His first game of NHL Monopoly...

14 Mar 2010

Now, he tells me this was his first game but given the ruthless efficiency by which he cleaned me out, I'm really beginning to wonder about the truth of that!

We dealt three properties to speed things up while Katie and Alex took a nap...and wouldn't you know it but he ended up with the Toronto Maple Leafs (Boardwalk). Three laps round the board later saw him secure the Montreal Canadiens (Park Place) and the rout was on. He added a third monopoly of ESPN/ESPN2 and ABC Sports (the utilities) which made sure I was forking over huge sums every time around. He then completed the empire by creating the corner of certain doom when he acquired the Carolina Hurricanes (boo! hiss! I was a fan before you!) and San Jose Sharks.

Four arenas later, it was all over but the shooting. Nicholas... four monopolies. Daddy...zip...nada...zilch...dead man walking!

It took 70 minutes for Nicholas to complete the kill with my Zamboni landing on Montreal after I had landed on Toronto just the lap before.

He says he's never played the game before. Frankly, I think he's earned two minutes for roughing!
