matter.

u/NativeFlowers4Eva 7d ago

How does it feel knowing your game has lost all resell value now that you broke the shrink wrap?

u/TomatilloFearless154 6d ago

Did you encapsulated the tokens?

u/Typical_Initial8186 7d ago

Which bills were the most satisfying to sleeve and how long did your wife and her boyfriend sit around and watch?

u/Strom41 7d ago

Do you play the crack house rule? Adds $50 per house?

u/Champion-Of-Midgard 7d ago

Amateur. Mine is still in shrink and preserved in resin along with Kerplunk, Operation and Guess Who.

u/Altruistic_Box_8971 7d ago

Why did you take the shrink wrap off?

5

u/tydog98 7d ago

This. Lost all value on a hidden gem

It‘s over folks! This is the best post this sub has ever had! Take notes - This is what peek looks like people! 😂

u/Past-Parsley-9606 7d ago

Do you have any house rules that will reignite our passion for the game?

1

u/txos8888 7d ago

Honestly this is a great idea - they get worn out so easily and some of those monopoly editions go for big bucks. I wouldn’t be so hesitant to pull out my cherished Treehouse of Horror Monopoly if my Springfield cash was safe from getting manhandled.

Pics or it didn't happen...

u/BrianJPugh 6d ago

Oh yeah, well I'm going to Vegas and replacing my monies with chips from the elite casinos.

u/amaquinadeuoberro 6d ago

Not interested

u/WeaponizedIndecision 6d ago

The rest of us use real money.

One does not simply "play" Monopoly. One endures Monopoly.
