‘Monopoly Board Crawl’ Understands Its Target Audience By Being A Drinking Game
Monopoly Board Crawl is exactly what it says right on the box. They’ve officially understood what we’ve all wanted this whole time: An excuse to drink.
If Monopoly has one hater, it’s me. If Monopoly has no haters, I am dead. Still, you can’t argue its magnitude in the gaming sphere. It’s a powerhouse of frustration, random chance, and an entirely misunderstood message of the destructive power of monopolies.
But now we can drink when we play! Officially!
Monopoly Board Crawl Overview
Monopoly Board Crawl drops everything that makes Monopoly frustrating to play. There’s no money, no bankruptcy, no board-flipping, friendship-ending, downward spirals of agony. Just drinking and maybe a few (optional) moments of truth or dare.
Players each get to choose their drink of choice and move around the board as normal. Property deeds aren’t bought with money, they’re bought with sips. But, anytime another player lands on a deed another player owns, they can choose to steal it! Either by taking a noted number of sips of their drink, or by performing some goofy, silly dare. Of course, you can also make up or write in your own to match your friend group’s vibe.
But if there’s no money in Monopoly Board Crawl, what’s the point of Chance cards? Well, I’m glad you asked, person I just made up. Chance cards work mostly similar to deeds. Rather than dealing in money, players deal with truth. They will need to lay bear their true self. Unveil the mask that conceals their soul. Speak the unspoken truths that dwell within their heart and stand unguarded before the universe, stripped of all artifice.
Again, with no money means the endgame has the change too. Rather than drag on for too long, the game ends once every player has made it around the board once. Which should only take about 30 minutes. Whichever player has the most property deeds wins!
Or, like most party games, just keep it going until everyone gets too distracted dancing to Jeff Buckley’s Hallelujah.
