Monopoly!


I remember sitting around playing games with my family when I was young.  We used to get snowed in and out came the games.  The one we played the most was Monopoly.  To this day, I still love the game.  Not so much playing it but I love the board and pieces!

Monopoly has been around since the early 1900's.  Comes is a ton of versions.  You can find one for your state or area, schools, banks etc.


Here is a slide show of different versions:

I don't even want to think about all the Monopoly items I have!  
A watch:
 A cross stitched board: 
  
Towels, mugs, sigh...  Too many items and probably a bunch I've forgotten I have!  

Another game I used to play with was Mouse Trap!  Do you remember that one?  Do you have favorite games you play with your family?

Have a great day!
