Default missed the othe question by seconds >_< xD
Ability is nothing without Opportunity | | Creativity is Intelligence having FUN

Why did they play boardgames? Well yes family bonding time was the start of it. Also Muggle culture familiarity, as both his parents insisted that he doesnt lose touch of that heritage. But Monopoly specifically, his father wanted him to be a great business man, just like himself. What Tenacius couldnt say was that the very nature of Monopoly was something he wasnt very comfortable with. Its a game that encourages greed. And he couldnt say that to his dad because he knew it was basically accusing his hero of being greedy.

But right an overview of Monopoly. Up goes the hand "Monopoly is basically a real estate game, the goal being that players buy properties listed on the game board and they can collect rent money when other players land on it. The more properties they own the more money they can collect. The more developed those properties are, like if there are houses and hotels on it, the more they can charge players when they land there. And theres a bonus if a player owns all the properties listed on a specific color group-- hence MONOPOLY. Eventually the game becomes too expensive for other players and they lose money until they go bankrupt. Last man standing wins."

Which is basically how real life works. Whoopeedoo.
