It seems as though Monopoly has been around forever. Who hasn't played a game of Monopoly? WE played it, our kids play it, our parents and grandparents played, everyone's played Monopoly! Remember playing as a kid? Did you understand the game right away? Did you win? Has it helped you in your business life as an adult?
Remember all the things Monopoly taught us as kids. The value of money, paying taxes, going to jail, getting rent, paying rent. Not to mention counting, math, passing go, budgeting, and other common life skills. Monopoly is one of the best board games for us older folks to share with our little ones. More fun than a barrel of monkeys.
Playing board games as a family is a great way to keep the kids around after or get them together before dinner. Teaching as well as entertaining. More often than not a family that boards together stays together. Unless there's a major property dispute:)
Letting one of the little guys win a game or two against mom or dad can really boost their confidence. When you were a kid remember how great it felt when you won a game against your parents. You could do anything after that. Make a special day for a special person with a game of "friendly" Monopoly.
Board games are in everyone's home in one way or another. Use them! If you haven't had the chance to stock pile a few games go ahead and get a few of the classics. Holiday gaming with friends and family can be a real blast. Especially if uncle Rufus has had too much eggnog! Most of the games can be had for less than $20.00 and almost all can be bought for less than $35.00 brand new. And then there are those that collect the board games. Those are bit more :)
Have fun and enjoy the company of friends and family over a good game of anything. Doesn't matter what the game may be. Board Games bring people together and create lasting memories of great times had
