Like many other teenagers who stay online constantly, I'm a huge loser. To emphasize this fact, I feel it is necessary to share with INTL today's adventures with board games.
This week is spring break, so I decided to organize a monopoly tournament for myself and all of my equally nerdy friends. It was fun times for all. Photographic evidence:
I told everyone to show up at 1 o'clock for the tournament (and homemade cookies), but all of the track fags were late since they had to go home and shower after practice. Laura and I set up the board games beforehand in an attempt to salvage time.
Autumn, Jake, and Matt showed up fashionably late. Laura decided to make the most of our spare time to construct a WW2-like concentration camp out of game pieces.
She rolled the dice to see how many barracks of jews would be sent to the gas chamber. Snake eyes meant some of the SS were killed. After three rounds of this, the record of jews vs. nazis was 1-2. Also, Hitler's car was taken out by the jewish uprising during round one. Himler oversaw the camp afterward.
By about 1:30, Sara, Luke, and Josh had yet to show up. Autumn and Laura began playing Go Fish with the monopoly property cards. Needless to say, the game didn't quite work out.
Once they showed up, the 1 v. 1 games started. The winners of each of the four games would advance to the final monopoly deathmatch. Jake cheated a lot and won. Somehow, he earned nearly $9,000 in under an hour.
By the luck of the draw, Sara and Luke were paired up. Sara landed on one of Luke's hotels. He didn't notice until after he rolled the dice, causing him to lose upwards of $900.
I ended up kicking Josh's ass in the first round. He wrote under my name (on the high-tech brackets I made) "evil devil woman." Hey man, it's not my fault you gave up Kentucky for Reading Railroad.
Also, I threw in a pizza to feed the masses. We waited around for about a half hour until it was edible. The men went outside to "shoot some hoops" while Sara and I tended to the kitchenwork like good women.
One crappy pizza actually fed 8 teenagers. I did provide other, more nutritious snacks for the kids.
In the final round, I went out second. Here's Luke and Autumn in an intense match as Laura and Jake watch with anticipation:
Meanwhile, the losers decided to get out my risk board.
It ended up being only Josh and Matt at the risk game. Josh is a fucking genius, so he was at ease during gameplay.
Matt, however, had no idea what he was doing.
In my dining room, Luke's lead was growing by the minute.
Autumn finally went bankrupt, making Luke the ultimate Monopoly champion.
At the end, I was left with a huge cardboard bracket thing. Luke was a [censored] and didn't take it home to show his parents. Laura had fun pretending she had just been surprised with a check from publisher's clearinghouse.
And that concludes the first ever amatuer Ohioan Monopoly Tournament. Thank you, come again.
edit- I caught some spelling errors made during my excitement over the pictures last night.
