Re: [Audyssey] Some practical questions reguarding the Monopoly game
Well for a start the London version of monopoly that I know which is commonly used in the Uk doesn't use Dollars :D. Then again monopoly seems to have a lot of rule variation. When i originally played for example I always thought no buying on the first go around the board was an official rule and was quite surprised to find many players didn't. It makes for a longer game and also makes luck with the dice important to get off to an early start, but it does tend to result in players picking up properties in a more spread out way since obviously they will arive on the first few squares at different times. There was also a really weerd rule which I've seen some people play with that whenever a player loses cash to a chance or community chest card, that cash goes into the center of the board and the next person who lands on free parking can take it, though to me that one seemed just plane crazy, and I couldn't really see the point since you don't get paid for free parking in real life :d. And all this is of course apart from some of the whackier custom monopoly games with different rules and cards, albeit I've unfortunately never really got to play those myself as (as usual), the only accessible version in braille is the bog standard original one.

Re: [Audyssey] Some practical questions reguarding the Monopoly game
Well the rules I mention are from the version I own which is the brailled version by the Rnib, and knowing what they're like, while it is a good set with clear markings and decent colours it might be possible that it had some earlier varients of the rules. As I said however it's the alternative monopoly games I'm a little sad to miss, indeed fantasy board games seem to have really taken off at the moment. My nbrother regularly plays a lotr board game which plays like a gamebook with some simple mechanics with the players playing the four hobbits going to Mordor. My brother also regularly plays Talisman and has collected several varients, which is another very famous fantasy board game with basic rpg mechanics but the board as the playing space and lots of random event cards. I'd actually love to see an accessible version of a fantasy board game like that, as I've always wanted to play one but none have ever been accessible. Beware the Grue!

In the Star Trek and Star Wars boards I had instead of money they were called credits which makes sense. In the Lord of the Rings version there was a ring that traveled around the board which had its own special rules quite apart from the bog standard Monopoly you are familiar with.

Re: [Audyssey] Alter aeon
Honestly, I think one of the most important things to know about exploring areas and soloing is to aim low. If your character is level 30, try level 28 areas instead of level 30 areas. Go for areas that are a bit weaker, so it's easier and safer to explore, until you get the hang of exploring. You'll still get loads of experience, but your chances of dying are a lot lower. For actually finding areas, use the 'area' command to search for areas by level and continent, then the 'nearby' command to figure out roughly where they are. For example, the 'area 28' command lists areas between level 25 and level 31. Remember that there's a big difference between a level 30 character with 85 total levels, and a level 30 character with a hundred total levels. It's ok to be in lower level areas if you're not ready for the higher level ones.

Re: [Audyssey] Some practical questions reguarding the Monopoly game
Hi Dark, Heh. As weird as the house rule appears to you, I think you'd be surprised how many people use it. Most people I know use it on an actual physical board, and if I' on the playroom it almost always comes into play there as well.

Hi Dark, Interesting.

When your token lands on a field and you want to buy it, how do you do it? Do you just take the card where that property info is written? 2. How does one distribute the money? The board comes with a number of banknotes of 1, 5, 10, 50, 100 and 500 dollars. How to distribute the money at the beginning so that everyone has 1500 dollars as the rules state, and still to be able to pay, say, 2, 3, 14 or 223 dollars? 3.

Re: [Audyssey] Some practical questions reguarding the Monopoly game
Well I wouldn't be a nazi about it, but while I can certainly see bennifits for many rule changes that one sort of confuses me since I don't see what it adds to the game other than the chance to grab extra money at random. But then again if people like the rule fair enough, it's certainly not a game breaker the way I've seen some house rule changes. For example I remember one version of hearts where all the hearts counted their spot value, (ace as eleven), which made the game very whacky as compared to the standard rules since the ace of hearts was nearly as bad as the queen of space, and even if you lose one penalty point if it's the ace your in trouble. I also remember one version which utterly missed off shooting the moon. BEware the Grue!

In the Star Trek and Star Wars boards I had instead of money they were called credits which makes sense. In the Lord of the Rings version there was a ring that traveled around the board which had its own special rules quite apart from the bog standard Monopoly you are familiar with.

It makes for a longer game and also makes luck with the dice important to get off to an early start, but it does tend to result in players picking up properties in a more spread out way since obviously they will arive on the first few squares at different times. There was also a really weerd rule which I've seen some people play with that whenever a player loses cash to a chance or community chest card, that cash goes into the center of the board and the next person who lands on free parking can take it, though to me that one seemed just plane crazy, and I couldn't really see the point since you don't get paid for free parking in real life :d.

That is what confuses me. I am level 30 mage, am actually at 86 total levels. I am Sasanak on there btw, if anyone would like to group up with me sometime. I really do enjoy playing in groups more than soloing, but I would like to solo every once in a while, but as I say I have no clue where to find good levels to go so I don't get killed. Lol. Oh, and hey Dark, maybe you could do a podcast on Alter Aeon sometime. That'd be wicked awesome! :D As well as probably helpful, as even though I've been playing the game off and on for about a year, I still really feel like a newb. Lol.

Hth.

Re: [Audyssey] Some practical questions reguarding the Monopoly game
Hi Shaun, I can sort of relate to that although my situation is a bit different. When I was growing up I use to play board and card games with my mom and her friends, but when I got into my teens etc those friendly gatherings were few and far between. There was a long stretch where I didn't play any card or board games with anyone until I got married. After Esther and I got married we use to play games like Monopoly frequently, but now that we are in the mitts of a divorce I'd say I will probably have little opportunity to play a standard card or board game with someone else unless I do so with my son or something like that. For me these days an electronic/software version is more likely what I will have to be content with. Cheers!

There was a time back in the past before people really got busy with life we would use to do that. Sadly thats mostly gone now. Even when we are away unless we part with almost every bit of tech we have including our phones, tablets and computers which we can't really do fully, we end up playing with those instead of the games. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.
