The Monopoly board game!




CarrieO -> RE: Fighting for freedom for generations (6/13/2010 3:58:11 PM)

One of my favorite board games and I had no clue about it's historic background.  Thanks!

~I still have a "get out of jail free" card I carry in my wallet, just in case [;)]~

Fun read. Thanks!




tropicalhoney -> RE: Fighting for freedom for generations (6/13/2010 5:57:19 PM)

Thanks for sharing. I had heard that Monopoly was used to help POW's but never knew how.

Cool story, Thanks for posting it Steve

So if this is laudable, so was my role in assisting the smuggling of drugs and money into the prisons around here years ago. (past the statute of limitations now)

Nothing personal, but I still callem as I seeum.

Awesome story!  In fact, that entire site was great.  I got lost in it for a while and I bet I will again bunches.

Thanks for sharing.

Oh sorry. It is a cool story, that was the snarkster in me earlier.

Sometimes risk is the spice of life. I don't suppose they smuggled in a Risk game eh ? Ever play it, it has some qualities. Imagine that, a bunch of POWs sitting around moving armies and taking over countries. That'd be one hell of a pastime in that situation wouldn't it ?

I was also thinking that the same thing would not likely happen today now that most major currencies can be detected electronically. The things people used to be able to get away with - it can work for ya or agin ya huh. Some may say "We need tighter security in the prisons etc." but the prisoners and their families might not agree.

It's all perspective.
