Monopoly Online?



Monopoly has gone "online".

Hasbro has released an online version of my favourite board game. They have determined the amount of rent to be paid on each property by conducting their research with taxi drivers.

They tracked the most frequent places taxis would go to, and the prices for each property would be increased accordingly. Click here to see the full article.

Yours in Fun,

Australian Top 10 Board Games

Hi!

I was reading this morning in today's paper that the following games are the top 10 games in Australia:

  • Deluxe Poker Set
  • Elefun
  • Monopoly (of course!)
  • Kerplunk!
  • Operation
  • Trivial Pursuit
  • Guess Who?
  • 20 Questions
  • Mouse Trap (I really like this one)
  • Uno
It's amazing how Poker has become the #1 game in Australia... for kids.

Poker is not, stricktly speaking, a board game, but I include it here because I'm currently learning to play it.

I found a very good resource to learn a few tips and techniques on Texas Holdem Poker via a free newsletter: http://poker.greatest-secrets.com

Mr Monahan, a former Texas Holdem Poker champion spills his beans in his newsletter. I found his tips very useful.

I want to discuss the other 8 games in my next entries (as I've done a lot of Monopoly talking thus far).


Yours in Fun,


Jeff
