As the weather cools down, more family game nights will be coming up. When you think of ‘game night’ most would first think of Monopoly.
Can you believe Monopoly is now celebrating their 75th year? Parker Brothers started selling Monopoly in 1935. Since then it has seen many different editions (board games, travel games, video games) as well as some specialized ‘opoly’ games (I had a San Francisco-opoly). Still, the original has always maintained the same level of fun and interest. Almost everyone has memories of the car, shoe, dog, and hat.
Of course, we’d all like it if that money was real. What would you do if it was? It can be! Read the details for the Monopoly “Money Makes It Real” contest. Enter until 9/2 and hope your story is voted among the top 75 to be in line for the grand prize!

If Monopoly money were real, I’d use it to pay off my daughter’s student loans! I’m so proud of her graduating with a degree in music education! And if I had any extra, I’d take a vacation on a sandy beach somewhere.
