Just Another Reason To Get Out And Take A Walk
Yesterday while waiting between a few events I found yet another way to spend time on the Internet. I've played Internet games regularly and was introduced to them at work a long time ago by a computer expert who used games to get clerks accustomed to completing paperwork with pen and ink to use computer key boards. Not entirely successful as the job required interviewing skills and listening skills and keyboarding skills. Not everyone was a three tool whiz, and not everyone was proficient in English, French, Spanish, and Creole and work arounds were needed all the time.
It's been a long time since I've played a board game, the last being Trivial Pursuit or cribbage if that counts as a board game.
Yesterday I was introduced to on line Monopoly, live against other lost souls, or against the computer. My first and possibly only time I will play online I played the computer. I've never played the game where properties not bought had the auction button. This speeds up the game and there is a trading button button that includes both properties and cash.
It's easy to know who owns what properties and the game moves along pretty quickly, but luck and attrition makes a difference. Owning the Orange, Red, and Green monopolies are also important because they are landed on slightly more often than other squares and if built up can move your opponents to bankruptcy relatively quicker if you are lucky and they aren't.
Electronic Arts has found a winner if they are judged by how much time you spend on a website. The clock which keeps track of how long the game has gone on is a constant reminder of getting lost on the web.
