The dog was always in time out. My sister and I both always wanted to be the dog, so no one got to be the dog. I think by default I usually choose the hat. Did you know kids have been fighting over their choice of a dog, top hat, wheel barrow, race car, boot, iron, battleship and thimble for 75 years? LOL That’s right Monopoly is 75 years old. When you play Monopoly, which game piece is your avatar?
If you ever dreamed of winning REAL money from playing Monopoly, here’s your chance:
TO CELEBRATE THE 75TH ANNIVERSARY OF MONOPOLY, WE ARE GIVING AWAY THE BANK!
Starting on July 15, the Monopoly “Money Makes It Real” contest kicks off. To enter, simply describe what you would do if the money in the Monopoly game were turned into real money—in 75 words or less.
Would you travel around the world? Buy the Scottie dog you’ve always wanted? Repair your home? It’s your turn to tell us what you’d do if you won the Monopoly bank! Enter by September 2nd to be considered.
For more details on how to enter, visit the Family Game Night Facebook page.
In addition to bringing you details about how you could win real Monopoly money, I also have two Monopoly games to giveaway!
