Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

I fucking hate house rules

"I pulled this rule of my ass and now it's the law"

Most people don't hate actual Monopoly, they hate the house rules version of it. ~~Rent~~ Utilities go in the bank, Free Parking is just an empty space. If you don't buy the property it goes to auction.

Monopoly was literally designed to be terrible, it's a sardonic statement against capitalism expressed as a game that's meant to tire you out. The house rules definitely make it worse, but Monopoly isn't a good game without them, or even intended to be.

I still hate actual Monopoly because it's all about fucking over everyone else. I don't mind competitive over cooperative in a board game, but Monopoly pretty much always rewards asshole behavior.

Welcome to America! The game where the points don’t matter (if you’re rich), the rules are made up (if you’re rich), and grandpa swindling all the college funds is the entire point (to get rich).

I learnt about the auctions while playing a Monopoly videogame.

But I can't find anywhere where it says rent goes in the bank 🤔

Yeah I meant utilities, my bad.

Oh OK, that makes more sense

Variety is the spice of life, homie.

I'm not against custom rules that everyone has previously agreed upon.

However, bringing up on the go random made up rules...
