I remember playing [The Game of Life](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Game_of_Life), or as it is known now, _Life_, when I was young.
I also at one point played [Candy Land](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Candy_Land) and [Mouse Trap](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mouse_Trap_(board_game)). Do people play board games anymore? Are board games played differently depending on the region of the world?

Do you have a specific strategy when playing Monopoly? I was never good at it.

scam people into paying more than they should
that’s what I do
otherwise I don’t really have much in terms of strategy, I just like making people lose money and watch as I somehow benefit from it

Do you always bid in every auction, or only for things you are interest in?

What I find to be the best strategy at monopoly oddly works better when using an actual board then when playing most computer versions. There are only so many houses. so if you have a lot of houses and no hotels. other people may not be able to afford to jump straight from nothing to 2/3 hotels for there properties.
Also, my place of work sells board games. Card games sell better, but board games are still selling well enough.

I’m atrocious at monopoly. Plus, I grew up in more of a card game family than a board game family.

Understandable, as the same cards can be used to play various cardgames…
