I was in the middle of a business negotiation
Following a lengthy period hotel-hopping in the City, I came together with my banker to negotiate my business activity and resettle my finances. I proposed remortgaging a string of properties, selling one or two houses and possibly even winding up my chief business, which was in the energy market.
The argument was fraught, and my banker wouldn't budge an inch. I was over my head in debt, I had no guaranteed income and with such massive mortgages, there was no long-term future for me. We argued, we fought, we traded insults with eachother until I got to my feet, slammed my fist down on the desk and bellowed "ENOUGH!"

My life has become a lot less stressful since I quit Monopoly.

Pun
OK, you win a click for that one. I didn't see the punchline coming, well done!

Too true
I can't play Monopoly without getting into a rage either. Somehow my better half *always* manages to get lucky on the first two rounds and grab all the good stuff. It must be remote controlled dice. Must be.

There is a way to win
And I find that it generally works.


I'm not telling you what it is.

Stats
@chickenlady

Statistically speaking... Trafalgar Square is the most landed on square on the board.

Plus the best sets to get are the reds, the pinks and of course the Mayfair/Park Lane duo.

@ Calamarain
That may work, but there *is* a guaranteed method....and you didn't mention it.

Ah, Monopoly
I don't think I've ever lost a game - AND I don't cheat (too much)
