Betty by Gary Delainey and Gerry Rasmussen for January 09, 2025

And there it is

I grew up in a rural area. We would have rather frequent power outages. I remember many nights we would play dominoes or board games to the light of a kerosene lamp.

In this arc, Betty behaves far mor like myself than I like to admit.

It’s not supposed to be fun, it’s supposed to be educational. The unfairness is the point.

Or, on a deeper level, it’s about intellectual property theft.

Outside of tournaments, does anyone actually play Monopoly following all of the rules as written?

" I’ll bet Baltic Avenue has a bar", all this ‘fun’ makes one thirsty!

I can vaguely recall Monopoly being fun when I was a kid but the enjoyment has gone straight down hill ever since.

My family hasn’t played Monopoly in years but Uno gets very competitive.

We used to play Monopoly, but my youngest would always win. His luck is astounding. At Xmas, we all get a scratch lotto card, and he always wins the biggest prize (i.e., of those of us playing). We keep trying to get him to try the lottery.

Bub is glad that Baltic has a bar! ROFL!

There are a couple of bars on Baltic Ave. Including an Applebee’s, a Wingcraft Kitchen and Beer Bar, and The Seed: A Living Beer Project.

Hint, The Monopoly board is based on Atlantic City NJ.
