        I think you mean get tax breaks on every investment property, which increased the demand for the other property on the board to unsistainable levels which means the poor sod who was rolling badly on the first rotation will have to take out a half million dollar mortgage and work two jobs to buy Old Kent Road. but I digress…

    Monopoly is terrible. There's been plenty of better games that have come along in the past 80 years, particularly in the past 20.

    Board games better than Monopoly include: http://boardgamegeek.com/browse/boardgame?sort=bggrating&sor…

    And, out of those, lighter-weight family board games: https://boardgamegeek.com/familygames/browse/boardgame?sort=…

    I'll recommend 7 Wonders, Ticket To Ride and Carcassonne to begin with. Other ideas are Catan, Sushi Go! (it's Australian!) and Love Letter. The next steps up might be Dominion, Castles of Burgundy or even Twilight Struggle, but there's a whole universe.

    Here's a quick price comparison across different stores in Australia. I recommend Milsims, Games Empire and Amazon, but stay away from Games Paradise: http://i.imgur.com/LuzALQW.png

    Even if you have to pay twice as much for a good board game, it's some of the best time you'll spend with family or friends, and that's worth every cent.

    Monopoly, with it's player elimination, nobody using auctions and how it always overstays its welcome by the end, isn't.

    Get yourself something good, guys.

          Not much of a story. A mother and a first girlfriend that did not at all get a long. Mostly the girlfriend's fault. She was behaving like a childish spoilt brat and just being plain nasty playing, embarassing me in front of my other friends. I was young and stupid so was trying to please everyone whereas I should have just walked the hell out.

          No woman that behaves like that is ever worth it. But no. She absolutely broke my heart. What do you expect at 18 though? I knew nothing. Very few are lucky enough to find the right person so early.

      Obviously you were never good at monopoly. I think it is probably one of the best board games of all time since it has been around since 1935 - pretty good since most board games these days dont last long or sell as well.

      My favourite is Risk.

    • aimon on 17/06/2015 - 08:53

      Good post. A friend introduced me to Pandemic and Dominion last night. Loved Pandemic but found Dominion boring as batshit :)

      Any other recommendations? what about Eldritch Horror??

      • Mafia Snitch on 17/06/2015 - 09:00

        Not Quick but I've played both Arkham Horror and Eldritch Horror. They are fun but can be long and hard to beat.

        I'd recommend Dead Of Winter. It's a great co-op game with a betrayer aspect and secret objectives set in a zombie Apocalypse. It gets pretty intense and has a reasonable playtime.

        If you haven't got a copy it might be worth waiting. It's sold out everywhere so people list new copies at a premium but a 2nd reprint is coming within the month.

    • Mafia Snitch on 17/06/2015 - 08:57
      +1

      Quink speaks the truth. Monopoly is like pong to modern day video games.

      I'm an avid board gamer and so many people are jaded on table top games because of those long boring sessions of Monopoly. It just takes a couple of rounds of Resistance, Dead of Winter or Twilight Struggle to get them reared up.

      I know this is cheap but it's cheap for a reason. Save up your money, head over to board game geek nd find something that tickle your fancy. And when you decide to buy I'll second staying away from Games paradise, they're the EB Games of table top gaming. Over priced, provide pretty mediocre service (with the rare gem) and will often list items as in stock online when they're not.

      I'd personally recommend Games Empire. I make the trek there once a month from the eastern suburbs to load up. They have great prices, exceptional service and keep a wide range of games.

      While I agree with the sentiment that there are plenty of great unknown or non-mainstream board games out there that people really should take a look at — your complaints about 'nobody using auctions' is simply the result of players not following the rules.

      The rules of Monopoly say if you land on a property, and don't buy it, it must go to auction.

      Play the game properly, and all of a sudden it's a much better game.

      It no longer takes an entire day to play, because all the property is snatched up in a few revolutions around the board, there's skill and strategy in auction wars, and generally much greater interaction between players. Same with the cash reward on Free Parking — all it does is prolong the game.
      No wonder it 'overstays its welcome'.

      I wonder how many of those 'better' games would fare once you selectively throw out the rulebook to appease your 8 year old child or prevent a family argument like people seem to have done with Monopoly over the last 80 years.

      • Mafia Snitch on 17/06/2015 - 10:27

        This is true. House rules have killed monopoly for many players

    • Adamiam on 17/06/2015 - 10:42

      Appreciate your advice on board games, but in terms of buying, I wouldn't discount Games Paradise. Try their eBay page, they often offer free shipping there and I picked up Catan cheaper there than anywhere else a few months ago (and I searched, a lot, like a true Ozbargainer). Also, that table is helpful but it seems to be a couple of years out of date.
