Has anyone, in the world, ever, managed to complete an entire game of Monopoly? From our experience, it generally goes something like this: one player goes bust on the first round and spends the rest of the night doing an equally bad job as the banker. Someone else - usually that smarmy sibling who earnsa little bit more than you - buys up all the train stations. The next seven hours are spent slowly giving Mr. Smarm your money, until eventually, everyone starts hustling each other, money goes missing and someone chokes half to death on a hotel.
