Annual Monopoly 12/28

 We are going to be very sad to see the Taylors leave in February.  She is such a wonderful lady, and Tim has high regard for Tim at work.
Once a year we get together to have dinner, and these folks KNOW Monopoly, so that's the game we play!

 This year, we did Japanese Monopoly.  You can buy Tokyo tower and other landmarks.

 But what we found fascinating, is that you get a credit card for your money.  Japanese don't do credit cards, hardly at all!!!  One side takes away whatever you owe or spend.  The other side credits you rents or going past go.  William was the 'banker' and he loved it!

 That card says CHALLENGE in katakana.

And this one is CHANCE.

 It was a buyers game!  Tim horse traded and gave a few monopolies.

 I got stuck in jail.  Shoulda bailed myself out earlier.  Oh well.  :)

One of the pieces was a cell phone.  TOO FUNNY and very Japanese representative!

It was a hoot.  Tim Taylor won this year (I won last bout).

Here is William taking rent from one card and putting it on Tim's.
