I am organizing a Monopoly tournament as a fundraiser for a local non profit, North Iowa Vocational Center. www.nivcservices.org
This company helps train people with barriers to employment and find employment in the community.

Place: Mason City, Iowa
Time: TBD (Noonish)
Date: 22 September 2012
Cost: $25
Prizes for individual Place winners and a Team (5) Champion.

We are early in the planning stage so I don't have many other details. If you are interested, let me know and I will send you info as it comes out.

Thanks!!

Peace

Man, I SO want in on this. Too bad I'm not in Mason City. Can I get Hansman as my proxy?

[Stinky Pete]

Absolutely!

Actually there are official tournaments all over the country.

The only question that matters: does "tax" money go into the center of the board, and you get it if you land on Free Parking?

That's like the most unwrittenest rule ever!

Far out, man. This reminds me of my competitive Scrabble days. Funny how having a kid changes everything... I haven't played in a Scrabble tournament in, oh, six & 1/2 years or so. I think I still have my flashcards somewhere, too.

If you land on a railroad, and owner of the railroad owns more than one railroad, can you move your piece to one of the other railroads he owns?

I've always liked that rule, myself.

I have honestly never heard of that rule. It makes sense, but I've spent my life in the backwoods of Iowa.

Ha!! I've never heard that rule either. I'm in Iowa as well. Must be something that the rest of the country knows but they left us out of the loop on.

I like that rule though. Next time we play, I'm totally going to try to convince everyone to let that one in. I'm all for spicing it up in as may ways possible.

Maybe it's just a Southern Indiana (where I grew up) thing.

It makes sense though. And if definitely tends to change the strategy some.

I'm from southern Indiana and have never heard of that rule either (must be a west side thing).

Just makes people not want to own railroads, right?

Actually, no. It makes railroads more valuable (in most circumstances), and it encourages people to not focus solely on developing Corners Of Death. For example, developing Yellow and Green isn't quite as nice if someone can railroad right around them. Odds are, though that it would be tougher to railroad around both Red and Green, for instance.
