Monopoly Anyone

Ever play Monopoly? If so try it on the X-Box. We played last night until 2:30am. (Getting up for class was tough, not to mention we were an hour late) Anyway, we thought the rules of Monopoly were all about chance so we wanted to mix some strategy into the game. So we took advantage of the bidding feature that the X-Box version has and when one of us would land on a property we'd select the option to put it up for auction. So now the game has chance and major resource management built in. You also need to try and guess what your opponents max price on a property is and bid him up to that price while risking biting the bullet yourself. Also, you need to decide how you're going to block your opponent while saving enough money to collect a set of properties yourself. It's fun stuff and maybe I'll get into it in more detail at a different time because it's time to find some supper.
