Boardgames make people violent, I'd just ban all those devil things
Reminds me of the time two friends of mine got into a fight during Risk game, and one threw the other thru a door, breaking his arm in the process.
Everyone blames video games and yet I've seen a thousand times more stories of people getting angry over board games.
Capitalism takes another victim
I'm glad they weren't playing my version of monopoly: "Super Monopoly", where you can get a libertarianism government which lets the guy with all the money just outright buy properties from your hand and steamroll the whole game. They probably would've skipped the "Corporate Bombing" card and just built an irl bomb and fucking killed eachother.
They knew the risks.

isn't this just a normal night of playing monopoly? why is this in the news??? water is wet, the sun rises in the east, and monopoly ends in bloodshed
If I got into a fight during that Millenial version of Monopoly, i would throw avocados at my friends, call them racists and sign them up for crippling student loan debt. Gotta stick with the theme, ya know?
Maybe he real Risk is the friends you lose along the way.
My friends and I have an almost monthly board game day. Monopoly is the #1 game banned because of the amount of salt it produces in all of us. This is from a group of friends whose number 1 game to play is Settlers of Catan. Fuck monopoly.
Go straight to jail. Do not pass Go, do not collect 200$.
Glad my group isn't the only one with a story like "The Great Monopoly Incident of 20XX," though in our case it was just one girl punching the glasses off of a dude.
People need to start reading the official rules for Monopoly. This house-rule shit is dangerous.
Man, I remember playing Monopoly as a kid and whoopin' people's asses at it, but never literally.
