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!

Re: [Audyssey] Alter aeon
what I have done is go through arieas even if I have a high or lower level. there are some arieas where you just deliver stuff around and you can get easy things. the only ariea I have not been able to get back to is the vemarkin garden though I have got close to it, I found it once but I didn't have enough power at that time to really handle it.

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
I must say its been years since I have been playing with family board or card games in the physical case anymore. 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. At 04:15 PM 12/2/2013, you wrote: Hi Milos, This is in deed on topic so no worries. When this list was originally established back in the mid 90's the list included all accessible games including standard board, puzzle, and card games in braille as well as electronic versions. So I am glad you asked your questions here. As to your questions here are your answers. As far as distributing the money the instructions give the exact amounts how the money is to be divided up among the players. I don't remember the exact amounts off the top of my head, but if you have a braille or audio instruction manual it will tell you how to divide the money between players. To buy a property in Monopoly you must give the banker the amount of money for the property listed on the deed, and in return he or she will give you the deed to the property. To mortgage a property you will have to give the banker the deed to that property and in return he or she will give you the mortgage value listed on the deed. He or she will write it down on a piece of paper that this or that property is mortgaged and probably keep it in a separate pile from the unsold deeds. Cheers!

Re: [Audyssey] Some practical questions reguarding the Monopoly game
Hi Dark, Well, while I would like to play some of those fantasy board games you speak of myself unfortunately I would have to own it or at least the rule book in order to make a software version of the game.

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. I try to avoid such things; I'm sort of a Nazi when it comes to following the rules in such games, especially when actually getting said money is strictly a luck-based outcome.

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.

I don't remember the exact amounts off the top of my head, but if you have a braille or audio instruction manual it will tell you how to divide the money between players. To buy a property in Monopoly you must give the banker the amount of money for the property listed on the deed, and in return he or she will give you the deed to the property. To mortgage a property you will have to give the banker the deed to that property and in return he or she will give you the mortgage value listed on the deed.

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!

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.

I wonder if they are different in the UK, although I wouldn't think so. --- Shepherds are the best beasts, but Labs are a close second. - Original Message - From: "dark" To: "Gamers Discussion list" Sent: Monday, December 02, 2013 12:12 AM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Some practical questions reguarding the Monopoly game Wow Haiden, those aren't the distributions I know. In all the rules I know it's 4 hundreds, one fifty, two tens, a twenty a 5 and 5 1's, nothing about six 20's. but I suspect this is something where different rules are used in different places and after all it doesn't really matter so long as each player has a good selection of change to pay small bills with.

When this list was originally established back in the mid 90's the list included all accessible games including standard board, puzzle, and card games in braille as well as electronic versions. So I am glad you asked your questions here. As to your questions here are your answers. As far as distributing the money the instructions give the exact amounts how the money is to be divided up among the players. I don't remember the exact amounts off the top of my head, but if you have a braille or audio instruction manual it will tell you how to divide the money between players. To buy a property in Monopoly you must give the banker the amount of money for the property listed on the deed, and in return he or she will give you the deed to the property. To mortgage a property you will have to give the banker the deed to that property and in return he or she will give you the mortgage value listed on the deed. He or she will write it down on a piece of paper that this or that property is mortgaged and probably keep it in a separate pile from the unsold deeds. Cheers!

It is about a game that is accessible, although it is not neither video nor audio game but a braille monopoly that I ordered on Ebay and it arrived some time ago.

First, let me say that I know the rules and that I am very experienced player in all audio versions of Monopoly. So the rules are not the problem, but the questions are about applying them in the physical game, that is, how to do some things that the computer does in a digital version instead. 1.
