    Mrs Tester and her family seem to follow the European social undemocratic model of market economics. When I own a street that could complete someone else’s set and give them great power and wealth, I demand guarantees of rent free visits, any utilities owned by the purchaser, or 5 years (rounds) of the potential turnover of the complete street set as a purchase price assuming the street set is covered in hotels. I’m an Anglo-Saxon type who believes in getting the full market value for my property. Mrs Tester then gets her family together to vote against me and force me to sell at face value. I then have to suffer being called a ‘money grabbing capitalist barsteward’ by the very person whose handcrafted shoe and luxury hotel budget is financed by my capitalist greed.

    Ergo, we don't play monopoly very often.
    And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014

      I've played that one, and it changed the game by increasing the money supply. I can't remember much about it now though.
